Remember, I am not denying I am out of proportion. Femur is longer of course, but it's a very acceptable trade-off for me. What matters is when you stand up. Of course, if I had done less, say 7 or 8cm it would be less obvious.

Just a quick update. I promised x rays and vids showing running and weights in gym. Slight delay due to logistics but coming soon.

Hope you keep up the promise. As many potential LLers would be eagerly waiting for the same. Tia

Hi folks, just discovered that Dr Jamal had kept some old photos of mine (including a before/pre LL pic) plus some xrays. Have a look at the link below.

Thanks for the detailed responses.
What did you do to prepare for the surgery?
Can you list it out as im planning on getting surgery in October 2018 and I haven’t done anything to prepare physically.

I do take my vitamins, but that is all currently.

Eat well, cut out all junk. Go to gym, mix of cardio and resistance training. Don't do squats or deadlift. Stretch, stretch and stretch.
Where are you getting your surgery done?

I’m going to to go Paley which is expensive but I just want to be in the best hands as possible.  So I shouldn’t deadlift or squat?  My legs are pretty weak compared to my upper body so I was thinking of actually upping the squats and deadlifts prior to surgery

The photo where you're squating on the ground, that's post LL I presume, judging by small scar on the your thigh?. Your femurs don't look too long at all.  Appears proportional.

If your legs are fairly weak, then go for it, but not too heavy. You want to be lean and flexible, not too bulky.
