According to https://www.wannabetaller.com/limb-lengthening-surgery-doctors-and-costs/
For Stryde Precice with Dr. Ozgur its €58,500 ($65,230)
hi! i live in norway and i am also thinking about taking Stryde LL surgery in Istanbul Turkey with wannabetaller, how's your status so far?
Thanks all for kind words. I am making progress nearly every day. A couple of days after this video, I abandoned walker and walked with crutches. And right now, I am walking with a single crutch. Pain is minimal overall.
Some of the reasons why I went with these guys and Dr. Ozgur:
1. Yes they are significantly cheaper than US, but more than that, the price is all inclusive and the main emphasis is after surgery period. They provide service packages that includes everything from physio to accommodation. I went with luxury package and saved my money and time on many things, but the guys who organize it find even better priced facilities to patients low on budget.
2. I got very good vibes from the doctor. And then my initial impression was justified, he is quite nice and caring.
3. Turkey is a beautiful country, especially Istanbul city. I love seeing new places and was amazed by this city in the city tour I was taken (which is btw included in surgery cost). I almost feel im on a touristic trip rather than medical 
enjoying my time here.
wow that's really good to hear! i will then for sure go through LL surgery in Istanbul then 
but i have to consult with the norwegian doctor first. To see what they can do with the finances ect.
So how much did you pay for everything?
Hi Simon, hows your status ? I hope that everything is alright with you.
DAY 5
Today was a good day. I woke up and I was out of hospital, so actually I got better. I did morning stretching and physiotherapy sessions with my girlfriend, and an afternoon session with her, then in the nighttime, the physiotherapist came and we did a session together. As a result I gained 90 degrees of flexion in my knees, I could stand up bearing full weight. And I could use the walker to get to the toilet and walk around a little bit, and I did that several times in that day, I was pretty good.
DAY 6
I woke up, I went to the toilet, then started my exercises. I had a massive pain in my knee, the pain was very high level and agonizing.
I took some painkillers, then had some rest. My gf helped me doing physio session in the afternoon, then she just gave a light massage. When the physio came in the evening, it was much better, and we had a very good session. My flexion had become really good, I walked a lot better and the physio guy showed which muscles were weak, and which ones were stronger, and how I should be getting up, at what speed and how and at what angles because my muscles would change and they had to be adapted to the new length of the bones, the body dynamics would be different.
I started off bad but in the long run it was a good day.
DAY 7
Woke up this morning I was quite stiff, did a warm up and then an hour of exercises (some stretching, physio) with my gf. I’m feeling pretty good, my body is a bit warmed up so I took the wheelchair, went outside, we had some coffee, then we decided to go into the park. I had the next session of physio in the park till afternoon, it was a really good day, having some fun. We saw a kids playground, there were some bars, so I could stand up using the bars to hold my body and walk (you can see the video of my walking on that day on my previous post) with enough weight bearing to be comfortable. So it was a really big day doing that, really enjoyed it, came back. Then the physiotherapist came for evening session, had an hour of physio, really tired now, but I have a feeling that I am making progress.
good to hear, Simon! stay strong and have a good rest:)
