How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

I’m sorry that you are having to go through all of that. The theory behind Osteostrong was developed by NASA so there is some credibility there. (Without gravity, astronauts lost bone mass). And I really cannot lift my full body weight at 122 lbs. But the machines are designed to allow one to simulate the lift to trigger rapid growth. I did get stronger over time but never made it to the magic 4.+ level. I have been reading, with increased expectations, the recommended book, Yoga for Osteoporosis by Dr Loren Fishman, and plan to start with his recommended regimen. There is an interesting video of him on YouTube that you may find encouraging. (I ordered the book from Amazon).

Thanks so much for your feedback. I just watched Dr Fishman's video. Unfortunately, because of all the hardware in my hips, I'm unable to do the floor exercises, but the standing poses were great! I'm going to add a standing yoga routine to my daily exercise plan. That was a good tip....I would not have thought of it. Also, I am wondering if you had any increase in bone density during your time at OsteoStrong, or just muscle strength?
