Bilateral Internal Tib/Fib and Bilateral Internal Femurs with Dr. Mahboubian.

Hi Everyone,

I just had my bilateral internal Tib/Fib operation with Dr. M on 2.15.18 and my bilateral Femurs operation is scheduled next month. I’d like to share my experience with everyone who’s interested in pursuing their dream of becoming taller. I’ll provide more information soon.

Do you mind sharing your starting height and your height goal?

I wish you the best of luck through all this, Optimistic1.

Myloginacct,

I’ll start my journal soon and give everyone my stats. I started one on the makemetaller forum but that site seems dead so I stopped.

I’m 5’5.5. My wing span is 5’7.5. I want to lengthen 8 cm on my Tib/Fib but Dr. M said 6.5 cm is more realistic but he also said let’s see how it goes and we’ll determine this as we go.

I want to lengthen 8 cm on my femurs and Dr. M said it’s doable as femur bone generates faster than Tib/Fib bone. I want to be between between 5’10 and 5’11 at my final height. I think there might be a problem with proportion at this height and my wingspan so that’s why I’m going to watch it very closely. I’ll be buying a lot of cloths and looking at myself in the mirror more often to see if there’s any obvious signs of disproportionality and stop lengthening right away. It’s going to be a tough fight and I’ll try my very best. Thank you.

I wish you all the best. I have the same height and also want to do femur and tibia. But I made several mock-ups(with help of board-member Android) and I will not exceed 175cm or 5'9.. max 5cm per segment... Generally perceived as safe limit and proportion-wise "approved" ... although proportions are not the nr1 concern... A good friend of mine has almost the same sittingheight as I have, but he is 6'3(191cm)... all legs!... keep us posted

Hi Honore,

Thank you for your advise. It’s better be safe than sorry. Any extra inch I can increase in my height is a gain so I’ll be happy with what I can get. First, I have to be able to stretch probably so I can keep on lengthening.

Things are improving since the surgery but I still have this constant ache pain. Whenever I put both feet onto that floor before transferring myself to a wheelchair or walker, I feel a very strong pressure in both legs and much stronger in my left leg, the weaker one. Morning is the worst. Of course, these are without pain meds. With pain meds, I’m fine. Now, I’m trying to get the PT to come to my house as it’s extremely difficult for me to leave my house.

Did you experience this pain during your lengthening? If so, how long did it take for this to go away? Do you have any tips in dealing with it? Thank you.
