Quote from: Sweden on December 02, 2013, 11:46:36 PMFunny about the pants. All of my old pants still fit just like they did before. Maybe I lost too much muscles bc the ones that were tight still feel little loose.
Good to hear someone who can admit that those who are taller has taller sitting height instead of claiming they are "within proportions" after lengthening 20cm. It bugs the hell out of me how blind some people seem to be.
My greatest memory was when I walked with Harry on crutches for the first time on toes and I was more than 2 heads taller than him! 
Sweden, what inseam do you wear? It is interesting you did 3 inches and do not need longer pants. I did 2.5 inches and my 30” inseam pants just barely cover my socks when I am in shoes, I need 32”s now.
My calf muscles are continuously getting larger just like yours, I am curious how big they will get. I am sure you saw craig49's calves when he visited the guesthouse? They were gigantic! I wonder if mine will get big like his.
I remember my first time standing up and moving around after frame removal. I felt tall since most other LL patients were equal or shorter than me and all of the Indian staff was a lot shorter than me. I was also at eye level with Dr. Sarin who I thought looked a lot taller than me before LL. Now that I am back in the US I feel pretty average now but I am a lot happier than I was before. I feel I am in a similar situation with you as far as proportions - I want another LL to be above average height but I know my torso will be really short compared to others at around 6'.
Sysop/Apotheosis proportions
I was not able to get a clear analysis of sysop's proportions when he visited my room for couple of minutes (I did not know he was Apotheosis at the time) but other people I spoke to in the guest house that he did visit with for awhile said he looked strange. Zero told me when he sat down his legs went way out and were crazy long. 7cmwithsarin thought his arms looked short and Captain America told me he thought his torso looked noticeably shorter than it should be when he was sitting across from him and his hands looked like they belonged to a stocky 5’7” guy and not a 6’3” guy. Captain America also pointed out he seemed to always make sure his shirt was hanging down like he was insecure of his porportions. Personally, I did not pick up on his arms being short or hands being small and I could not see his torso as he had his shirt out and was standing the whole time I saw him.
I remember reading some of the stuff posted by sysop/apotheosis that was just ridiculous like his thread "A Treatise On Torso Length" where he made a claim along the lines that he has seen 5'2" guys with a similar torso length as guys who were 6'3" and in his thread "Why Torso Length Doesn't Matter, But Arm Length Does" that your wingspan is really what limits how far you can lengthen. Torso length and width most definitely matters just as much as your wingspan. Even if your torso length is similar to someone who is taller, the taller person is probably wider and and proportionately larger overall.
Today I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning and I was sitting in the chair when he came in and he told me I looked taller. I don't think he saw me on the way in. His height is about 5'6" and he has been my dentist since I was a little kid. I am surprised he picked up on it immediately when my other family did not at all. I just gave him a puzzled look and and said "really?" and he dropped it.
Calic - External Tibias - Dr. Sarin - 2013 - My LL Experience
Hi Calic; how was the circumstances in the guesthouse? Was it bad like the stories they've been telling us?

I have read all of the Dr. Sarin diaries on old forum and LL Forum and regularly spoke to the other patients while I was there and can confirm they are a fairly accurate depiction of what goes on at the guest house.
Everyone who had LL with Dr. Sarin had a unique experience. Some had a very difficult time and others like me had a very easy time which should be expected for any LL doctor. Not everyone will have a good experience with a good doctor or a bad experience with a bad doctor.
Overall, I would say Dr. Sarin does care for his patients and is skilled enough that nobody who goes to him will end up permanently crippled. I did feel the patient care there was rocky at times but nobody is careless enough to let anything life threatening happen to you.
I am still in contact with many of the patients I had LL with who’s condition was not great when leaving so I will need to wait and see how everything turns out for them but I do not think any of them will suffer from any permanent problems.
Thanks for that, Calic. I think there's a lot of anti-Sarin propaganda on these forums and it's difficult to distinguish the truth from the rubbish when new accounts appear from nowhere. They could be genuine patients or they could be Crazy+6 being the scumbag he is.
I calic, what about the hygiene and good in the guesthouse? Do they treat u well?

Hygiene was good. Floors were swept and mopped daily, bed sheets were changed every couple of days, and you could call the caretakers to change your sheets or clean up any messes any time.
I assume you were asking about the food? It was good - most of it was some variation of chicken and rice and sometimes pasta. Fresh fruit, flavored yogurt, or a small chocolate bar was sometimes provided as well. The menu remained the same each week so it did get monotonous and definitely needed some variety and stuff added to it.
There were plenty of local places that you could order food from for free delivery although it was expensive, the same or more than US prices. Dominos and McDonalds were good and had the option of placing orders online. Pizza hut, dunkin donuts, and many other places were easy to order from and they spoke English.
The caretakers were always nice and did not intentionally cause any trouble with anyone. Sometimes they did lack some common sense with methods of cleaning or doing things which resulted in a couple of good laughs or frustration but they did not mean any harm.
Dr. Sarin and the managers were generally nice and respectful towards everyone but there were some incidents where they did not treat patients the best which you can read about in mmm_native's diary.
Yep, food 
.
Thanks btw!
Oh, how long has it been since the frames has been removed and are you able to walk (normal)?
Calic had frame removal in July.
My qualified guess would be that he is walking close to perfect by now.

I just looked in my jeans I mostly wear. They are Hugo Boss 33/34 so 33 wide and 34 long.
They were too long from the beginning but just a little tight I remember. They were some kind of exclusive so I had to have them and I figured I was going to be taller so why not.
I usually wear 32/32.
Today the jeans are loose fit but get stuck on my huge calfs when I try to take them off. They are still too long so I need to fold them.
Not sure if that looks stupid(?)!
It's difficult to build back my huge thighs that made the jeans tight.
Today I pressed 100kg/250pounds in the leg press but it did hurt in my left knee after 4 tries.
If try more than 40kg/100pounds in the leg extension my patellar tendon hurt real bad. I'm thinking of trying to eat Tramadol one day and try to press myself to the maximum of what my muscles can take.
I had x-rays last week and my doctor(head orthopedic surgeon of Swedens orthopedic Center in Uppsala, so he has to fly across the country to see me) told me that as from 1 of January I am fully healed and only need PT to work on my flexibility in my ankles. So I was discharged from any follow up now.
He said my bones are around 95% fully healed and everything looks very good. It looks like one of the most successful leg lengthening he has seen.
He has mostly met patients from Ukraine (Dr Kutsenko probably) with disastrous outcome. They need several surgeries when they come back to Sweden and can never run ever again.
That's why he told me back in August I should be prepared to never be able to run ever again.
It's nice to know you did good at Dr Sarins place.
I could actually consider Dr Sarin for my femurs too if I decide to do it some day.
Hey i m not trying to be rude or something but i don't know what you guys see in Dr Sarin .
you guys were there at the guest house for a long time and you guys know what exactly happend .
i mean about the complications and sufferng but still you guys recommend Dr Sarin.
i m that mongoloid guy from india .
only you two are in favour of Dr Sarin out of all the other patients.
i mean i respect your opinion.
If you two guys are well and recovered dosen't mean he is a good doctor.
What about all the other patients who are still suffering like
the canadain guy who did cross lengthening
the australian guy who did 9 cm in 3 months with massive ballerina
and many other patients ... anyway i wrote what i felt is right .
Dr Sarin is not a good doctor at all , he has no moral , no ethics.
and most importantly he is no qualified to perform Limb lengthening surgery.
he is just doing it for the money .
