I am not sure paley or Robert rozbruch   I want to do my tibia

Gotta be honest. I've heard about this surgery for many years now, discovered this forum a few months back, but never really considered this procedure due to cost and most doctors working in other countries.

Until now. My parents are actually moving to Fl. later this month and I have quite a bit of family down there already (including W. palm beach). I think if someday I ever come into an influx of cash, or just finally land a "real" job, I may start saving up for this. I'm only just over 5-2 (62 inches, 157 cm) but the risks terrify me too much to go too far, so 5cm for both femurs and tibia's is all I'm interested in. Sure I'd only be about 5-6, but for me it's still worth it. I suppose I'd consider going a little bit further and try to reach 5-7 if the risk for an extra inch isn't too bad. I'm in really good shape already and I love to physically challenge myself. So doing hours and hours of PT to get back up to 100% doesn't discourage me at all.

sorry to hear you are 157, well anyway can you really afford 2xLL with this doctor, because that is a huge amount of cash for sure.

Thanks. It's nice to get opinions from like minded people who get where I'm coming from. Even my friends who I've known a long time who have always been fat always tell me not to think about it, it's not a problem, you should just be more confident, etc...

I'm a man, so yeah it's been rough. I'll avoid the cliche's of social awkwardness, no attention from females, doubting your self-worth, no one understands the pain, etc... We've all heard it before. To answer your question though, no I don't have nearly the funds for this sorta thing. I have about 12 grand saved up in a savings account (not counting credit line and my bank account since that money gets spent regularly) but that would go to plenty of other things before this procedure (house, car, or even a vacation at the very least lol).

I sometimes think if I had ate and slept better as a kid I *might've* been a few inches taller, but again at this height it really doesn't make a difference. I'm taller than my parents and most of my family (Yeah, we're a bunch of little runts, lol). I just try to look at life's checks and balances. My brother got lucky and made it to 5-6.5 (66.5 inches) but he's been struggling with his weight since he's a little kid, whereas I've never been overweight in my life once, regardless of how much junk food/candy I ever ate or still indulge in from time to time. I'm 31 btw.

Oh, and I just checked google's centimeters to inches converter, I'm actually somewhere between 158-159 centimeters lol.

Could anyone tell me when Paley would let me go home? I would have to fly from India to Florida for the surgery and I don't want to stay there longer than I have to.

Why is it so expensive? I remember reading about LL surgery a few years ago.. the price was around 25k dollars for some specific surgery. Only rich people can afford this surgery :/ I feel like you miss out on a lot of customers by charging so much. Imagine how many patients you would have if you charged 25k!

That logic is flawed, and you can get externals for 15 to 25K. It's the internal nails you have to sell a kidney for.

I`m at 5'3 (160) and I really want to gain more 4 inches (5'7 would be my ideal) could Paley do 4 inches with the recommendation of my endocrinologist that I'm seeing for 8 years and said that I could gain 10cm?

The PRECICE only goes up to 8cm. There's nothing Paley can do about that.

Does anyone have any information on Dr Paleys external method. What is the max it can lengthen, how comfortable, price, is it worth it, etc.
