I see... I am wanting to do Precice on Femur and LON on Tibia at the same time (3 weeks apart). Do you think this is manageable or should I reconsider.

I would advise not to- Unless your pain tolerance is very high..

I see... I'm 158.8 or 5'2 though... I feel like my pain tolerance is pretty high as well.

Hey, if you feel like you can do it go for it! Both together imo does sound very painful, I personally thought this would be a lot easier than it is. Everything is hard for me, from visiting the toilet to lengthening pain to not getting sleep, although I’ve heard from other patients the first two weeks are quite bad, most people sit in there rooms & dont come out until 2 weeks.

 Some patients here are also doing Tibia then straight after removal they will do Femur, I will be happy to get out of here in one piece once

12th Day Post Op-

Hey people, my pain & inflammation in my legs has slowly decreased over the the past few days, the pain I have at night is still unbearable, I take a couple of strong painkillers to keep me ticking till the morning. Trying to spend as much time with other people as possible as this is the only way to keep me mind off the pain, spending time hours on end in my room is not good for mental health.

I was very close to taking the fixators off 3-4 days ago at night as the pain was unbearable, luckily it has got a tiny bit better. I’d advise anyone doing the LON Femur method to make sure you are ready for the pain & don’t just jump into it unprepared like me. Still trying to lengthen 1.5mm as I want to get to my goal ASAP!!

Seeing other patients finish has motivated me to see it through & go the full way. My goals was 8cm but now I might be happy with 6-7cm as I want the the recovery to be fast & short. We keep pushing 💨

Congratz on your journey. I highly recommend you to take photos of everything as proof in case of complication. Because LLT usually puts blame on patient as you can see from other diaries.
I hope you can reach your dream without any error..

Hey people, Starting a diary of my full lengthening with LLT, this is only an experience of my journey & isn’t representative of anybody or anything else. I also read other diaries & want to return the favour to others who are looking to get this surgery as they helped me a lot 🙌

Today is my 5th day, the reason I didn’t upload earlier was because of the pain I went through during my hospital stay here, INTENSE pain which I’ve now overcome. The first few days were the hardest not being able to physically move ect, took my first steps on my 2nd day which were VERY painful, the pain has now subsided compared to the first few days, Started lengthening in hospital & tomorrow I move to the rehabilitation centre where I’ll update you from.

Hey man, how is your progress so far?
