Pain is between 1 and 2 out of 10 holding steady. Lengthening going well, will have a check up with Dr Rozbruch next Wednesday. Not much more to report, sometimes i forget i had the surgery and try to stand on my own before i catch myself haha. That's how little i feel it.
Are you using crutches or walker?

Walker and wheelchair

try to keep your walker quite height to work on your posture. I had it too low and got a duck ass even though i was doing tibias.

hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum. notable milestone i guess..
6feet, if you're reading this, wsup, sorry for both private messaging you and writing here. i just don't know which of the two would be better for reaching you. will of course not bother with both messages and posts once i figure out which line of communication you prefer. just on a kind of high right now from learning that something has fallen into place that will make my lengthening a lot easier and more doable, although i've been on track to do it in january of 2018 for a few months now. so i couldn't resist posting and messaging u

so, i'm torn between rozbruch and paley. if rozbruch offers an essentially painless experience as you're saying, 6feet, and 8 cm is realistic for me, and i pass the psych eval and everything else... he's the one for me. the pain experienced by paley patients sounds seriously challenging.

as people have pointed out, no one's really journaled about rozbruch. he might be definitively the best ever (if you're lucky enough to not have to worry about money, which is a position i'm incredibly grateful, if undeserving lol, to be in)

anyway, i don't know the conventions of the forum cause i'm new, so feel free to   on me if i've fked up, but be goodhearted at your core and please try to help me understand the differences betweeen paley and rozbruch so that i can make the right call.

i'll hear from anyone i guess but to u, 6ft, hope you're doing well, your journal has been heartening

There's no gaurantee with either that you will be pain free., low pain. We will all react differently from this surgery but a doctor's skill will play a part. You are more likely to have a smoother journey with paley or rozbruch than say a quack doctor from India. Although this user Morriset went to Sarin a Indian doctor who is infamous for bad results and he said he was able to gain 8 cm without big complicatons but his age was 19 which could be a reason he was able to lengthen pain free and quickly.

Even if it's not totally pain free it's still much better than it used to be. Rozbruch is maybe the best one today. I think my biggest challenge now is to decide if I'll tell the truth to everyone one or not. I will do one leg at a time, so I'll bee irking while lengthening. For instance, If you are fat and have a stomach surgery you just tell the truth. My brother in law did it 10 years ago and in the beginning I honestly found it weird. Today he ishappy an everyone forgot about it. Why It should be different with LL?

totally, and that's why i'm certainly going with either paley or rozbruch. what i'm trying to get clarified now are the critical differences between them, which is ultimately the better call. i'm most curious about 6feet's saying the experience has been basically painless and if that's emblematic of most rozbruch patients, cause that's in stark contrast to paley's patients reaching level 10 pain, even if they come out of it eventually. additionally, paley doesn't require guichet-level pre-op physical therapy, but his in-house physical therapy team is a big part of it... whereas it seems like all rozbruch asks is that you do some stretches on your own. if rozbruch is basically pain-free and u don't have to do grueling physical therapy but come out like full weight bearing 4-5 months after surgery... that's incredible, and better than what paley offers, right? i'm a little incredulous that rozbruch is so ideal but if he's really that good, he's certainly my top choice. so yeah i'm curious what you all think about paley v rozbruch

right, i mean what's considered abnormal vs normal, that shifts over time, and in a kind of superficial, arbitrary way. sucks. but, you should just do whatever is safe and that you're comfortable with. i know it's easier said than done cause we're inculcated to follow social  norms. hopefully u have a good support system of family and friends. if that's the case, you needn't be worried about telling them. personally, i'd rather confine the news to my family, but i think that's great that people would be more forthcoming about it. i just want it to be a new part of me and move on in a sense, but there are tons of different approaches

I have been talking to Rozbruch for more than a year now. He always mentioned that pain is not the problem. I also talked to one of his patients and the feedback is the same as 6fs: excellent doctor, very responsive and  low pain  especially if taking the pain killers as prescribed for 2to 4 weeks. I have the clearance to do the surgery but different from 6fs my insurance didn't approve it, so I'll pay it from my pocket.
