Questions for people who completed lengthening with STRYDE

Edit Post

1. Three months after the surgery, are people typically strong enough to bring back their stuff onto the plane?

In my planning, I thought to myself "Okay, I'll bring a backpack filled with stuff + a carry on luggage". Then I realized that I might not be strong enough to bring that stuff back after 3 months on my walker

2. If you are not strong enough to bring your stuff onto the plane/pick it up, what would you do?

3. The following is the stuff I thought of bringing. Do you think I should bring anything else?

Stuff I thought of physically bringing in backpack + checked luggage at the airport:
- Laptop, cables to connect them to stuff
- Wireless keyboard
- Phone, tablet, chargers for everything
- one of those long claw grabber things
- 4 oversized towels for comfort/easy drying
- a foldable cane
- small amount of tissue
- passport (do I need this if I am from America and doing the surgery in America?  I don't fly much)

Stuff I thought about having ordered to place I stay:
- A relatively cheap 4k TV to connect my laptop into to use w/ the wireless keyboard
- sunscreen
- tissues/paper towels/soaps etc groceries

4. If you were American but not from California and you were doing surgery with Mahoubian, how would you get that stuff there? I guess there is weighing the cost of the items vs buying them again.

Hi CodyTheDog,

Pack light, order everything else once in LA. Once done with LL donate everything you don't need and isn't expensive in Skid row.
