its crazy even buldu has lot patients who had complications they continue rising prices like crazy. i aked 1 year and few months ago was 25k today its 35k and rising ? is there better options for that money 
I'm thinking of getting femurs with LON, there's really no other option where I live...
My Doctor suggested I did one femur at a time, so I can have a "good" leg during the stretch. Of course, this would double the time needed for recovery, but given your reports of so much pain, I'm thinking that maybe it's better...
Do you think it would be better to do one leg at a time?

Please dont do that you will regret it.
How are you champ it's been a long time. I hope you come back.
If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread. Redact any information that could be used to dox you.
I have been following your diary for a long time. I sent you an pm but got no response. Can you continue the update?
It's been a long time man, I hope you're okay. I hope you update your diary. At least people will stay away from Halil butcher now.
Hey guys, long time no see. I fully consolidated probably 12-18 months ago. Life goes on normally and you kind of just forget about the forum and LL. My walk is normal, and I can jog and short burst sprint, though not as explosive as before. I can skii, skate, etc just not as nimble as before. i feel that you can’t recover until nail removal. I have a backing/loose screw as well last X-ray I posted, and I have moderate pain when I run so that’s what limits me. Ive been procrastinating the removal. I work as an engineer now, and I was finishing more college while working before so I had to put the removal aside. Now that I’m done I plan to remove the nails asap within the next few months. I really want the hardware out asap so I can become much more active. I’m already talking to multiple doctors and seeing if I can get insurance to partially cover. If not, no biggie I’ll pay out of pocket. I may end up doing tibia if I can get any sort of discount. I have to say that LL mentally did help me so much, but it comes with a lot of physical sacrifices. I used to be so insecure and hateful about my height, even though that was a mental issue on my part. Me considering tibia is more of a temptation if the opportunity presents itself, rather than the feeling I had before when I did Lon femur, where I felt I would subject myself to anything and go through whatever type of pain to grow. Being 5’5 in adulthood really shattered my confidence, and the lifts were crutches to my confidence. I haven’t touched lifts since. It really was a mental issue now that I look back at it. I wish I had been born one of those confident short guys that didn’t care haha. It seems like a crazy dream and poor judgement on my part in hindsight. If I end up doing tibia I will start a new thread, but like I said it’s not that important to me. Instead of buying a sports car or something etc I’d rather spend the money on that, especially if insurance covers some because of nail removal. But I’m not desperate for it like before, and if the opportunity doesn’t arise I’m fine like this. Ill update about nail removal when time comes god willing
Just read your whole diary, mate!
I have a couple of questions:
1. It's been more than 2 years since your initial surgery but you haven't removed the nails yet. As you know, it gets harder to remove after 2 years and I wonder why haven't you removed it already.
2. Have you measured your absolute high / low (basically, out of bed and before bed) heights prior the surgery? How much height did you gain precisely?
3. How do you like your thighs? Do they look straight? Do you spot any difference in shape, curvature and musculature apart from greater length?
Hope you answer my questions.
Hey guys, I just had the nails removed this past Monday and I feel so much better without them. Recovery is not too bad, with more soreness/discomfort than pain. I’m able to walk around without crutches but it feels like I had a gnarly leg day at the gym. After the hospital I refused to take any oxys and have managed just fine on OTC ibuprofen.definitely recommend removing the nails as soon as you’re safely able to.
I had the nails removed by Dr Hoellwarth who works with rozbruch. I paid 4400 total out of pocket and then insurance may or may not reimburse for all of some of it. You have to have a consult in person, then pay a surgery deposit, then afterward they do the claim. There’s another surgeon there named Taylor rief who offers removal as well. Assayag wanted 10k with my insurance.
The doctors who work at HSS with rozbruch are all top notch but don’t do LL for cosmetic. They have experience doing LL and rod removal in cases of reconstruction so I felt like I was in good hands with them.
