The pain has gotten much more tolerable today the food in the hospital is pretty good as well. I haven't seen Sarin since surgery but I get checked up on regularly by nurses and other doctors I'm quite satisfied as of now. I'm not spending all this money on 5cm if I can achieve the full 9cm. 5cm technically isn't even 2" I'm doing this surgery once and then I'm moving on with my life it has been done many times before me I also have pharmaceutical Hgh medication waiting for me back home which will speed up the consolidation phase immensely. I truly appreciate everyone's concern with my safety but lengthening is very controlled and we can analyze day by day how my body is handling it. I will keep you all updated thank you:).
I'm very lucky to have the support of my parents throughout this "adventure".
3 inches external tibia Dr.Amar Sarin
9cms?! So almost 4 inches on tibias?! There's no "moving on" and living your life if you've done irreparable damage, but glad you're going to decide as time passes. Just at least be open minded about it.
Good luck! 
You decided to to tibias, so I'm giving you the absolute best advice I can.. 5 CM ONLY! I know that sounds disappointing, but when you pass 5 CM on tibias there is absolutely zero going back. It's being proven time and time again that anything over 5 cm on Tibia greatly hampers your recovery years into the future. It's not to say it's impossible, or that you'll basically be a cripple... but you won't be anywhere close to where you were before and enjoying your new height will not be easy.
If you wanted the full 8 cm, you should have gone for the femurs... play it smart!
Day 3 since surgery the pain is very tolerable I can move my legs side to side and up and down. The food isn't bad although it's vegetarian diet hopefully the guest house has better options. The staff is very friendly and will get you anything you need. I'm not wasting 20000$ to still be under the average height of my country. I think 9cm is too much but 3" shouldn't be a problem and if it is we will be able to tell and stop. It's been done before many times with full recoverys it all depends on you and your lifestyle. I believe I will be transferred over to the guest house working 7 days to begin lengthening. I'm barely taking any pain killers anymore and I can sleep just fine I will keep you posted.
So i guess it's better to enjoy your height with mechanical problems or worse, on a wheelchair.
Rethink that.
Give the guy a break. He is an adult (young one but still an adult). It's his legs and his responsibility.
Good luck buddy
You're doing 9cm on tibias?? Well, then kiss your former healthy and active life goodbye. You won't recover to even nearly as 50-60%. The ones who say they have recovered to 100% doesn't even know of their own potential. These guys are happy they can walk.
I did 7cm with Dr Sarin from January to May in 2013. It's now been 3 years and 3 months since I left the guesthouse in India.
I can honestly tell you that I am crippled today to the point that I can not run if I don't prepare myself. I was going to catch the bus yesterday and saw it around the corner. Before my LL it was never any problems running to the station. I was fast as a cheetah and a professional sportsman. But I couldn't even start running because I've been walking too much that day.
It truly sucked just watching the bus drive away and I felt like an old man.
Don't pass 5-5,5cm. Your life will not be better with 9cm on your legs. You will also look totally weird. Everyone will notice your too long tibias. Your strides when walking will be way off from what is normal. Most likely you will end up with knee problems too.
Today I am 35 years old. I wish so bad that I've stopped at my planned 6cm. The numbers got to me and I thought 1cm wouldn't be much worse so that I could become 180cm.
Big mistake.
I'm positive I would have been much much better than I am today if only I've stopped at 6cm instead of 7cm.
I can barely jump at all. My legs got so weak that I developed X-legs which I suffer from every day. My tibias are too long and it's just not normal for the body when doing squats or anything else in the gym where you use your legs. The human is already perfect from the beginning. If anyone tries to alter that it never ends up in a good way.
I have some kind of pain EVERY DAY. I still need to take tramadol some days when it is extreme but mostly just aspirin.
I try to do heavy weight training in the gym but my ankles are still very stiff and have bad range of motion so it makes it very difficult. My X-legs gives me really trouble if I want to work out explosiveness in my legs. One time I was close to die just bc my knee sprung to the side and I fell down with 80kg above me.
The worse part is just that I can not run whenever I want to. And then the X-legs.
You will be much worse if you do 9cm. WAY WORSE!!
Stick to a maximum of 6cm, but preferable 5cm.
It's not about the money. It is about your life!!
If I would have done 7cm when I was 19 years old then everything I've done in sports would be all gone.
From now on you will never know for the rest of your life what you could have done in sports.
And yes, I have enjoyed many moments from being taller. The empowerment it has given me is priceless! I earn more now than ever before - but I will never know if it has anything to do with my surgery. Next year I hope to break the $100.000 a year barrier. After I'm done working this much I'm planning to go visit Dr Betz or Guichet so hopefully they can make me better than I am today.
Take care and stand up as much as you possibly can do - every day!
Give my best to Dr Sarin!

Thank you! I'm writing this diary for people who are are planning to do the same and are curious as to how the process goes. I was very clear that I didn't wanna hear about how much I'm lengthening it's my choice I will be fine if you wanna spend thousands of dollars for 1" be my guest but let others decided for themselves. People have done 6"+ in one segment and have been fine. I've been to the guest house pre surgery and I met many people most of whom were Indian. One in particular was a professional cricket player in India who lengthen 4.5" a year later he was playing again he had returned to remove the LON nail.
Sweden I have read up on your situation I've been lurking this site for a long time now I truly am sorry for how things turned out for you but you doing this at 32years old at was already a red flag. You need to be young to recover fully also I have gh back home if you know how good it is you would know I will be okay. 8cm is the MAX I would lengthen I'm not saying I will actually achieve this that's my goal but I'm more then prepared to stop before hand.
My friend, it is your choice,but if you want 9 or 11 cm, you should do 4 segments, instead of two, believe me, you will be better than doing 9 cm in just two segments.
