It will always depend on which type of LL you go for, how much you lengthen, whether you choose femur or tibia, whether the doctor makes a mistake, how your body responds to it and how dedicated you are at doing your exercises consistently.

If you go for a modest amount of lengthening in the femurs and have a good doctor then chances should be good for recovery. I think people say it takes about 2 years for a full recovery, but you might be able to be a chef in a kitchen before then. Maybe someone who has done LL can give a more detailed answer to this.

If under 8cm for femur and 6cm tibia, with stryde you should be able to fully recover within 10-12 months. Not on a sports levels maybe, but for work and day to day life

Even before surgery, standing 8-10 hours a day continuously is pretty impossible for me haha.
