Plan on going for a LON experience for as much height gain as possible sometime in 2021 when I get out of the military. If anyone is interested in getting a few of us together or have any suggestions for doctors, I'm your guy. I'll keep checking on this post and messages until that day comes, feel free to comment or DM me!

There's a very slight chance I could do it in 2021 in Russia, but again probably more likely it will be around 2023-2024, funny enough we are of similar height give or take 1-2cms, how much you planning on getting done?.
-
Didn't see the 180cm's, we would even be going for the same height, so we would be there a similar amount of time, although I would be doing arm lengthening also. I'm going to guess you're going for 180cms over two surgery's?.

That's right. I'm shooting for cross elongation for femurs and tib/fib 5 cm each segment. About 5'6 going for 5'10/5/'11. Figured if I'm doing this, I'll go for as much as I can. Bummer you're thinking for a later date, it'd be good to have a buddy heading out there. But I'll tell you what, over the last few days I've been in contact with Dr. Leonid Solomin in Russia, I'm going to be putting up the info he's been giving me in an update post. He's got a formula for calculating costs and keeping things realistic. Out of all my hunting, he's looking like the strongest candidate. From what I've gathered, heading back to the states after about 4 - 5 months in Russia, about 50 days per leg. Right after the distraction is done and the nails are locked. If I learn anything else or look into other doctors I'll put it up on this thread.
Oh, and happy holidays 8)

Happy holidays also man, and in regards to India I hace given it some thought, at the minute I haven't nailed down a firm choice. If I was to go for India I would say my go to date would be 2021 like yourself, being from Ireland and having an Irish passport along with a UK one it would be alot easier for me to get a visa.

Aw dope dude I'm Irish-American. If you got any good leads in India you should post on here, I'll look into Russia some more.

That's sick man, and honestly only decent surgeon I have come across from India is Dr. Mangal Parihar, the rest seem really dodgy.
