Quote from: ShortyMcShort on August 19, 2014, 03:56:39 PMIm sure 'everyday ordinary' people wont have a clue unless you strip nked in front of them but then if you did that odds are they'll be too busy calling the cops to even notice, as stated you only noticed it once somebody pointed it out, somebody who knows about LL. Everyday people dont know jack about LL so no one will know the difference.

RGKEY, you are lucky to have a slightly bigger torso and another 5-6 maybe 7 cms will still look good and your tibia/femur proportion will be perfect. Start saving up, you know you want to 

yeah true, also looking at this video, im thinking Rgkey must have looked more unproportional before his surgery, his torso must have looked enormous compared to his legs

RGKEY you look great considering you did so much on your tibs.  I don't think any normal people will notice the length of your femurs. It looks like you could easily do 7 cms on femurs and look very proportional.

It seems that people here want u to do a second LL at any cost, if he's happy I can't see the reason, enjoy your life and make the best choice

Lol haha. Thanks guys for your comments. The truth of the matter is that I feel completely proportional. I actually love my proportions. Only thing I dislike is my bowed leg, but it doesn't bother me as much as my fat stomach so I guess is not so bad.  If I do femurs is not for proportion reasons at all! I would only do it to be taller. But honestly im enjoying my height and I would like the extra centemiters but im not so crazy about it. My girl has seem me nked and she thinks I look f**king awesome haha, but I guess she is my girl so what else can she say haha, but she definitely thinks im sexy haha her words not mine.

Some people only notice my height and say things like you look even taller, you look so much better, what happeny to you? Lol so so far only positive vomplemente from people. before some people asked me about my scars but now days they dont I guess Im very tanned. I think my proportions could handle more lengthening but unless i dont recover 100% i will not do any more LL. Or at least 90%

Rgkey how does it feel walking for you right now? Is it difficult, especially outside with the uneven terrain? Particulary knees and ankles how do they handle it.

In my case i have little problem walking on flat surface but with uneven terrain like outside it can be quite difficult. People would notice immediately that i am injured somehow with how i look walking currently, even without frames :p

I guess in short, does your walking look normal when you are outside?

Don't you have your frames on still? It takes 2 years to fully recover after frame removal, you shouldn't expect to walk normally so early

Yeah i have the frames on, i will probably be able to remove them one month from now, possibly i need a little more time for my left leg..

But im still walking close to normal on flat surfaces (ie inside buldings, floors) but i need to concentrate on walking to make it look normal otherwise i end up swaying a bit to each side and it looks stupid.

Outside, the terrain is almost never flat, but when it is close to flat i can walk pretty much as good as i can on flat floors in buildings. When there are more slopes etc, uneven terrain, then it becomes tougher for the ankles mainly, and the knee muscles have to work harder.

When i tried to walk normal speed on a road that was sloping a lot, i ended up injuring my ankle (probably a sprain or something because the ankle pins prevented my foot from bending sideways and it was there i had pain). Its healed now, but i dont want that to happen again because i couldnt walk properly for 3 days while it healed. So now i have to walk very slowly outside when the terrain is uneven..

Im hoping to be able to walk close to normal outside soon, otherwise people will know i did something to my legs even when im not wearing frames. I guess i could make up some injury excuse, but since they will notice me being taller and that i have been gone for so long, they would have to be quite stupid to not at least entertain the idea that i did some surgery on the legs...

Well, your biomechanics changed, you'll need some time to adapt. Your muscules are also not in the best shape, and the frames also weight some, altering your gait.

Just tell them you had a growth spurt or they shrunk lol, sounds fishy, but I doubt they care much.

You just gotta give it time man, you lengthened very little, so you will be back to normal very very soon! no one will notice anything. I think my walking is not so great due to my bowed leg specially i think, but it is normal enough. I just went out on a date and even thou I mentioned to the girl that I had an accident on my legs, just to see if she said something but she didnt mention anything about my walking or anything about my legs at all. I also ask friends and they say now it looks fine, in the beginning they would say that I walk as if my legs hurt, but now days all seems fine.
