Say I want to do the Stryde Method in Greece, Turkey or Germany. I have an office job, family and a few friends, and I really dont want anyone at all to find out. Could I for example stay in Greece for a month, tell people I was on vacation, and then come back and act like I just went there for the beaches and the food?

There's already so much information regarding this that's already been posted on the site. Go check the diaries. No need to make a new thread.

if you re a software guy you can probably work from home. thats a big plus.  How long do you have to be away from society if planning on doing this surgery?
home office means you can return in a couple weeks after surgery back home and keep lenghtening there.
you send some scans to the doc from time to time.
if you have to move muscle to make a living thats a big minus. recovery can be very long from LL. some people have knee pain years after LL. so think twice what you do with your life

I gave myself six months. That time is about to expire (have an event that I need to attend soon) but I don't think I'm ready yet. I'd give it 8-9 months just to be safe. If you recover sooner you can always meet people earlier.

Whats delaying your recovery, or whats delaying you most from going back to the "real world" right now? Is it pain, looks funky when you walk? And could I ask how many cm you did

You think 6 months would be enough to return to normal life if only doing 5 cm?

noone can give you a defnite number... it is different from case to case. LL is a major surgery

Normal life is a relative thing. If you do a desk job then you'll be sitting on a chair whole day and maybe take an uber in the morning and evening or drive. I think you can recover to do all this in 6 months maybe less with stryde.
