How long do you have to be away from society if planning on doing this surgery?

MakeMeTallAF is that your plan? Sound pretty similar to mine

Yeah I only want 5 cm, stryde femurs for best recovery.

It seems most people who do femurs tend to do 7-8 cm so there isn't much on the recovery timeline for 5 cm.

I live a normal life, I just can’t see any friends or family because there’s something obviously wrong with my walk and I don’t want that to be the first thing everyone sees when they look at me.

Quote from: MakeMeTallAF on May 15, 2021, 03:05:11 AMYou think 6 months would be enough to return to normal life if only doing 5 cm?

Most of people who did 5-6 cm with  Stryde Nail had an almost normal gait 4 months after surgery. Just tell your friends/relatives that you will do an internship in another city

Almost normal isn't normal. I have better gait than either of these videos and everyone I've talked to recently has noticed that I "have a limp".

Like it's good enough that people won't think something major happened, but it's not good enough that no one will ask about it.
