Quote from: SpeedDialer on January 16, 2021, 09:20:07 AMDuring leg lengthening, do you think any exercise beats walking around in your room with a cane/walker/crutches?
In terms of risk/reward tradeoff, no.
how long did it take for you to get the frames off after first surgery? Were you able to function unassisted after that? Thanks!
4.5 months.
No, I needed a walker or wheelchair for a while.
Did you have any regrets after the surgery? Also, if you could go back, would you change a thing or are you %100 content with your journey so far?

Sometimes I regret doing it at all. Most of the time I'm not even using my height, and that gets more true the older I get. Senior citizens don't use their height at all; nobody cares how tall an old man is. So LL does not give you a lifetime benefit.
If I could go back in time 14 years I might reconsider the surgery, but if I still did LL I'd get 5 cm on tibias with external only. I think I'd have better balance, wouldn't have gotten exertional compartment syndrome in my tibialis anteriors, and wouldn't have tendonitis in my patellar ligaments.
It's possible. Several fellow patients worked from the hospital.
Hey Medium,
Appreciate your contributions in answering questions, here are some of mine:
1: Do you think 7cm is excessive for LON? What would be the maximum you recommend?
2: Do you have any lingering pain from your surgery back then?
3: If you had a second chance, would you do LL again?
4: Any advise for a person depressed and feeling inferior over his height? I'm only 5'4... I really hate my stature very much but I'm not sure if I should go over with this.
5. Did you experience an increase in attracting woman after surgery with your increased height?
6. How excrutiating is the pain right after surgery, during lengthening, and during consolidation for LON?
Thank you and I hope to hear from you

You mean tibias? Yeah, probably. Stick with 6.
Quote2: Do you have any lingering pain from your surgery back then?
Some stiffness of the knee joints, and the tibialis anterior muscles feel weird. They got exertional compartment syndrome and required a fasciotomy.
Quote3: If you had a second chance, would you do LL again?
I don't know. If I could go back in time and decide again, I'd at least be more hesitant. I was 100% going to get LL back then with no doubts in my mind.

Society sucks and you shouldn't care if anyone in it likes you or not. It will crumble in a few decades anyway. The U.S. will destroy itself in a civil war, ending the Pax Americana, leaving China as the dominant power in the world. They will try to bully everyone like they bully their little neighbors now. World War III with weapons of mass destruction will happen, global warming will continue to get worse and worse. Tall, muscular, and fat people who need a lot of food will die out, leaving skinny 5'4 people as the master race.
Actually, just go get LL and enjoy the last few decades of peace and prosperity to the fullest extent. 
Quote5. Did you experience an increase in attracting woman after surgery with your increased height?
Yes. Very much so.
Quote6. How excrutiating is the pain right after surgery, during lengthening, and during consolidation for LON?
Not so bad if you don't move.

Amazing bro, all I needed to hear. Always feel that I had to put in so much effort attracting my previous dates when other people do it so casually. I had to be like a jester to even get her to invest in me whereas my taller friends had girls crushing on them just for how they look. Being 5'4 really sucks. Glad to have someone like you in this forum!
