I am sad to announce I cancelled my trip to Pretoria. I even bought the ticket, but, unfortunately with current work load there is no way I can bet out of states for more than a week. With that constraint of time, contemplated for long time, had many sleepless nights and finally came to conclusion this is not possible for me. I was not happy to call this off. Was looking forward to meet Dr. Birkholtz's team and enjoyable stay in Natanja guest house.
I know many of you are deeply interested on my diary under the care of Dr. B. I will not able to deliver but I have done tremendous research on South Africa, Netcare hospitals and on Dr. B. Spend countless hours to make sure I was making the informed decision when I initially picked him. If any of guys are interested I am happy to share with you, just PM me. If you guys insist happy to upload the information here.
On the bright note- my dream of LL is still alive and I will be going under knife this June with Dr. Paley. I am doing consultation end of this month and surgery on June 11 (Big Day). I have to come up with additional $40K to accommodate this change. I was not ready to spend that sort of money but I have to do what make sense with my situation. I have lot of responsibility and cannot turn away.
I sincerely apologize to Dr. Birkholtz (please forgive me) for his time and the member of this forum for not able to provide the highly anticipated diary. I am also hoping RisingShorty will pick up the slack. I am very thankful to Dr. B for his time, informative email and truly enjoyed talking with him on Skype.
Again, truly sorry and I hope you all will understand!
P.S-
Dameon, can you please add (Incomplete) to the title of this diary.Though incomplete, this diary has some valuable info for posterity.
Hey Cooper,
No worries man. Primarily CLL should make your life better, not worse.
If it ends up resulting in you losing your business, it is not worth it.
Good luck and I am looking forward to seeing how your journey evolves!
Cooper Precise Femur Journey with Dr. Birkholtz (Incomplete)
Hey Cooper now that you are going with Dr Paley have your lengthening goals changed at all
as he seems to offer a little more leeway in how much he will allow than Dr B.
Noticed on my time off work thread mentioning 7.5cm?
I think either Dr would be a good option and you can't go wrong with Paley as he is considered
the top cosmetic LL surgeon.
Would be amazing if you could share your research.
Looking forward to hearing your journey.
Yeah man, please share your research.
And then there was one, no need to apologies for anything. You got to do what you got to do and make changes according to the situation.
And yes please to sharing the information on this thread if you dont mind.
Also curious along with the others on here about your goals now that you are going with Dr Paley, considering he lets you lengthen more than Dr B, has your goal in terms of cm gains increased now?

My plan always been lengthen maximum as my body allows me to. If I get the full 8cm which I doubt it than I might never have to think about CLL any more. I just need to rid of this height neurosis which is sitting on my brain for long time. Leechlet posted on old forum he does not think of height anymore and feels normal walking at 5 feet 6 inches....will see.
Check out below youtube videos....one of the best one!
