PreciceMax...why wait? You could've already been taller years ago.

Just a question for people who are putting this off due to the delay of the PreciceMax nail.  Why are you waiting?  The new nail has been getting delayed since 2020, and the goalposts keep getting moved on a regular basis.  Anyone who has been waiting for this, could have done the Precice nail, and been enjoying their new height for 3.5 years now (at the time of this posting).  They will promise the Max to be out soon, then 6 months, then a year, then 2 years, and so on...and all this time you could have already been done and moving forward in life with a new and improved height.  Every year people put off CLL in hopes of the Max nail, is one more year that you could've enjoyed with your new height and have CLL in the distant past.  Just wondering.

If being in a wheelchair for 3.5 months or on a walker is too much then ll isn’t the sacrifice you should commit to.

Cause full weightbearing would make a huge difference for me, and I want to minimize risk and the physical and psychological impact as much as possible. I wanna be taller but not THAT much, I can wait.

I don't mind waiting because I want to be able to have proper weight-bearing so I can maximize PT as much as possible and get back to some degree of normal gait as soon as possible as well.

At least one should be prepared for longer recovery and complications if one gets unlucky. Other than that I disagree. If there is a way to do it without wheelchair, why should one be committed to doing it with a wheelchair? Everything progresses. There was a time you needed to be committed to bearing the pain and trauma of surgery with nothing to numb you but getting completely drunk. Obviously then you could say if that's not the sacrifice you're willing to make you should not get any surgery ever. That's not true today tho. Same with the Ilizarov device for LL. If one isn't committed to wearing the old bulky thing and having infections in your legs, then LL isn't for you? Obviously we are past that. Next will be the weight bearing nails being the norm, not the exception.

Time is of the essence with ll. You have a finite time on this earth. If you are going to do ll you need to maximize your time with your new height. If illizarov was the only method available then you do that. There is currently no weight bearing nail available in the US so if you are serious about ll you will do precice 2.2.

i cant imagine doing precice 2.2 alone. being alone in ur room doing everything by urself in a wheel chair. u probably need an asisstance like a caregiver of some kind. doing it in turkey is so convenient u dont even know.
