Stryde CLL with Dr. Tim O'Carrigan in Sydney, Australia, 2020

Edit Post

Very cool. I’m an Aussie. Good luck.

Are you planning stryde for both? Would’ve have thought you’d be nearing the $200k aussie if so.

@m7liam: Yup. From what I can tell, the difference in quality of experience and time to heal, between the Precice and Stryde nails is very significant. Apparently after 1.5-2 months you can be mostly walking around with the stryde nail based on the diary of this guy here (http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=9671.155), whereas it would take much longer with the precice nail.

So you plan to be a politician around age 31?

@ghkid2019: I'm aiming for my late 30s, early 40s. I have some political projects I want to finish up first, and the most important of them will take about 2 years before it's ready for release in a form that's politically viable.

If everything goes smoothly, I can probably start transitioning into politics full-time by 35. I'm allowing slack time though, so I don't think I'll be in it full-time until 40.

I'll be involved in it part time by mid-way next year.

I did not know Australian surgeons performed CLL. This is cool!

Yep. I chose to do Styrde femurs in greece. Have been walking unassisted since the end of week 3

Can you please confirm if O'Carrigan is in fact conducting CLL?

His website suggests the treatment is for deformity and trauma only.

Quote from: BecomingHuman on August 19, 2020, 11:25:52 PM@wannabeidol I don't want to advertise prices for the good doctor; but if you email him, you can ask him for a price range. I expect to get an exact quote today.

He gave me a minimum price which was very reasonable and very affordable (still in the tens of thousands). He was reluctant to give such a quote, and I caj understand why since the actual price quote for each patient will be different because different treatment regimens may be required.

I would encourage you to contact him directly and ask for a price range (don't ask for a quote. You'll be given a quote on your initial consultation day.)

I want to clarify something: during my consult they explained that the price to do it out of pocket is approximately 140k, but that for patients who can get Medicare approval, the out of pocket expenses are about 20k.

Getting Medicare approval usually requires being pretty below average height plus being able to demonstrate that it has amln adverse effect on your life, including reasonably serious mental issues.

I guess my journey ends here; I don't think 140k is worth it to me.

@ton9031: Yes he has no problem with doing cosmetic lengthening.

Thanks for the reply.

$140k is steep. Is it not going to Greece or the U.S. a more affordable solution?
