If we chose to lengthen more than 6 cm which is safe limit and complication occured then its our fault not doctors. 


How reassuring..... Sarin is not in the same breath as Dr Paley or Guichet.

Recap:
Surgery performed September 1st
Lengthened tibias by 7.5cm
Frames removed November 3rd
Left India to head home November 8th

Overall experience:
Overall I was satisfied with my experience in India under Sarin's care. Professional,clean and genuine I believe all my needs were met with good lengthening phase results. If I had to complain about anything it would be the guest house service could have been better.

I've had the frames removed for 17 days now I've been home for 12 of those days. Complications I had when the lengthening was over:knee bending, ballerina, knee pain

From the very first day I landed back home I've been practicing standing with a walker. Since then my pain has significantly gone done I've also gotten a lot of mobility back in my ankles. My knee bending is almost all gone and to a delightful surprise my ballerina is now less then half an inch when I stand up straight and i haven't even started walking yet.

I will post proportion photos once I can actually stand in a mirror and take a pic. Before I forget I'm very impressed with my scars they're healing very well in a couple months time you won't even be able to tell

I've been very fortunate indeed while going through this so far other then pain.

I've taken a few steps with my walker today I feel like an old man when I walk but hell im ahead of schedule. I've also started training my abs and upper body at home, I'm tired of being lazy. One day I'll do 10-30 minutes of ab exercises I usually get 5 exercises done with 3 sets each. The next day I'll do every single push up imaginable to man. Regular, triangle push up, tricep push up, clapping push up etc I'll also do tricep dips. All of this for 3 sets each

How flexible / fit were you before LL? Were you athletic? Did you train / exercise to prepare for your surgery?
