Unfortunately, I was quite occupied with my work during the autumn of 2015, and I could only schedule an appointment to see Dr. Guichet in February 2016. This waiting period was truly lengthy for me. I really wished to undergo the limb lengthening process as soon as possible!
Finally, I had my initial meeting with Dr. Guichet in Milan. He was friendly and well-informed, just as his other patients had described. He addressed all my inquiries and dispelled my uncertainties. However, he made one request, which was to enhance my leg strength by 30%. Fortunately, he agreed to allow me to undergo training at home, as long as it was supervised by a certified personal trainer.
Following over three months of intensive training with a competent personal trainer, I scheduled my second appointment with Dr. Guichet and booked my surgery for June. During my time at home, I reached out to Dr. Guichet multiple times via email, and he consistently replied personally. Most of the time, he responded to my emails within 3 days, unless he was occupied with surgical procedures.
