If i lengthen 7cm, internal femurs, how long from day of surgery will it take for me to walk normally?

I am hoping to lengthen within 3 months, and then try to get back 95% of my normal gait by 5 months time. Is this unrealistic? The thing is i want to keep this hidden, and going away for more than 5 months will be very suspicious.

Just read up on diaries, one year post surgery is a bit extreme no?

Most people with WB nails at 6-7cm can walk 90-95% normally by 5-6months post surgery.

If i lengthen 7cm, at a height of already 175cm tall, with a weight bearing nail meaning i can mobilise straight away, given my flexibility already..between 5-6 months sounds realistic.

This is exactly the answer i hear too. 5-6 months post surgery - how much will you lengthen?
