I know most of you are younger but has anyone here in their 30s or beyond had a successful CLL done?

I'm booking a consule with Dr. Paley soon and looking forward to asking him what he feels is best.

I'd be happy with just 8cm on my femurs. I am in good shape and not worried about my ability to handle surgery, moreso my ability to walk normally and jog afterwards.

Any advice, experience or input appreciated.

I'm 39. I've just completed 8cm femur lengthening last month with Dr. Paley using Precice 2.2 nails. I didn't encounter any complications, except for pains and and sleeplessness for the first 4-5 weeks that everyone went through. A few guys I've met here, around 19 and 20 years old, had more complications, pains and slower bone growth than I did.

Be aware that I'm just an anecdotal sample. Prior to surgery, I was relatively in shape, healthy, non-smoker, and pretty flexible.
