how much does he charge for precise femurs?
also I think it was a wise choice stopping at 6 cm. you can always get femurs done later if you want to be even taller. its important not to play the numbers game at the price of sacrificing healthy limbs 
.
congratulations.

Thanks. I think 6 cm is even kind of pushing it because if I stopped at 5 cm I wouldn't have had equinus or the greater aches and pains for the last 1 cm.
Dr Parihar charges around 900,000 INR, for his surgery fee. The rest would have to be paid to Ellipse for them to send the nails to him, and the nails are supposed to be around $30,000 USD. So you're looking at around $45,000 USD for nails and surgical expenses plus around $1,500 USD per month for hotel and food.
u said u experienced ankle stiffness and soreness in ur last CM, did u experience any of it during those 5 cm ?
Only really when I increased from .75 mm of distraction per day to 1 mm of distraction.
Final X-Rays
(Total distraction 6.2 cm)

why did you increase the rate?
Also the reccuring theme seems to happen, so if we just lengthen .75 mm it all will go smoother.

This is the thing im so affraid is gonna happen. Hope they take good care of me in china.
What does it feel like being 6cm taller now? Is it that much of a difference?
What are some new things you've noticed?
hehe you couldn't resist the extra 2 mm I have a feeling it will be the same with me.
congratulations how does it feel to finally finish?
it is very tempting to do more than .75mm everyday, I don't know if I could stick to that limit but I will try. did you get equinox when you were lengthening at 1mm or 0.75mm each day?
anything you would have done different in hindsight?
Wow man I would like to take this moment to thank you for all you have done for future LL'ers.
For ppl like me on a budget your effort to obtain information and post it put here has been priceless. You feel like a brother to most of us in this forum. You respond to questions u don't have to answer and I am amazed by your ability to help others at no benefit to yourself.
You might remember that I am looking for a Dr to do 4cm monorail external only on my tibias. However, since yesterday I have been wondering if I should just get this all done and over with.
What do u think about 4cm in my tibias external with comfortable monorails and 8cm in my femur with precise simultaneously? I intend to break my femurs 3 weeks after tibias to minimise embolism and other risks.
I figure that if tibias consolidate slower and I only lengthen 4cm that I could be walking with crutches 6 month s from the first operation.
I only weigh 58kg and I expect that to drop to 55kg during LL so I should be able to partially weight bear on the monorails and the precise during distraction.
Please ask Dr Parihar what he thinks as he is my first choice for my LL adventure?
