Quote from: MadDogs on January 30, 2023, 10:52:00 PMI think it's covered beyond the 3 months. There was a guy here for nearly 10 months and I don't think he was charged extra. I can always ask though 
Dr G recommended Assayag because she knew I was relatively close to Baltimore. She mentioned that it would be better to be close. And I agree because I was able to drive here and bring large things I could never take on a flight. Also both of them have worked closely, and I'm thinking they recommend patients to each other according to where one is located.
Got it, them working together definitely makes sense. Staying close is amazing, glad you reap the benefits!
Assuming his website is updated - https://www.heightrx.com/limb-lengthening/ it looks like the visits are covered for the first 3 months but no limit on the x-rays which is kinda interesting. The reason I brought it up is that I've seen most/all other doctors limit both to 3 months 
Precise Femurs with Assayag Nov 2022
Hello can you give us an update?
How long did it take to schedule your operation from the time of consultation? I'm highly considering Dr. Assayag
Scheduling was quick. From the moment I contacted Assayag, we picked a day to meet about 2 weeks off. From there we scheduled a surgery date. I chose to do it 3 months out so that I could work a little more and save.
It's been a long time since I've updated, but I am glad to say that I am done distracting. I stopped at 7.35cm because I was close enough to 3 inches that I really didn't care for the rest. My legs began hurting around 7cm and the pain was getting worse. Slowing down helped and taking a few days off was my only relief. I also stopped because I began to feel duck ass forming. I so far only have bad hamstring flexibility, so I didn't want to deal with severe tightness in other areas.
I am happy to stop, and so happy to never have to look at that erc machine again. I've been very fortunate to have great bone growth, and I was able to stand immediately after stopping distraction. So far I'm the only one that has been able to do this of the 4 patients that I've met that have finished distraction. I have my next meeting with the doc in a month, and we both feel very optimistic of being able to walk by then.
However, as great news as this is for me, this has not been the case for most patients. It seems I am the exception. So understand that this in no way means you'll have the same experience.
To update, I didn't overconsume food. I ate around 1500 calories a day. My weight had stabilized a while back, and even in this slight deficit I was able to have phenomenal bone growth. I attribute a lot of it to the exercise bike. I went hard on it almost every day. I would swet and push through the pain. After 15 to 20 minutes my legs were red and slightly swollen. I believe that this inflammation helped a lot.
I will try to keep an eye on the forum, but I tend to forget it exists sometimes lol

It seems to be a common theme that people who bike regularly do the best. Im doing well already but going to put in more bike time this month.
So I'm now at month 4, and it does stop being free after 3 months. However the visit is only $75 so it doesn't break the bank.
