I really feel like in one more year i will be close 100 percent recovered, so yeah it will be probably 2 years post frame removal and almost 3 years post operation. 
Nice brother. Good look. You are wearing lifts in that picture. How much ?

I dont even know anymore, maybe 3 or 4 centemiters
Looking great man! You proportions are okay, nothing weird with you, and your starting height is the same of mine... I'm lengthening my tibiae and I was thinking to stop at 6.5 cm, basically because of proportions thoughts, but maybe I could go for more... You're the guy with bowed right leg right? How will you manage that point?

thanx man. i think no one should do LL in tibias less than 7cms, it is too much effort for such short gain!!! i would say at least 7cms and ideal 9 or 10cms. fk proportion no one notice it only the proportion freaks in these forums lol
i have left leg bowed. I'm going to try to fix it here if my insurance covers it. i hope.
What about the tendons surgery?

I think you're looking at it the wrong way and people may interpret your statement as fk it, I am not doing less than 7 cm no matter what. While the gain in height is small in 6 cm or less the reduced complications and less time recovering and limping are huge yet sometimes unacknowledged intangible benefits.
I'm doing 5 cm on tibiae and I am pretty satisfied with my decision. It all depends what your priorities are. I was a only 5'4 and with 5 cm it would only put me at 5'6 which is still short. Shorter than a lot of you guys post LL and even some guys pre-LL(those fkers). However I wore 5 cm lifts and I had an awesome life before. Friends, girls, money that I made on my own. I never have to remind myself why I did this because I remember my height was always a personal issue with me. I m just doing this basically to knock that insecurity away.
When I came to this forum I was dead set on 10 cm, but as I learned more about the procedure and weighed the risks against the advantage(which there is only one: you are x amount of cm taller, anything else anyone thinks this surgery will grant them is just a delusion), my expectations for height gain lowered. I was down to 7.5. I consulted with doctors and that eventually lowered it to 5 cm with a max of 5.5 if everything goes smoothly which so far it has.
From reading your diary which inspired me by the way at first, I think you and I have similar ways of thinking, which I interpret to be do what you want not what every one thinks they want of you and you cannot get rewards if you're afraid of taking risks.
That being said this is no bull nose job or going to tan bed(where it appears the Guidos try to see how far can they go), you still have to thread carefully, asses the risks and figure out how that will affect your personal goals, not just during recovery but also post recovery. After the frames and then nails come out I want to put LL behind me and never look back. I don't ever want to have to constantly deal with complications from this or ever wear lifts again. I want to continue my life and do the things that I do best.
also if my personal opinion of you matters to you at all, I think you're a good looking guy(maybe a couple notches better looking than me, no homo).
You should lose the lifts and fix the leg.

100% correct.
This surgery is individual but there are basic rules to keep in mind. Your tibia should never be longer than your femur ever as it ruins your bio mechanics. Initial height is also very important when deciding what to lengthen. A guy who is 165 cm naturally has a smaller everything than a guy who is 175 cm. Therefore can't lengthen as much without putting significantly more stress on his body which may or may not lead to permanent complications.
Yeah agreed in terms of perspectives, it depends on what makes you feel good. And i can only talk for my self, if im gonna break my legs and go through all this i dont think is good less than 7cms. That is just me thou. About complications and recovery, i think is bull , nothing is proven in terms of complications and how much you lengthen, too many factors involve. And about recovery yes it will take long to recover no matter what, the mpre u lengthen the more it will take. But to me im not gonna plan a trip to Bahamas and not go to the beach, you know what i mean!? You dont hve to be me you just do what you want homie lol.... the same as right now im on a diet and sometimes i have a cheat day and eat all the f..uck i want... that is how i am and you people do what u want... if you benefit from what i say fine and if not also fine, im not here to debate or argue with anyone about anything 
love u all.. btw, moat people i know who want to do LL are real pussys, and don't do the work that is necesary to do to come out as a champ post LL
