Hello

I've created this blog site Get Smaller Calves for all those who want to know more about Calf Reduction Surgery at OZ CLINIC also some hints and tips for Seoul. I have personally experienced the surgery and am pleased with my result so far. I will add a journal of my experience that I wrote from my trip in Seoul. I hope you find it helpful.

If you have any questions or anything you want to discuss please don't hesitate to email me at get.smaller.calves@gmail.com
I'd be more than happy to help you if I can.

Before surgery


Left leg = 37.5cm, Right leg = 37.0cm

After surgery (9 weeks later)


Left leg = 34cm, Right leg = 33.5cm

Important!! Hints and Tips before you arrive in Seoul

1. Go to the Taxi Stand- be wary of hagglers at the airport, you will GET RIPPED OFF by them. From Incheon International Airport to Young Dong Hotel in a 'regular' taxi- white/grey colour should cost below 80,000WON (not 140,000WON that these scammers will charge you)

2. Bring an adaptor but if you forget, they may have one available to lend you from front desk

3. Bring a laptop with loads of stuff to keep you occupied for your recovery but if you forget or don't have one, front desk may also assist you by lending one out. Otherwise there are a few english TV channels but watching repeated movies can get annoying. You can access free wireless internet from Oz Clinic called 'iptime'

4. Although the Olympics were held in Seoul, not everybody speaks English. I brought 'Lonely Planet- Seoul' along with me. Or bring a translation book. Taxi Drivers sometimes found it easier to read the Korean Names of locations

5. Don't be scared to ask for extra pillows, crockery (for cereal)

6. Prepare yourself before hand. Buy some water and food before the surgery- after surgery walking may not be so easy. There is complementary 1 bottle of water per day from the hotel

Day 8 (Friday 26th June 2009)

Once again I awoke in pain and to the news that MJ passed. My leg was hurting all over. I have to go to the clinic today at 11am because of the pain. I had another IV. I didn’t eat lunch today, didn’t feel like it. Amy got me to walk to the TV room and stretched me. She held my leg in the air and stretched me. I screamed and cried, my left leg was hurting so much. Dr Park came in later and told me not to stretch anymore. I have to come back tomorrow again. I walked from end to end to get to the toilet. It was hard work! Mr Noh picked us up and dropped us off onto the level 3 area. It was a long passageway to the elevators and so many people were looking at us. My friend and I switched slippers because my feet were so sweat,y I couldn’t wear my thongs it was far too dangerous. When we got onto the 8th floor, I sat beside the elevator until my friend brought the wheelie chair over to me. It was all too much today.
