Hey everyone!

I'm seriously considering doing LL sometime in the next 1-3 years. Given that I live in Southern California, I will likely go with Dr. Shahab Mahboubian to undergo 5cm internal lengthening on my tibias. My question is this:

1. How long will it take before I can begin to have even assisted mobility? My job would allow me to move around with crutches no problem, so could I realistically expect to be back to work on crutches 2-3 weeks post-op? How long before I can drive again? 
2. What is a good estimate for "full" recovery. As in walking, jogging, non-comp athletics ready.

I'm currently 5'7" right now, and plan to go for a full height of 5'10/11" eventually. However I'd like to test the waters a bit first with my tibs. My primary goal is safety and recovery, followed by time commitment, and far behind both, cost.

Thanks all!
