antoky:
I don't understand how much you want to lengthen.

and how did you come to that value.. it seems a little precise to be honest.

are you saying 4.8cm to 5cm? why not just shoot for 5cm? there wont be any difference.

ps. when you start your diary is up to you. but I personally believe that a diary should not be started more than 4 weeks before your surgery and journey.

QuoteI don't know if this has been asked thousand times by now I would expect so but I haven't found anything so take mercy if my questions ignorant. Is anybody able to go to these doctors without having all the funds available? Has anyone gotten any type of cosmetic loans or otherwise? What's out there as far as financing surgery by these docs
I think medium drink of water is the best to answer this question on finance. as he did this personally. this question was answered in his thread where he goes through the chapters of his LL journey in china.

If you are going to spend $80k, I'd go for about 7.5 cm. You might as well get your money's worth.

Yes, I agree: 4.8 or 5 isn't different and it will depend about the way I will feel in the fire of the experience (of lengthening)...I need to come back to my job at the 1st of February 15, after a long 60 days off...

Some other dude wants me to start right now a diary, with all the psychological side of getting ready for Guichet's internal saw Anyone doing LL with Guichet in the next few months?...I must ponder when to start my diary so..
Cheers.

Can anyone tell me how you can prepare yourself for LL? What sort of training must you do? Do you have to work out? Become flexible? Train your legs? Etc...

Thanks.

Dr. Guichet puts you on a crazy strength and flexibility program beforehand; he'll brief you at your consultation.

if the work is sedentary you will be just fine I guess and yeah if there are no complications you may make it on time. Too much risk but its worth taken, also there is the PT programm...

I live in Italy  so all so far are those of italian hospitals in Milan, which Guichet himself would recommend in his oper-list he would provide you with during his first consultation: as per now, I made 2 Cybex tests (660 €), one bone DEXA (350) and one Rx (180) and one psychological evaluation (300). I am to do a cardiovascular and a dentist evaluation and pre-operation blood tests. I will talk about operation cost itself and post-op training costs when I will know about them exactly (it will be around 50.000)..

Cheers.
