This is why I love this forum. Serious and worthy discussions for most part, but every now and then somebody sneaks in a troll here n' there. Absolutely brilliant. 
Quote from: tinytim on January 20, 2017, 03:16:49 AM6feetsoon anyway you know the grand total of your colleague with insurance? I am definitely leaning towards Dr Rozbruch and I am only a few hours away. One thing, what don't you like about your starting height cause that would be my ending height?
A little over 90k.
As for my starting height.. sure 5'9 is perfectly average. But we all know that height dysphoria is relative, not absolute.
Life is pretty great, at least now i can move from face modeling to apparel modeling. (Of course thats not the ultimate reason, but an additional perk)

So were there any non internal reasons for it? My post LL height will also be your height (maybe half an inch more). Like, were you called short, got refused by women etc?

Nah, no issues with women or people in general. But I just felt shorter when all your male model colleagues are 5'11-6'1

I am sorry but this plug is shameless. Are you a staff member or the doctor himself? It seems this type of self promotion has been going on for a long time with this doctor: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150409443&pagenumber=4 ...scroll down and you can see that the Dr himself was posting and luring. And why would anyone not go to Rozburch in US for only $35k more?! If you are a REAL patient as you say, why do you feel the need to spam this site with promotions? Do you get paid or a discount, because I have seen similar post by you on other diaries.

All I want to do is help other potential patients who want to go through the procedure.
For most of the potential LL candidates it is a considerable expenses. For that reason there are still people, I would actually expect the majority of patients, who are doing lengthening with an external device!
On the issue: I have done a lot of research before deciding on the procedure and it was clear I was going to do internal and I was doing it in North American or Western Europe. Thus the options were:
Rozbruch, New York
Paley, West Palm Beach
Baumgart, Munich
Guichet, London or Milan
Betz, Frankfurt
Monegal, Barcelona
There was a lot of contradictory and unreliable information our there. But I could not find a clear indication that Rozbruch and Paley, who are most expensive, were better than Baumgart, Guichet or Betz, or that those were better than Monegal, who was least expensive. So I admit, that the decision between the above doctors was mainly based on price.
However, I have also talked to rich US patients here, that say they did not decide on Monegal because of the price, but because of the expected quality as well as the higher anonimity being outside the US.
I am using my time for the benefit of all of you and seem to receive only "negativity" in return. :-(
So I won't be posting here anymore.

One of the worst option you can get in europe.

If you can't take any negative criticism(which limits the discussion btw) then well... good riddance.
Just an update. Surgery scheduled for March 20th at 11am. Sorta weird to think about the exact time at which you're legs are essentially broken.
-Spinal epidural rather than general anesthesia
-3.5 hour procedure at HSS, 2-3 nights in-patient care.
-ITB release as well as rod insertion
-lengthening will begin on day 4
-4x a day for the first week, then 3x a day after that (1mm per day)
-no formal PT, just the exercises Rozbruch wants me to perform daily
That is awesome man! Did you get final cost numbers from insurance? Also how much did consultation cost?

350 for the consultation.
I don't know final numbers from insurance because fees haven't been submitted to them yet.
Congrats man! Please keep this experience updated throughout lengthening and after. Don't just fade away on us.
Will you be awake during surgery since they use spinal anesthesia? That's pretty bad ass if you are!
I like the no formal PT with Rozbruch. I think formal PT is overrated when it comes to internal femur lengthening. As long as you are sincerely doing the exercises every single day, multiple times a day, on your own. That's one of the reasons I switched away from Dr. Guichet. His whole pre op and post op training with professional trainers is a waste of money in my opinion.
I'm with tinytim on being very anxious to know the final cost numbers from your insurance. Good for Dr. Rozbruch in getting some of these costs to be covered by insurance companies. We already pay an insane amount for health insurance and then they try to reject every claim they can. Its about time they started to pay up!
