Hello LL Forum,

  I am scheduled for a Femoral Limb Lengthening with Dr. Paley on September 26th, 2017. I am currently 5'5.5 (166 cm). I'm hoping to get an 8 cm increase. I'll update this diary as I progress through this. If anyone has any questions, feel free to post here.

Thank you for sharing and the best of luck with your surgery.  Please keep us posted.  Would love to hear about your journey.

What is your age?  Why did you choose Dr. Paley vs. other US doctors?

Thank you.    All the best!

Thank you very much! I am 26. I chose Paley because he is the most experienced. I'm actually family friends with Dr. Mangal Parihar (who I believe trained with Paley as well) but since I live/work in the U.S, I thought that it would be more convenient to have it done here in Florida with Paley. Nothing against other doctors

Thanks for your response.  Perfect age to do it at in my opinion.  Wishing you well.  Keep us posted.  You're just a couple of weeks away!

You're in skilled hands obviously.  Hopefully all goes smooth and without any setbacks.

Thanks for the wishes! I chose femurs because its cheaper/less risky vs tibias. I decided to go with it because I have finally have the money (fully self funded with no outside financial help) and I think the benefits outweigh the risks. I'll keep everyone updated.

Will you be getting PRECICE 2.2? Will you be staying at the hotels near the hospital?

Best of luck on your journey, you are in great hands.
