Do you have to stay near your doctor for the 3 months of lengthening?

Edit Post

I'm thinking about having my surgery done with Dr. Mahboubian.  I live on the east coast though, wanted to know if I could have my surgery with him then fly back home or if I need to stay on the west coast during my 3 months of lengthening for in person check ups/rehab and what not...because it would be easier for me if I could go back home right after my surgery...

Is it recommended to stay nearby your doctor for 3 months for check ups?  If I could go home after the surgery I would rather do that.  But if it's required or greatly beneficial to stay by your doctor for in person check ups, and rehab, ect, then I would stay the 3 months....anyone know?
