Thanks for the info...Mind to share the cost info? I heard it can get quite pricey (upwards of $125K)hyperdog said:Most stay in the hospital for the entire lengthening, though some people (like me, who hardly felt any pain) went lengthened at home. Clearly you cannot do much during recovery if you are still on crutches (that's where I'm at now). I hear that it takes about one year before you feel strong enough to do real physical activities again. If you want full detailed information, go to makemetaller.info forum, which is where I got all my info. I went to the Betz Institute in Germany to get mine done.
