Quote from: Tall on January 22, 2014, 12:19:33 AMLol, 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.

You need to be sitting with your back straight on a flat surface and then measuring from that surface to the top of your head like you would standing, no slouching.

Hi All


Is the “Hydraulic Lengthening nail” completely internal? How does the clicking happen during  the distraction?

Hydraulic means liquid.  A pump injects liquid into the nail, causing internal pressure which makes it click.  It's internal except for a little tube that sticks out.

For those considering HLN,  note that Dr. Sarin is making his patients sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA) before he does anything.  This means the patients are not allowed to share the details of their medical experience with others.

Well this goes a long way to explain why we haven't heard from any HLN patients as of yet! Do you know why the NDA is being required? I understand that the nail is experimental with Dr. Sarin, but it's been used more extensively in Belgium. Is this just a precaution Dr. Sarin is taking to protect his reputation in the event that something goes seriously wrong? Is the agreement still binding once the patient has left India?

Why would a doctor require an NDA with patient?

On this link, he requires 20K USD upfront.

I am planning on having 5-6 centimetres starting in July/August this year with Dr Sarin.  I am discussion the option of HLN with him also.

I will keep you all briefed on what transpires.
