Hey everyone,
I’m planning on doing the surgery in June with Dr. D. I’ll be doing stryde, 3 inches on my femurs.
Anyone else planning on being there the same time?
Awesome! I’ll be going by myself. Is anyone coming with you?
I’m from the west coast so he seemed like the best option for me.
Thanks InFullStryde! I definitely plan to keep a diary.
Prices are on his website: http://www.limbplastx.com/limb-lengthening-costs.html. Around 75k

Good luck for your journey!!! I just have one question. Do you need to stay nearby hospital during lengthening for PT like most of patients? Or is it possible to go back home and do lengthening and PT on your own like InFullStryde?
Thanks,
I'll probably be staying nearby. I just had my video consult and this guy is the real deal. He made me feel very comfortable and I am confident in his knowledge. Paley is a great option as well, but Dr. D is much more closer to me. I'm excited to start my journey in June!

Quote from: wannagrowtaller on March 30, 2019, 01:33:07 PMYou have the option of Dr. Mahboubian of North Hollywood even closer to your home.
I do, but I feel much more comfortable with Dr. D and his training.
Quote from: Movie on April 03, 2019, 03:31:15 AMhis training? I tried doing research on the guy and nobody has done surgery with him on this forum yet... Mahboubian has had a good amount of successful diaries. Dr. D Is cheaper though
He's had several Stryde surgeries, one who posted in this forum and I actually had a convo with. He did his first surgery 6/2018.

Yes, Dr. D is my doctor. You're right, it was a bit unsettling to not find a single diary of his. I had a great video consult and he encouraged me to contact some of his past patients who (I'm assuming) aren't part of this forum. I didn't take him up on that since I was pretty sold on him from the consult. Although I can't find any information about his LL clients on here he does have an excellent reputation for back/other surgeries he's performed. But in some way I feel like a guinea pig in that I know my experience is going to impact others' decisions.
Dr. D is the closest LL doctor to my home state of Texas. Flights are dirt cheap between my home airport and Vegas. I'm planning to spend the first 3 weeks in Vegas before doing the distraction process at home. He wants me to fly back every 2-3 weeks. I contacted Dr. M in LA, Dr. Paley, and Dr. D. and out of the three Dr. D was the most responsive, the most open about the process, and the most flexible. Even if it wasn't for the cheaper cost than the other two docs, I'd still strongly consider going with Dr. D. for those reasons alone.
I hope I don't get him in trouble for saying this, but one interesting thing he mentioned was that a documentary crew from BBC was interested in filming a documentary about LL patients. Sort of like an MTV "True Life" thing. I'm not brave enough for that (sorry guys!) but I took it as a good sign that he was confident enough in what he does to consider allowing a film crew to document the process.
Mailing off the $15,000 deposit today. There's no turning back now!
Awesome man! I'm sending my 15k in as well. Surgery date 6/14. Incredibly nervous about this process (mostly the pain), but I am looking forward to my new height. I'll also keep a detailed diary on my experience for everyone.
