hey guys/girls..I'm new here... anyone in the southern california (or usa in general)area that plans on doing their surgery in the next 2 years that want to form a group? Going to india, asia, russia, or eastern euro doctor for LL because it fits my budget. Planning on doing the entire surgery abroad. So maybe 8-10 months out of the country. I already have the money (30K) for the surgery, but I need to save an additional 30k to cover expenses when I come back to the states. Cali rent is expensive and the job market is competitive.
I'm 28 and roughly 5'4(5'6 with my airmax ha)... wanting to get to 5'7...
Possible doctors.

Hey, I just made an account on here. I am considering armenia, russia, and vietnam. Hoping to get the money this year. I'm a full time college student so it's a bit difficult to earn. Russia and vietnam seem to be under 15-20k and armenia 1900 usd per cm and 1300 usd month living expenses.

Think long term. Don't go somewhere just because it's cheap. Ask yourself this... if you were in a wheelchair for the rest of your life would you pay a one time fee of $20-50K to walk again?
You have to make that decision now, it'll be too late to make it after. Not trying to scare you, just being real.

The doctors seem to be okay there from what I've read. It's just cheaper there it doesn't mean they're all bad.

Hi guys, Im from asia (a country very close to India) I have been thinking about LL in india but with all those stories about sarin and sangri now im thinking about Vietnam. Just saw another diary from a girl who is currently doing in vietnam, seems like a good deal if its true. Im just planning to lengthen 6cm. currently i dont have any savings but I can sell some estate and earn half of it during next 2 years hopefully.

this is the reply i got from the Vietnamese company (member Asiann's doctor)
My name is Thao and I am doctor assistant. To answer your questions:
1. 6 ->7 cm in tibial is a very safe amount to lengthening.
2. For 6 -> 7cm it takes you around 4 months to walk again.
Please view the details caculate below:
* Aftef the first operation to have the frames on, you will need to wait 10 days to start to lengthening.
* With the rate of 0.75mm/day × 94 days ~ 7cm.
* After you have finished your lengthening then you will have to wait 5 days to have the frames removal surgery. Then another 5 days to recover from this surgery and start to walk with your new height.
Assuming you will lengthening maximum 7cm.
The math will be: 10 + 94 + 5 + 5 = 114 days.
If you only want to lengthening 6cm then please minus this result for 10 days = 104 days.
3. After 2 -> 3 years, you will have to come back for nails removal surgery.
4. You will need to be in a good health condition to undergo this surgery.
5. You need to make a deposit of 500 USD for us via Western Union + a front page picture of your passport to make a reservation + the date of your arrival. Please be aware that this fee is included in the total price and is non refunable in case you decide you do not want to do the surgery any more.
If you have more questions, please let me know. It is my pleasure to help international patients.
Best Regards,
Thao.
