Do you think you would be able to walk normally sooner if you were allowed to weightbear sooner?

Personally, I don't think so. Rushing to walk may cause bones to not heal/shape appropriately and once it hardens, becomes a permanent issue worse than delaying a few months of not walking. I strictly followed my doctor's advices during recovery so I guess it takes as long as it takes. The bones have to heal sufficient enough to provide a foundation for the muscles to regain their strength.
Unrelated, there's a friend whose father suffered a car incident & injured his right tibia. He rushed to walk. Now his 2 legs are permanently unequal. And you can guess, the right leg is shorter.

Would you recommend me to do quadrilateral for 13cm? Im 159-160 cm currently.

No, likely too much. I'd say between 8-10cm, 2 segments. Lookup user "GodsGrace" he posted in my diary too. He was your height and he did well with 9.6 or 9.7cm. We met in-person at Paley's during lengthening.

I see. Do you think you could have done 13cm? Would have it been too difficult?
No, neither. I had numbness at the front of my right tibia at about 2week left of lengthening (to hit my goal). So I think pushing to 10cm would be difficult, let alone 13cm.

so, what will be the total time until you have unnoticable gait?

"unnoticable" could be judged by anyone. If by me, I'd say I'm unnoticeable now. So, with the amount of lengthening I did, about 4-5mo after stop lengthening. +3mo of lengthening without slow-down since the date they broke my legs. You're looking at 7-8mo in total.

that's wonderful, congrats bro.
Finally find someone who did the surgery that I am intended to take. Hi, I am also an Asian at 168cm. I am having a hard time choosing whether to do the 4 cm increase or the 4+4 type. Do you think you could obtain 90% athletic abilities when fully recovered? I still want to go climbing and the gym to keep a healthy body. What did you doctor talk about athletic abilities recovery. Will that be your concern?
