Does Dr. Sarin offer externals only? His internal rods have a 60kg weight limit. I am around 70kg and athletic/fit. I have a 96+ CM sitting height (built somewhat like an orangutan, but far sexier  Dr Amar Sarin ( New Delhi, India) ), so a lot of my weight is from my torso and shoulders, which naturally weigh a lot more than my legs. This means that I won't be able to drop to 60kg, since I don't have much fat at all currently. Does this mean that I wouldn't be able to bear weight at all while lengthening? If not, what's the point of destroying my knees to get an IM rod implanted?

Also, does anyone know the weight-bearing limit for the HLN?
What do you all think would be the best tibia lengthening option for someone in my situation?

This is an LL forum. Is it not obvious that I by patients I was referring to LL Patients?

I find it suspicious that none of the current LL patients are start diaries when we have 4 or more patients that did surgery with him last year still positing even post frame removal.

Whats really stoping these guys from starting diaries?...I am pretty sure they are aware of this forum so its not like they r scared Syop will ban them ...lol

While Dr. Sarin does offer external-only, the weight-bearing limit is for unassisted walking; i.e. without crutches. If you want to do externals, there are cheaper options like Dr. Murthy:

http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=253.0

Dr. Sarin only charges $10,000 because he knows western patients will pay it, but that's actually a lot of money in India. Murthy charges $3,800 USD – $4,300 USD.

We have no diaries from this doctor yet and Dr. Sarin has had his fair share of negative feedback, so choose at your own risk.

The things I get to read at these forums........  Dr Amar Sarin ( New Delhi, India)

You are not out of proportion and that was the worse excuse I've heard so far just bc you fail to lose weight.

You don't need to push yourself. If you do LL you will lose weight anyway so it will be no problem walking.
When you start walking your muscles are too weak and you'll need crutches.

Dude, how does this make any sense? Sorry, but I really don't understand your point. I'm shorter than you are and have 3-4 CM more of sitting height because 96 CM is being a bit conservative. It's actually a hair over 38 inches, but I rounded down to 96 CM. You said yourself that you sit at 93 CM. How am I just as proportional as you? And I run 5 kilometers almost daily and eat healthy.  I really don't think I can lose much more weight. Maybe from muscle loss, but I hope that's not the case, and I don't think it will cause me to lose 10kg.

You measured wrong.

Show us a photo and I can easily tell.
So far everyone has been wrong claiming they have weird proportions. It would be nice if you are the first example. That's why I doubt it.

I know you believe in it so strong that it seems impossible for you to lose weight but it depends on your nutrition.
If your body fat is 8-9% then sure, it's a little bit more difficult but doable.
You will lose 5-7kg when doing LL.

Lol, Mr. Tasmanian Devil, I agree with you that I am already proportionate. But I do want to get taller and believe that my 96 CM will help me to still look normal after LL. I measured it by sitting under a stadiometer and measuring my sitting height just as I measure my standing height. I was sitting erect. Was I supposed to slouch? If you'd like I can post a picture, but it may take me a while because I use my phone to access these forums and can't upload from my phone.
