That’s naive from Dr G then, I’m doing betzbone and using blood thinners for entire of lengthening and 1 month after.

Yes but as OP did gnail the 30 day thing applies, so it's unfair to say he didn't listen to the doctor.
It's difficult to say what would've contributed to the DVT. The doctor also prescribes blood thinners for 3 days when taking flights. OP was on a long flight which as we know is a major risk factor in developing blood clots, despite taking blood thinners.
I believe there are several other doctors like Guichet and some American ones who don't prescribe blood thinners after a few weeks for weight-bearing nails. They have to weigh up the cost-benefit ratio such as risk of internal bleeding amongst other things. The science is not absolute.
If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread. Redact any information that could be used to dox you.
How is the process going? Any update?
