Installing height- Programdude's Precice 2 Internal femurs with Dr. Paley

So, just got back from West Palm Beach(home of the overairconditioned airport and incomprehensible taxi drivers) and had a consult with Dr. Paley who seemed confident I could lengthen 3 and a quarter inches.
Not officially scheduled as I type this, but likely locking it in on the 29th of this month!
I'm a male, 23 years old, good health.
I am currently 5 8(well, just shy of 5 8 according to Paleys office, just over it according to my one at home) so I will end at 5 11.
The surgery will cost 85k after IT band releases. Basically taking a no cutting corners approach, although I will try and live very conservatively once I'm out there.
I still need to decided exactly how I am going to tackle transportation. On one hand I would like my car there so I can drive around, but transporting it is just another expense and I do plan on traveling back a few times and wouldn't want to be carless.
Pretty crazy that I've actually moved forward this, still remember stumbling across this site a couple months ago. Any support is welcome, its gonna be a long/lonely/boring 3-4 months.

Good for you! I wish you a nice LL under the Florida sunshine!

Cool!  Good luck to you with your LL (although I'm sure you won't need it, going with a doctor like Paley.)

Awesome man. I kind of want to have a consultation with Dr Paley even though I can't afford him just so I can meet the guy. Wish you all the best.

Haha, well he is a cool guy but I wouldn't say that would be a good investment!

So, interestingly enough the date I wanted was snatched up, but the good news is one even sooner- the 22nd- was freed up! So I am locked in for that. Crazy to think in a months time I'll be taller.

I've made my deposit at this point so I'm totally locked in. Right now I mainly need to decide if I am having my car shipped down.
On one hand it would be nice to be able to get around if I wanted to see a movie/eat out etc etc. On the other hand a lot of my time will be spent just exercising at the hotel and they have a grocery service/buffet so I don't know how useful it would actually be seeing as it would be 1400 or so minimum for shipping both ways and I wouldn't have access to it when I came back home for brief visits, so I am currently leaning towards not having it.

Ok, had a pretty awful time confirming they received my down payment, but now that they confirmed its received I've paid the full amount. Damn, 85k just like that!
I am going to fly in on the 16th to get used to the place and stock up on things for the room.

did they tell you when you could book an appointment or did they say you had to wait until after your consultation? I called yesterday to see how far out i would have to book my surgery after my consultation and the lady said she didn't know until after my consultation. I need to know so I can plan things. Makes it difficult

I emailed with Paley initially. A consult is mandatory, however, he said it would be possible to arrange them both within a similar time frame so you wouldn't need to make multiple trips.

However, my advice is to be sure you get their medical clearance forms taken care of before hand to avoid any frustrations.

This is all a very tricky thing to juggle with so many components, so just make sure you have all your bases covered.
