When can you work/walk again after surgery? Dr. Betz

Edit Post

Hi guys,

I am 30 years old, originally from Germany but living in Zürich at the moment in Switzerland. I am considering getting a femur lengthing of 8-10cm at Dr. Betz in Germany in around 6 weeks. Currently, I am 1.74cm, but I would like to get over the magical 1.80m or 6 feet in the US limit.
An important question for me (due to financial limitations) would be: When is it possible to walk and work again (I work at an office)? On the website of Dr. Betz it says that you will start walking the day of the surgery to have a fast recovery: https://www.betzinstitute.com/
but I read a lot of threads where they say they can only walk after three months? On the phone and via email they said that I can walk even without crutches soon after the operation because the Betzbone holds my whole body weight shortly after the operation, but it is recommended to use crutches. So what is true? Can I for example stay at the Betz Institute just for 2 weeks get the operation done and the two week rehab at the Betz institute and then move back to Switzerland, doing the rehab 5-6 times a week, but continue to work? Like for example using the crutches while traveling to work with the public transportation, but walk without crutches at work. Is that possible?

Or is that impossible? Even though I am very disciplined and well trained (I have quite a muscular body, because I work out 3-4 times a week)

If someone has done the surgery at Dr. Betz, it would be AWESOME if you could write me a PN and maybe have a quick Skype call with me to tell me your experiences.

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Cheers!
