Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any tips about saving for limb lengthening surgery. My doctor of choice is Dr. Paley, but the prices that I am seeing, it seems like such a leap to get to the level that he charges for just one surgery alone(I am looking at doing both femurs the first year and the following year, tibias). STRYDE since Precice 2.2 is no longer available for surgery with him. After hearing countless stories of things going terribly wrong overseas and for concern of my own health and safety, going out of the states is not something I am willing to consider and Paley is far closer to me in terms of geographical location and makes more sense to have a doctor within a short flight away or long car ride. So it leaves me questions on how to save the money. Would it be easier to save all the money at once or do one at a time? Should I consider taking out a loan for the surgery instead ? Any advice.

Thanks

Thanks ya'll for the comments and advice. I was just trying to find a way to have LL before I turn 30. I find that right now, age is on my side and I think I would be able to recover from this a lot sooner than if I wait later. I may find myself taking out a loan or trying to negotiate a slightly lower price point with Paley if possible. I am just trying to get to an average height and I am just trying to do whatever I can to get to it.
