It depends on your situation. But on an average rule here is of 1 mm per day until 4cm, 0.75mm per day for 5.5cm and 0.5mm for the rest 2cm. You can calculate the days as per this and also some extra days for rest.

It is important to be patient while lengthening so as to have a fast recovery post frame removal surgery.

See 80-90% post 7.5 cm lengthening would require approximately 8-9 months and 100% would require another 6 months for consolidation. But you can return back to your daily routine after 9 months with some precautions like not jumping, running etc

See I would suggest that at the end when you make a choice of doing LL you must make an informed decision and not based on just this or any forum. Meet your doctor, your physiotherapist and have a detailed discussion. So many people lie so many times, so you must be sure about your doctor and physio. Let them also evaluate you and meanwhile you too keep real-time expectations about LL. So many patients do so many silly mistakes which costs them so much. Next thing is get it done, achieve your goal and stay happy. 
Today I stood with my frames intact with the help of a walker. Most of my weight was on my shoulders with only 30-40% on my lower limbs. It was a great feeling.
