starting my journey with Dr Paley

Edit Post

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 ?

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.

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 .

Hope your surgery and recovery go's well, am also looking at Dr paley for my internal femur lengthening, he's the best out there but there have been some complications concerning knee pain on some of his patients, just make sure to follow his instructions and also work on your flexibility that's one of the key to quickly recovery.. Anyways Goodluck and please keep us posted, don't disappear like other diaries..

Hi guys !
Wanted to update you all but the entire experience has been so overwhelming thus far , today I feel more in senses and wanted to reply emails and write .
Thanks for all your wishes . I will definitely keep this Diary on as I really feel it helps fellow LL ers or aspiring LLers .

I am still in hospital (ST Mary’s)
My surgery happened on Tuesday , the 6th . Doctor told me everything went well and surgery was done quickly without complications and I was thanking god for that .
Post surgery , that entire day was pretty much painless and I was also raising my legs a little bit , nurses were surprisingly happy . I realised it was probably the spinal morphine that was still working.
Day 2 was most excruciating pain so far . My legs were sore , and I was in pain for most of the day. But did manage to get off the bed and used walker for the first time with physiotherapist. She is amazing and very nice .
Day 3 , yesterday was mixed. But definitely better than day 2 .

St Mary’s facility I would rate 5 on 5 , great nurses , good care , clean and hygienic , and definitely a place that doesn’t feel too lonely or annoying .

I can post some pictures for you all .
I am typing from mobile and this site doesn’t seem too mobile friendly for typing .
In the evening probably , I’ll give more detailed updates with pictures .
Guys please give me suggestions along the way to get done with this as smooth as possible.

 I have managed to hire 24x7 care for first 2-3 weeks to assist me as I am all by myself and will see how it goes from there , and if I should extend their services or manage on my own .
