The Dr perform the surgery in both Baku and Moscow.  I read that he is mostly in Moscow and goes to Baku once every month. 

Good luck crimsontide.  Hope the weather isn't too cold there.

Ty Jerry.  I'm at the clinic now.  Anna is great,  everyone is nice though. .. They Have a very nice pretty girl from Bulgaria but she's leaving Monday. . She Had the Surgery on Tuesday and is walking already. .. They had a girl that was 180 cm that lengthened 7 or 8 cm but she  already left.  The fixator is very small.  It's a half ring,  and does not stick out much.   I don't think there's a smaller fixator than this, including salamehs device.

Yes. .. it's tiny. .. A girl here was wearing pajama pants today and could not tell she was wearing fixator. .. I was wrong about girl though. .. One girl lengthened 10 cm and  they say she will be okay but she's still recovering. ... but I'm not sure she exercised enough and 10 cm is a lot

Having surgery on Tuesday or Wednesday. . Met the Dr today..He asked me how much I wanted to leng1.5 yearsn. . He said there wer6-7  different lengthening  intervals, from 3-6 cm,6-9 and 9-11 cm.  He recommended 5 or 6 cm as the ideal so Was happy when I said 6 cm.   I asked him about complications. He is very confident that as long as I follow his instructions, everything will be fine. . He wants me to lengthen    .6 mm a day.  I won't start lengthening until I go home though. Patients here are walking (With walker) The day after surgery.  He is very upfront about total  recovery time. .. From 8 months total to 1.5 years. . This is for 6-7 cm. Ultimately it is up to the patient.  I agree with him btw that there is no need to stay in hospital while lengthening. One can do the exercises by themselves and the patient of course lengthens  himself. . He does say that after lengthening, we need to come back for a checkup and then of course at the end of consolidation to remove frames. .  If you have questions, feel free to ask

Hi Crisomtide,
Good luck with your surgery. have you asked to your doctor about lengthening lose? With only external you can lose 0'5-1cm.
I am planing my surgery with doctor salameh this year i had two appoinments with him, but i have somes doubts if it would be better
to do LON, but in this case i have pain in my kness the rest of my life. I don't know what option is better.
cheers
