That being said, and combined with other reading I have done, I think I'll settle for 7 cm on my tibias. Then, I'll do about 8 cm on my femurs, as the femurs have a higher tolerance for lengthening.
I actually do have a very large upper body with broad shoulders. I have a shoulder breadth of 23 inches and a 21-22 inch torso length (average for the American male is 18 inches). If proportions were a problem, I don't think I'll be too bad off.

Is that sarcasm?
Anyways, I don't think I'd go for 10 cm on the tibias, anyways. Even with internals, that is simply too long of a wait to return to heavy free-weights, cycling, and calisthenics. I'll opt for 7 cm on the tibias; I think that is a safe and manageable goal for a doctor like Guichet.
do you have the money atleast, because paley+guichet=100 000-120 000 dollars i wonder who
can afford two surgeries with both.

Exactly, Guichet is expensive, Paley is just a complete rip off/robbery if anything.
Guichet's price all up with be close to $100,000, if not over. $65,000 for Guichet is the bare minimum and simply not enough, and dont forget his jaw dropping $10,000 for nail removal

I think the 100k figure was derived from peoples experience. does anyone remember which diary outlines the price.
either way as much as I love LL I could never justify the price of a house to get surgery.
think about it. in life all you really need to ever do is buy a house and then you can retire to part time work for the rest of your life.
why would you spend that money on LL surgery instead of retire for the rest of your life. it never made sense to me. doing a 9-5 job like a slave to pay a mortgage to a bank for the rest of your life. I will never understand paying that much for surgery when you don't have to.
instead I will own my own home and get a cheap external surgery, while others can not own a home and pay all that money to the surgery. and in the end the only difference will be the way we both got taller. even if I could afford a home and LL, I would rather buy a second home with that money because the doctor prices are just rip offs.
my motto is why pay a boat load of money for no reason.
I think guichet and paley should be considered if you want to add more than 6 cm in each segment, but if you only consider 3-6 cm, you should opt for a cheaper doctor (like the russian ones for example)
