My original target was 8 cm but I got early consolidation at 6cm. Will go for rebreak in the next 6-9 months. AMA
-
How was your overall experience with the doctor and how’s the PT over there?
How come you didn’t increase the lengthening rate to avoid early consolidation?
-
Is the hospital still very ugly??? Or they improved ir?? Is LON safe there?
-
How come you used 8.5 mm version of nail?

My bones are small like a child lol.

It's not ugly at all. It's clean and looks fine. I don't think LON is safe anywhere. I wouldn't recommend LON.

I was doing 0.9 mm per day initially then doc increased it to 1.2mm per day but I still got it even after 1.2 mm per day. I even stopped taking calcium supplements but couldn't stop my bones from fusing together. PT is mediocre at best. I didn't do much PT throughout the process. Overall exp with doc is pretty good they know their stuff and took all the precautions during and after the surgery.
-
Good to hear that as I myself am considering them for CLL. Regarding PT, I think I will have to put in the extra work.

what’s was the weight bearing protocol and are you weight bearing now? I remember doctor said that he will be more aggressive with weight bearing as he does more precise patients.
Now that you are 6cm taller how does it feel and what’s your starting height if I may ask?
How come you will re-break after 6-9 months and not now?
-
Did you discuss the risk of non-union/delayed union with the doc? Is non-union treatable?
-
congrats
1) why rebreak? just do tibias and get good proportion
2) how did u travel outside of hotel to hospital? and did u have any other medical needs to go to a doctor?
3) what was the protocl taken to prevent blood clotting

1. I don't have budget to buy another precice for tibia and I won't do external.
2. I am living in a rented flat with 2 flatmates/friends. I use a wheelchair taxi service called mobicab.
3. They put you on dvt pump after the surgery and prescribe blood thinners for 30 days but you can continue to take them for 3 months if you want. I didn't take any blood thinners at all.
-

I remember discussing all the risks before the surgery. They try to fix non-union by some medicines first and then if it doesn't work then they do bone grafting.

I am walking with a walker and putting full weight on my legs while standing. Hopefully, I can get rid of the walker in a few weeks. I don't feel much different tbh that's why I'll go for rebreak. My initial height was 164cm.

I hope you recover fast and everything goes well. Are you planning doing second LL after this?
-
Did you use any caretaker service during your rehab or did one of your family members help you during the distraction process? Do you think it is required to have a family member support during this process?

I used a caretaker service. It's not possible without a caretaker or family member.
-

Nope, just rebreak and more lengthening in femur for now. No immediate plans for tibia lengthening.
-
1- How’s your range of motion with 6 cm of extra height?
2- How often you do PT?
3- if you were to redo this procedure, would you still go to Dr. Mangal?
4- do you have any advice for me regarding the procedure and this doctor?
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer these questions. I really appreciate and hope all keeps going well for you.
-
Thanks for answering all the questions OverandOver..
Few last ones :)
1. How did you come to terms with the risks of the surgery? Is it by thinking that major complications are rare and other ones could be handled by a competent surgeon?
2. How long did you think/ research about this surgery before taking the plunge? Did it take time for you to come out of analysis-paralysis mode?
3. Were you scared/nervous before the procedure?
4. Is your height dysphoria almost cured?

1. If you are talking about knee bending then it's like 110 - 120 degrees.
2. 3-4 times a week (not much). My hamstrings are very tight.
3. Yes
4. Having a positive mental attitude and a good support system is very important.

4. Is your height dysphoria almost cured?
1. I was mainly scared of dvt and fat embolism. The risks are almost the same as getting a femur fracture so I decided to take that risk.
2. I was very clear about getting it done so the only hard part was to convince my parents.
3. Not really.
4. No, I am still short. I need to be at least 5'8 to cure my height dysphoria.That's why I'll go for rebreak.
-
you were afraid of dvt but did not take any blood thinners??
did you inform this to the team and they said ok?
-
why not rebreak now itself? you are anyway kind of disabled right now. why recover and then again use weelchair?
-

Doc said he'll not rebreak the regenerate part and I think it'll be better to do stretching so that I can go full 8cm and even more if possible. I don't want to rebreak and stop again because of some muscle or nerve issue so better to take some time to stretch.
-

I had some kind of allergic reaction to both aspirin (aspirin-induced asthma) and Xarelto (stomach issues) so I was using a DVT pump instead.

how can you go even more if the nail cannot extend beyond 8cm? you wll have to change the nail to a new one.

did you inform the doctor about this?
its quite serious to not take blood thinners. i hope you figure something out before your next surgery if u get dvt the treatment is mainly blood thinners.better to find a medication that works for u. why not take injections that will prevent stomach issues?
-
what support system did u have for mental support? is it too difficult to endure this alone with just a hired helper?
were u properly examined by the doctor during follow up visit? did he check for flexibility, nerve damage, and so on or just xrays?
did you have any other medical needs during lengthening like visiting a general physician or something? did u use that mobile cab service for that also?
did you get general anesthesia or spinal? was it horrible to wake up from general?

1. I had a helper and I was living with 2 friends. Parents used to call me every day.
2. He examined flexibility and xrays.
3. I had stomach issues and some allergic reactions. I used remote consultation for that.
4. I took spinal and I was awake during the surgery.

That sounds very complicated. I hope everything goes well.
-
so you told your 2 friends/flatemate you did it? what was their reactions?
would you tell your future partner about this?
next time, please see about injections as blood thinners. they can help avoid stomach issues. dvt is a serious risk with this type of procedure. i think if you had informed your doctor about your problems with tablets he wouldve advised it himself
do you have duckass currently?
-

Why not LON? Is the only option I have becuase of money, externals are too uncomfortable and too long process
-

LON is the same as externals for the lengthening phase which is very uncomfortable. I was only able to sleep on my stomach and side because of precice this wouldn't have been possible with externals. Also, LON has a risk of infection so you have to be very strict with cleaning and taking care of the wounds.

No duckass. My hamstrings are tight but no other issues.

what caused early consolidation? how can it be prevented?
-

You can't really do anything. If you increase the speed of distraction then you'll start developing nerve issues. I was doing 1.2mm per day and still got early consolidation.

I see..Does Dr. Parihar monitor for any nerve injury issues?
-

They are very obvious doc's don't have to do anything special to monitor those. You'll start developing weird sensations and numbness. He mainly monitors the tightness and Xray.

Hey man, how are things going with you? Would love to get an update on your situation.

I can walk with crutches and for very short distances, I can walk unassisted.

The walk is not 100% normal but people don't notice anything wrong. I can jump, run and do squats.

Hi congrats on the lengthening. I am considering going with Dr Parihar soon.
How was your pain level during legthening phase, with and without pain killers. On a scale of 1-10. I might shoot you a few DMs when I get closer to getting the surgery. Thanks!

It's hard to put it on a scale. It was painful but bearable. After paracetamol, it was like 1-2 maybe 3 max and without paracetamol, it was 5-6. I didn't take any other pain medicine.
-
Hi overandover, congrats on your journey.
Are you going to do the rebreak with Dr Parihar? In general how would you rate his team and the facilities?
-
did they respect your privacy in this clinic? I have heard they is less privacy in medical system in India.

I am not sure what you mean by respecting your privacy. They don't sell your data or anything. It's a hospital or not facebook.

not selling but using for ads and stuff like that
"see this man's xrays he got 5cm in our hospital" like that
Or a data leak or something like that
maybe I am paranoid but do you think a patient can hold this procedure details to himself till death here? asking bcoz I do not want any body to find out lol I am telling I am getting acl or something like that

They don't advertize at all. They don't accept cosmetic patient easily. Cosmetic LL is not his main practice and he rarely do cosmetic LL (like 3,4 cases per year) so ads are out of the question.
-
ya thats true they are not even interested in cosmetic
what about that company (not nuvasive something else) which will buy nails for your behalf? is it enough to just transfer them the money and they will buy it or should you share any private informations to them? Did this concern you?
-
What are top things you didn't liked in this clinic?
1.PT
anything else??
-
is the hospital now posh and modern looking and has it improved from the pictures u see on practo website?

Did you meet the dr in person once before commitng for surgery or did you finalise all thru zoom and send ct scans directly and ordering the nail without meeting the drs?
i had zoom call but they are not responding to my email after that.

Near the clinic is very expensive you should get one in navi mumbai or thane

ok you said you took mobicab to travel.
1. did mobicab wait for your appointment to finish and took you back to your house from the clinic? or you booked 2 mobicab, one for going and one for coming?
2. Is Mangal Anand clinic easy to get into on wheelchair? I know hospitals are wheelchair friendly insidide but usally in India just outside the hospital its still very hard to enter due to obstacles and stairs etc. Did you take your care taker to clinic appointments?

1. Yes, I took their 6 hours 90 km plan.
2. It's fully accessible from the main gate to the consultation room. Most people who go there are recovering from some kinda ortho condition like hip replacement or fracture.

did u self donate blood pre surgery?
what if transfusion become necessary
is the clinic having blood bank to store blood?

I didn't donate blood and I didn't need any transfusion. Most people don't need any transfusion for this surgery. If it becomes necessary then they'll get it for you it's not a big deal. The place is surrounded by multiple big hospitals and blood banks.

-
are u still planning for tibias? how much length and where?
4 to 5 cm in tibia with precice. I'll go with dr parihar again because other options don't make much sense. I've done it once so won't be difficult to do it in the same env again.

In the next 3-4 months. It'll suck man but being short sucks even more so I'll do it. I'll be average after doing my tibia.
-
How much was the surgery?
-
You don’t even notice the height increase until 5cm so it seems
Hardly worth it for that length only
-

was blood transfusion risk even mention to you as a risk/possibiliy pre op in the counselling and consent meeting with the surgeon?
-

nope. I know people who got blood transfusion because of dengue and accident in India so it's very common to get blood and people generally don't talk about the NAT testing issue you mentioned. I think there's not much awareness about this issue.
-
Can you talk about the perception of others towards you? Do people say something is different? Do they notice you're taller or not really?
-

No one really noticed tbh. Most of my friends are tall so I am still shorter than them but I def feel better.
-
You lengthened the perfect amount. Enough to feel good but not so much that you get a million questions and are the talk of the town. This is what Im shooting for. If you re-break this obviously might go out the door but its a trade off and worth it for some people.

I'll be going to get 2 more inches on my tibia. My friends are now used to my new height I wonder if they'll notice 2 more inches.
-
Well Ill be curious. Keep us updated and good luck.

Hey congratulations for your lengthening!
1. On what criteria does he decide with who he performs the cll with?
2. And how did you manage that he chooses you?
3. How much did the surgery cost and how much did you pay for all the time you stayed there?
Thank you for your insight!
-
1. On what criteria does he decide with who he performs the cll with?
A. I think he avoids young people who wants to hide it from their family and people who have unrealistic expectations and doesn't understand the risks.
2. And how did you manage that he chooses you?
A. I think he'll do it for anyone as long as you understand the risks, have realistic expectations and some kind of support from family etc.
3. How much did the surgery cost and how much did you pay for all the time you stayed there?
A. around 42k usd for nail and surgery and per month cost was around 1k$ per month (including rent, internet, food, caretaker, and other misc stuff). My rent was very cheap because I stayed with my friends otherwise it'll be around 1k just for rent) so you can assume 1.5-2k in total per month.
-
when travel thru mumbai city to get surgery did you feel some what scared because of how much chaos and dirty it is (like dharvi and surrounding areas) in general as you travel thru?
I know this does not mean anything about the hospital but on the journey to the hospital when you see the surrounding did you suddenly feel extra scared thinking what I am doing?

The route from my place to the hospital was pretty clean and didn't have any problems other than traffic. I didn't cross dharvi. I saw a lot of skylines and greenery on the way and the under-construction bridges for the metro.

Thats awesome! It'll be a better decision than rebreaking as effort will be same but more gains 8)
I wish you all the best!

If there is NO method at this hospital to self donate blood before surgery will you still get tibias surgery here only? or will you do it in foreign country

I did research for this
hepatatis in most cases it goes away on its own so its not chronic in most cases
Getting hiv chances are very very low so I think it might not be big problem really
When you went for consultation did you get questions by other patients in waiting room like why are you there?

did you feel embaressed or shy to go there atleast in the first 1-2 time? bcoz its not a cosmetic clinic like the los Angeles mahboubian clinic, so they dont see people for cosmetic surgery frequently

Nope, what's there to be embarrassed about? I am spending my hard-earned money to improve my life there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

then why did you say bike accident hahahaha
but srsly its good to not be embaressed. I guess it can feel awkward to some people as fully grown man to go to clinic and do height surgery. I hope it will reduce after 1 or 2 visits

are u sure the dr will accept you as patient again for surgery? bcoz youve done it once already and he might ask "why do you wanna do it again now, are you having depression?"

1. Of course, I'll need another set of precice tibai for 2nd surgery.
2. You don't have to worry about this. The agent will take care of this. It's a simple process.
-
for 2nd surgery are you completely calm when compared with 1st surgery?
or is there anything new that you are concerned with?

The first 2 weeks are hard. I know what to expect though. The biggest concern is the stomach and constipation.

1.This is after how many months since you stopped lengthening ?
2.Its impossible to walk during the lengthening phase with precice 2.2 right ? unless you weigh like 50kg (I'm kinda confused regarding this.People on the forum keep saying you are wheelchair bound for 6 months if you do precice 2.2 blah blah , but according to Dr paley , precice 2.2 patients can walk around using crutches/walker,while stryde patients can walk without anything within a few weeks of surgery . What's going on ? )
3.You said you didn't have money to do tibias , but now you're going for precice tibias ?

3.You said you didn't have money to do tibias , but now you're going for precice tibias ?
1. I don't remember and will update later.
2. It's very risky to walk. I didn't walk at all and didn't put any weight on my legs until I got early consolidation.
3. Yeah, I want to do precice tibias this year. Hustling for money bro and aggressively saving.

did doc want consent from ur family before booking surgery?
or only on surgery day itself?
is it sufficient to involve family member just before surgery (on surg day) and not before booking surgery?

Just had a zoom call one day before the surgery with my parents. He just wants to make sure you have proper emotional support during the process.
