Quote from: PerfectBody on July 06, 2021, 07:24:47 AMI'm well at the end of my goal in the first recovery stage, 3 days after removal. I heavily regret this. I don't care about my height anymore - so I guess my height dysphoria is cured.
I want to sleep sideways, I want my family and friends. I miss comfortably relaxing, working out, running, driving. It feels like these things are so fking far away.
It's 3 days after the removal (friday night) and I feel like my body is deteriorating. Hands and arms hurt, legs (obviously) hurt, spine is fked up, no ass. This procedure is fking awful.
I regret this.
Thanks for the honest opinion on the surgery. Hope you get better. Road to recovery is coming. Honestly this surgery should not be taken lightly and only a last resort.

Personally I feel that it was - I've tried everything in life to find genuine happiness, from within rather than chasing hedonistic highs. A lot of my depression/sadness stemmed from my stature. 3 years of therapy, nice car, great job, friends, family. None of these were enough.

Maybe. It's definitely not for everyone.
If it can help you somehow,i had a friend who did LL with Buldu 6 months ago or so,and his condition is improving day after day,like a month after frames removal he was able to walk quite good,and now he walk something like 4km a day,ROM was a bit after surgery but he is getting it back every day,almost at 100 degrees nowadays
Even though precise or stryde would definitely bring way more comfort,in the end,you break your legs and after lenghtening your muscles and all soft tissues will need months to grew properly,to either methods you use,in the end it's quite the same in term of recovery,even much better than precise at least you can walk post op
Only good from here hopefully man,wish you all the best,imo the worst is over
Thanks for the words of encouragement. How much did your friend lengthen?
Hey,he lengthened 7.5cm,starting height around 164cm,he wasn't that much consistent with physiotherapy during the lenghtening and after removal fixators,after the surgery his ROM was really bad about 30-40 degrees,but with proper physio he is recovering pretty fast
And during the lenghtening,he didn't even really walk he was afraid to damage the nails somehow,but during consolidation phase he was able to walk properly,although his gait wasn't the best,it takes time,and watching how stryde patients are walking during consolidation,it's quite the same

After 6 months if its 100° knee flexion that's mean your friend in trouble. He may need quadricepsplasty to improve knee ROM
This guy lengthened past conservative/safe margins, and cant bend 6 months later. Not an encouraging example man.
Hey mate, how’s recovery going now? Any improvement? Are you walking without aids at this stage? You should have a full recovery given the amount you lengthened so keep working hard man and you will be normal before you know it!
He is doing fine overall,his ROM keep improving day after day,but as i said he was a bit lazy regarding his physiotherapy,even post op,since he start to actually do stretching and exercises on a daily basis a month or so after consolidation he made huge improvements
