Cool, were you with Dr Barinov? So you stayed 8 month for 5cm and after that you were fully healed? Were the frames weight-bearing, or at least partially weight-bearing so you could move around with a walker? I must admit being immobile for 8 months would be tough.
dr barinov - u should stay for all the time so the doctor can monitor you re any complications etc
just read your above post - the frames are fully weightbearing - you get used to them actually and 8 months is not long for the future benefits etc 
th - thanks for your replies dude. How did you spend your 8 months in Russia? You stayed at a hotel near the clinic and checked in daily? How long after the surgery were you able to walk around? So after the 8months, you had the frames removed and you could pretty much walk as normal, 5cm taller? Btw I heard Barinov's clinic is full of Russian babes, did you make any friends? 
first 3 months in yhe hospital, was good fun etc doctors visited daily - 1 month in clinic paid for the month next 4 months in nearby hotel buffet breakfast, gym in basement, was ideal - paid every 3 or 4 weeks, english spesking staff so was great - got to know the city v well, found 2 pool halls and played there most days, good for walking etc! - cafes, a couple of bars and local sites - pretty girls in clinic but could be a bit suffocating after a while so i preferred to venture out and then move out - visited regularly for check-ups and catch-ups! had great time, embraced it and wish i did femurs after!! but had to return home...
for tibias i think russian external is the safest and best -good prices tooooo
you can walk without crutches after a while maybe 3 months after surgery, i was runninb in london about 1 year after 1 year - i got back to full fitness faster times etc - it lessened my height neurosis but didn't cure it -
In total,how much did you pay ? How was the everyday life ? Could you like work on your computer everyday,how was sleep and quality of life in general ?
You did tibias right ? How much cm and whats was your starting height ?
Cheers
