Yes the Rod's are removed about 6month to 1.5 year after the lengthening is completed. I know guys that have never removed their rods. But can you imagine? Kind of like wolverine... Jamee
I couldn't wait to get mine removed, I had them in for a full year and a half.

I have heard a ton of things about Betz on these forums! Good and Bad. I know he has been doing this surgery for a long time now. I wonder what his success rate is... hmm

I think bad things about him came out just because he exaggerated adopted elongating amount.That sounds even like a daydream....
I am a Betz patient and am happy with the results so far. I’m in the consolidation phase now. While in Germany, I met some former Betz patients and they were both very happy with their results. I like Dr. Betz as a person and can recommend him.

Me also. It would be amazing if we could somehow build a consortium of verifiable info as it's just so hard to know what to believe with some doctors/diaries on this forum.
Hey! I’m 149cm female and interested in LL at 32! I don’t think u should do external method bcz that will be extremely painful. I will be choosing precise if I go for it as it comes in thin nails and can bear some weight if you’re thin & short. I weigh 49 kg & I think precise can handle upto 68 kg? So if you weigh less pick precise. I’m unmarried n worried my life may come to a still if I get LL & God forbid recovery takes long. Although bone formation at this age is fine & deteriorates after 50s.

Great - and congratulations on your decision! Are you considering femur or tibia? Just remember to eat healthy and exercise/stretch a lot before AND during lengthening - you'll do great!

Cheers friend!
Well I don't know about the precise weitght bearing, but you can message a doctor via email to make sure.
Well, it depends at your goal to be honest. But 20% of the total size of the bone is the max, usually. You can get only 8cm with one surgery and 8-16cm with two surgeries, but it depends at the lentgh pprogram you choose. Therés no rule for it. Beacause it mostly depends at your body conditions and health, if you're healthy and really flexible, the rehab should take less time. I would say that it takes 2 years to fully recover, trhough what I read.
But please, email doctors and ask them about it, emailing is free
Hope the other users come here to help!
Honestly, goals are one thing. Your suffering tolerance and function recovery is another. Lengthening past 6cm will feel quite different than the first 3cm. If your body says stop, then you should, or you will likely never return to normal functions without a follow-up surgery.
