Brief (psychotic*) update:
Everything is going well. I did xrays 3 weeks ago and the callous was entering the bulbous stage where the callous is way thicker/swollen than the original bone. My walking gait is 90% back to normal. I "can" run, but I am waiting another few weeks before I exert a lot more pressure on my bones like that. I'm healing way way better than I ever expected, and I'm very happy about my journey.
*here's the psychotic part: I want to go back to do more. I am saving up for summer 22 to do tibias and have my rod removed at the same time. Why? Because f*ck it, let's get this sh*t. Let's get this sh*t, let's get this sh*t. Yeeeeeeeeeeh. Seriously at 5'9.5 I am very happy, but I know I can be even happier at 5'11-6'. This is absolutely crazy and if I did this it would be for no other reason than a crazy power trip. My god it feels good. It feels good being incrementally taller, it feels good knowing I can get taller. I love the way my legs look now. In spite of everything I previously said or did, I really wish I did at least 7.5cm. After seeing my healing progress, you will and you can heal. Please don't go crazy and try 8-10cm. That's brutal. But 7cm and less? Absolutely.

I'm 30 years old in the US. I went to a cheap state school and majored in something that pays me a ton of money for very little work.

damn you win 
Sincerely happy for your awesome recovery. We may cross paths in the summer of '22 
. It's either gonna be with Dr Inan or Dr Buldu. Both of their patients stay at the same hotel though
Congrats on the recovery. Has anyone noticed the new height?

Only people very close to me, and at my previous heights. Family, roommates, and close friends - yes. Gym people at my old height - yes.
Dates have also been fruitful.

Is it tech related?
Hey PerfectBody! Apologies for not getting back to you all this time - I rarely check my notifications on this site and had a lot of travelling this past month. Your recovery sounds very promising, SO happy for you man! Very impressed with your motivation and dedication. Please be careful and make sure your femurs are healthy again and that you are 100% able to do more on tibias before you pull the trigger on anything
It is true, I want to feel taller than I am right now. the majority of my male friends and family are taller than me (my father was 6ft) and it has started to f*ck with me even more once I moved to London and experienced the value people put on height in the west (I am from North Africa). Studies after studies show 85th percentile in 20-29 year old males in height at 183cm and 90th percentile at 184.9cm. I am already at 178-179cm naturally and tbh it would be really cool to be in the top 15% for height. That is the reason why I only want to go for 4-5cm. My thought process is that doing less will get me the best of both worlds - be legitimately tall and at the same time try to limit complications (short or long term) to the maximum. You said it yourself brother, you'd be really content at 5'11-6' and there is absolutely no reason to go for more unless height is the only factor you find important in life. The third reason why I am being conservative in the lengthening is the fact that I will be done with studying and will hopefully start work ~September 2022 so that gives me around 4 months to go ahead with the procedure. Let me know what you think. My english is not on point so please let me know if you don't understand something I wrote!
Enough talking about me, how are you? Has your gait improved since last month? How about your running? (would really be amazing if you could send me a little video of your current gait so I can more or less know what to expect 5 months after the procedure is done. If possible, of course). Also, would you recommend me booking more PT sessions than what's included in Dr Buldu's pack during distraction period or is doing 4 hours of daily stretching individually enough? Are you still doing PT sessions now?
Again, thanks a lot for all this precious information you are giving, very grateful and taking this as an opportunity to gather as much info as I can before I go ahead for the procedure. I might ask you more questions in the future if that's okay with you. If so, I'll pm you Have a great day my man
@PerfectBody: just going to hijack your post for a bit mate, I know you're a legend and you want mind 
Peeps: Just arrived in Istanbul Turkey
Seeing one of the teams Monday (because my flight was delayed and I missed the Thursday slot).
First impressions: Istanbul is a lovely city. I had a would and a snoop past TZL suites and the hospital near that.
Hospitals look state of the art/ high end so I wouldn't worry about that. The whole place looks super legit.
I'm keen to see any peeps that are doing the process here now. You can cure your boredom and I can know a little more of what to expect win win!
Getting cooler FYI bring those jackets!
Cheers lads/ladets. Cheers PerfectBody!
