Hello, Medium Drink Of Water.
Unfortunately, I've got a lot of questions and I hope you have time to enlighten me.
I've already made a post about that but It didn't take much attention, so let me copy and paste the question here.
"The question is:
Let's give an example, a lot of people who had have the surgery on FEMURS, also thinking of doing it on tibias again.
Did you all get back to your daily rutine with no problems at all, and considering more cencimeters to look "better"
or is it just, you've already lost some ability to run and walk properly, and saying "f--- it, i'll also go on tibias since i've already lost my ability. I got nothing to lose."
That's insanely important for me, because I want to have 2 seperated surgeries and I want to know If people could get back to their rutine with zero problems, zero problems on running, stairs etc.
If people have lost their ability and say YOLO and go for another 5cm, I won't consider having 2 surgeries.
Also, is it possible to bend your knees 180 degrees after 2 surgeries?
7 cm on femurs and 5 on tibias."
Have questions for a long-term LL veteran? Ask them here!
A: There will always be some sort of problems. You do a extreme surgery. You will always feel it a little bit, if everything turns out the best.
You can do sports and everything. It will never be as easy as before the surgeries.
I know, but that's the thing.
As your signature says, you are also thinking of going for another 5 centimeters on femurs.
Is that because the surgery itself was OK and very worthy, or do you feel like you lost some abilities and you don't care anymore?

I compete as a pro athlete again. Next year I was chosen for the world championships. Yes I feel soreness in my knees everyday but I can still be competitive, something I never thought was possible before the surgery.
I’m thinking of ~4cm. Quick and easy. Then I’ll be 184cm tall and I think it’ll be great.
But if I do it I’ll ruin my career that I’ve worked so hard for so it won’t happen within the next 4-5 years at least, if I ever do it.
180cm is not that much here in Sweden. You begin to be tall around 185cm.
I’m happier than ever before, but my dream height has always been 184cm.

Is there a way to fix the soreness for the eternity somehow?
edit:
Forgot to say, I think If you've gone for 5 cm instead of 7, you could have been better now.

I didn't have two surgeries, so I don't have an answer for that specifically. But after doing one surgery, I'm mostly recovered to the strength, agility, athleticism, etc that I had before.
MDOW, you understand basal metabolic rate right? The amount of calories we burn just existing. Like a 6'0 man would naturally just burn more calories from existing than a 5'6 man.
Do you think your BMR has gone up from 5'7 man to a 5'10 man? Or would it just be a 5'7 man plus a tiny bit of extra BMR from the tibias.
Thank you. Obviously hard to measure, but I would consider questions like, could you eat more now than you did before LL and gain less weight?
About the same as beore but with extra BMR for the tibias. This didn't change the rest of me at all.
Hello,
How exactly does our skin stretch and grow with your bones? When you get the surgery done, would the skin be more tight and understandable that you did something to your knees or your skin?
or is it just as same as before except the scars?
Best Regards
New skin cells grow, so it is not tight like you have a suit of skin your old size stretched over your longer legs.
