I'd try not to give it too much thought at this stage Microman, you're on the right path now. Going ahead with the surgery was the biggest decision you've had to make and that's all behind you now 
Plus, you're definitely in good hands over there.
ye he had internal but the factory doesn't make it any more or the second batch failed his internal testing.
its external monorail only from him.
btw half the reason i avoid external femur with mitkovic is because id be happy with my height, the other half is that id only get about 4cm out of it anyway due to wingspan, so don't let any of that put you off doing monorail femur if your situation is somewhat different from mine.
i would say for femur its likely that 5.5cm would be the maxiumum gain, if you want more go with guinchet or something.
Great to hear you've started your LL journey microman! Hope the pains not too bad from here on. Looking forward to your insight and pictures later on. Did the Dr ever mention how the fibula was going to be lengthened since I know the device doesn't touch it.

theres a screw that is fixed through the bottom of the fibula into the tibia..
Good to know, I've been wondering about that thanks man.
I have heard that some will lose a few millimeters after lengthening aren't you scared of finishing with 4.80? Today I asked Dr.Fahkri at the clinic about shrinking he said if i do 171 I may be 170 in some years.

I for one am going to go an extra 2mm just to be safe (in 2 years) 
Can you record yourself when you lengthening?
