Dr. Sarin does 30-40 of these surgerys a year for the past 20 years. There are maybe 7 diaries related to him some of which were successful. People are more likely to share their experience of they're angry and unsatisfied with their results, if everything went smoothly and recovery happened well it's easy to put it in the past and move on. You have convinced me that 9cm is too much but I'm not stopping at 5cm unless necessary.
3 inches external tibia Dr.Amar Sarin
Quote from: Sweden on September 02, 2016, 09:43:51 PMYou'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!

You need to do another ilizarov to fix the x-legs... But it would be nice if you could do a recap of how the added height changed your life for better or worse... What changed in terms of sociability, jobs, women etc... If it's all exaggerated in the forum or if it's real

Do whatever you want it's your life.
But getting additional cm's for the price of basic life functions is just stupid. People only try to warn you.
Quote from: Morissette on September 02, 2016, 09:51:59 PMSweden 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.
Age isn't a huge factor as people play it out to be. I know a guy who did it at 52 years old with Paley. He did all 4 segments for a total gain of 4.5 inches. And guess what? He's pretty much near 100%. Know why? He played it smart.
I'm done stating what I personally need to state. Good luck.
Age is the biggest factor lol, age has everything to do with your hormone levels which is what heals you. Also why I have hgh waiting for me at home to greatly speed up consolidation phase. Maybe if I had 200k chillin in a bank account I would do the same but that's not the case I don't wish to put myself in debt for the rest of my life because US doctors are greedy. I started this diary because I wanted to help others decide wether or not they wanted to go through what I'm going through right now. I also thought I would get support and motivation from other members but so far I regret sharing my experience. Have a good life.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. You want to do ridicilous amount of lengthening per segment(on tibias which have bigger limits), with Sarin who is well known of being one of the worst LL surgeons and on top of that you want to use HGH which will probably screw your endocrine system.
But you only see that some people DARE to disagree with you. We are not attacking but actually worrying about your future health, that's the difference between this forum and the old one.
So many people had their lives destroyed but people learn nothing.
Anyway, good luck with your journey, i hope you will be alright.
Pain has fully stopped doctors are impressed by how much mobility I have regained in my legs already I'm still satisfied with the care they are providing for me my only complaint would be I haven't been able to speak to Dr.Sarin since surgery I presume he must be very busy hopefully I'll get too see him before I get sent over to the guest house. I'm almost off of all pain killers at this point and I will start lengthening on Monday. I will keep you posted!
I have never met a bunch of whiners and complainers except on these damn LL forums. I have done two LLs. I personally know several people in their 20s that did 10 cm on tibiae and fully recovered. Dr. Sarin is a good doctor....the external tib operation is about as easy as they come for an LL doctor. Yes...3 inches is standard for how much one should lengthen on tibs...but several people have done more. You never go back to who you were...i dont care which doctor you go to (betz or otherwise...and I know several that went to betz). LL is what you make it...its about overcoming every obstacle thrown at you. height is worth it. If you cant get to 9cm...Sarin is going to stop you. Big thing is dont lay in bed all day...you have to stand as much as possible...or sit in a chair and get you feet flat on the ground as much as possible.
It is impossible, for anyone in the world, to recover fully after doing 10cm. Stop saying these things.
You won't be able to jump normal again.
Do 9cm and take your HGH back home. Then show us some videos of when you're doing some jumping, running and quick turnings. I really hope you make it.
But the thing is - it's impossible.
Quote from: Morissette on September 02, 2016, 08:38:20 PMbut 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
No. No. No. Listen to Sweden.
What "full recovery" means to a couch potato is going to be very different to a personal trainer. Again, listen to Sweden.
