It might be a combination of the above, but for the sake of the poll choose the biggest factor that holds you back from doing it.
I chose 'Other' because a situation is holding me back in the states temporarily. I finally got my visa approved for India but my landlord just threw a wrench into everything by saying she wants to sell the house, and since I'm leasing a room month to month I need to find a place and move everything before I can book my flight.
What is the main thing holding you back from doing limb lengthening right now?
All of these were the biggest factor to me at some point but after some of the discussions lately I don't know if it will be worth it if I got f*cked up for the rest of my life. I am glad I didn't have the time last year to go to India. I will probably save for a couple years so I can go with a good surgeon. Also now I am considering doing external to avoid the knee problems but that's a long time with frames on.
My job. Can't easily get a leave.
I think femurs would be best for my proportions, but, internals, unfortunately, cost a fortune, and there's absolutely no way I will do external femurs. It will take me ages to save up 50k as a college student, but I am trying to find a way.
Sometimes, though, I'm tempted to lengthen my tibiae 5cm for ~20k, with Dr. Barinov, but my tibiae are already long so I'm afraid I'd look obviously disproportionate. I don't know how so many veterans still look proportionate with 6.5 CM+ on tibiae when many of them had normal femur to tibia ratios to start out with.
