Do people do LL at Betz center alone?

Edit Post

On average how many people get operated at Betz institute per month?

Do most of them come alone or with someone for help?

Im going alone and others do the same.  I envy people who have a wife/gf that is there for them through the process though I think thats fantastic.

Most go alone. Sometimes a family member visits people but it‘s rare because most live far away. Be prepared for a huge amount of loneliness during LL. It will take a big toll on your mental health

What about other places? Anyone doing alone also?

I think at most places you will be alone but it really depends on your personal situation. If you have a great partner or sibling or parent they may help you, but it will probably depend on how far you have to go from home etc. Just my experience was that most are alone.

How do you take care of yourself when crippled by LL? Usually im not afraid to travel by myself but the fact that im defenseless when lengthening makes me scared.

I honestly have no idea how people manage with non-weight bearing nails.  You for sure need someone.  Personally thats just not an option for me.  With weight bearing it will suck but you can still move around especially with crutches.  I plan on getting delivery a lot so that will take care of food.

I agree with this. It’s hard enough with weightbearing. Impossible without.

If you want disadvantages from both internals and externals for some saved money then do LON…
