I'm doing pretty well thanks your concern and sorry for the late update.

Quote from: MarioQ on October 04, 2017, 01:33:37 AMHi Puru. I'm worried about you. No updates since the 1st. Are you doing ok?

I'm doing fine my friend, I'm really sorry for the slow updates.

Quote from: InferiorityComplex on October 03, 2017, 01:10:42 AMHey going trough all forum posts and reading about complications above 6 - wouldn't it be better to stop at 6 also taking into account that you were 2 cm taller when measuring...

Yeah probably. I wouldn't mind stopping at 5 cm either. I'm going to go for the full 8 though unless Paley recommends otherwise.

Thanks for your wishes buddy, sorry I couldn't reply to you sooner. I think the price is worth it, considering that it's not just Paley, but his entire team. You have anesthesiologists, OPTs, nurses,etc. Every one of them was very meticulous and concerned about me.

Hello Puru. Are you Doing ok?. Please post an update

Hi Puru, would you mind telling us the amount that you budgeted for the entire surgery and the breakdown (surgery, PT, hotel, food, months, etc.). Also how was pain level the first few days and how did you get through that. All the best!

My update from the last few days:

September 25

I had my preop and pre admission testing schedulesd today. In the morning I realized that I stupidly forgot to book a wheelchair accessible hotel for my stay. I asked my hotel if they had any left for me dates and unfortunately they did not. Luckily their sister property (Homewood Suites) had them for about 90/day, which given the last minute booking was not too bad.


Hey, is 90/day including taxes? And is this the cheapest room available? I know DoingItForMe got a room in Homewood Suites for 70/day + taxes, that's why I'm asking

Hello Puru. Andy update?. Un planning to do LL next year with Paley and it would be interesting know how the latest Precise 2 is doing.  Hope you are OK

Sorry for the late reply. I was off this forum and mostly focused on doing therapy. Update on my next post.

I stopped lengthening at 65 mm yesterday. The pain is completely gone. My legs feel like nothing happened except for the loss of flexibility and inability to weight bear. The doctor gave me the go ahead to continue lengthening but I decided to stop because I have reached my goal height (5'9").

I'm going to continue another week of physical therapy and then fly back home.

Yeah including taxes. Not the cheapest. I needed a suite with 2 beds that was handicap accessible because my parents were also staying. Having a living room helped because my parents weee working remotely. Apparently winter is peak season. I also booked on the day of.

$90 x 70 for the hotel.
$1800 x 4 for my loan payments
$600 x 2 for food.

My parents were staying with me so they bought the groceries. I'm going to reimburse their expenses once I get a job.

The surgery itself was $90k
