Hi Guys !

I am going to start my LL journey with Dr Paley. My surgery is scheduled in couple of days , internal femurs, and well lets say i am anxiously excited to get this done .

Will be happy to receive help, suggestions, advices, and will keep you guys updated with a real me , ups and downs, during the course of lengthening , to help future LL'ers in any way I can.

Currently staying in a hotel, but have emailed 7-8 home owners for short term 3 month rentals, for a villa with pool , or condo overlooking ocean, as if i can find a right place to stay, everything else will be so much better. Any suggestions for me ?

Good luck man, how much are you lengthening, and who are you hiring or who will be with you to provide help? I heard it's almost necessary during the first 2-3 weeks but after that you should be fine.

Welcome, looking forward to updates on your journey.

As for accommodation, have you looked into Airbnb?

I am aiming at north of 7.5 , just to make sure i gain3 inches. However, not stuck on numbers. Will see how it goes, if it is all smooth, may gun for 8 too.

I am going to hire a nurse for first 15-18 days to assist me with moving around and stuff .

Airbnb is too popular now and don't have stays for entire 3 months . All booked.
However, I have figured out couple of places , heading there to check them out now.
Seems amazing in pictures though. This city has some extravagant living.

Thanks Man !
Yes wanted to do with somebody who's an expert. By the way before finalizing Dr Palay, I went to Italy and South Africa too, and then decided to stick to somebody who does this day in and day out and is a PRO in it like big time.
Hopefully , it should be a smooth sail. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Congratulations Mrworldwide!   What is your age and current height ?

As CaptainAmerica says above it is necessary to have someone for the first three weeks.

I am in week 3 of my bilateral femur lengthening in Los Angeles with Dr Mahboubian.  The surgery isn't that bad but it's the little things that seem to go unconsidered that you should definitely not underestimate.  Everyone is a little different but you'll defining need someone with you the first few weeks if living alone.  One person to help will be ok most of the day, but 2 people is ideal for moving to the restroom and such.

Wishing you well.  7.5 CMs is awesome!

Thank You Brother !
Wish you a great recovery too. How many cms are you aiming at ?
I am 65 Kgs, and i am getting the biggest nail available with Precise, which can weigtbear around 70 Kgs. Having said that Doctors said that I cannot weight bare on my legs alone and have to use walkers or crutches. Do you think with your experience it 'll be difficult to move around for first few weeks ? Are you walking better now in 3rd week ?
What attention to details you are hinting at ?
I spoke to a a care that provides nursing , man they are expensive . They are quoting 20-24 USD per hour . But no option , I might have to use their services for minimum 10-12 days .

I am 30 , and 161 cms currently.
My plan is to be close to 168-169 with this, and then see how it goes. My main priority is near to full recovery .
