I have been thinking of this for a while and I was wondering if someone have an answear on this topic .
I'm in my early 20s and I'm planning to do 5-6max internal femur lenghtening with most likely the next weight-bearing nail (starting height 5'9).
My question is - Is it possible to make physical demanding jobs after LL ? How long it will take ?
Not talking about jobs like construction but about waitreassing or jobs like that ,that requires standing for long periods of time .
I'm making this question because I'm young now and willing to pay for my own surgery and have my back covered from my family just in case and can stay with them if needed for the time of my recovery ,but after LL I plan to move out in a different country and untill I get the job I went to college for I might need to make a more physical demanding job for a year or two  .
How much does it take to be able to do a job like that after surgery ?
Honestly I give for granted that after 1.5/2 y you can make it because if not this surgery would be a a non-sense no matter the starting height .
PLEASE take in consideration that I'm 5'9 and I want to do 5 to max 6 cm femurs ,therefore people who did 7+ tibias at lower starting height might have a complete different recovery .
Talking about safe amount (max 8 femurs and max 5 tibias) what are your thoughts on this ?

Some people can play basketball full court after LL. I think being a waitress is not that difficult after LL.

I understand but ''some'' does not make it a general rule ..like most can few can't or some can but most can't ? lol I know sounds tricky but to get to the point .
Plus explosive sports lasts what..1h ? the work requires more hours so I think it comes down to many factors an endurance more then strenght .

Waitress...are you a guy or girl at 5'9?

With weight bearing nail, I think you should recover fast and be able to stand comfortably for long period of time within 6 months after finishing lengthening (probably within 2-3 months since standing shouldn’t be hard unless your hips get really tight during lengthening, which is not common if you only do 5-6 cm on femurs.)

5 to 6 cm femur lengthening is on the lower end, which makes recovery sooner. My estimate is about 2 months lengthening, then 2 months in consolidation, then you can start walking independently. But you will be weak and walk stif, slow, and awkward.

Then 1 to 2 more month in consolidation to gain strength and improve gait, then you may be ready for the physical jobs you mentioned. So 5 to 6 months after surgery for 5-6 cm on femurs.

Femur is considered one of the strongest bones that work fast and recover fast.

And thank you guys , really appreciate the point of view of former patients .
I and most of us are on the young side so getting for granted that we will never have to make any "physical demanding " job again in our life it's a huge bet and this question has been coming in my mind very often so having reports from patients who had this and knows how it feels is great .
