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!
Congrats and good luck! Aim for the sky bud, and stay positive

Hi OP. How much did procedure cost you?
How long after externals taken out can u walk without crutches?
15k Euros
About 3-4 weeks for me. Took me 2-3 months to look more 'normal'
Could we see how is your walking currently? I really hate my height but stories of people recovering from LL keeps me going

Go to live life taller's instagram page, I'm on there somewhere. They said I did 5.5 but it was only 5. Whoever is in charge of their social media is weird; just ignore it.
If you hate your height, just do it. Please don't live a life full of bullsh1t and regret. It's a really difficult process but believe me when I say if I had to do it again, I would have done it ASAP. 5'9 >> 5'7. I'm going to do it again to hit 5'11 out of pure greed. Tibia will hurt a ton more, but fk it yolo

congrats man. When do you plan to do tibia? Will you be going to Buldu again?
hey perfectbody, why will tibia hurt more? the general consensus here and my personal experience is that femur hurts a lot more than tibia with externals..
also when are you planning to have your tibia done?
btw our gains would almost be similar,, i am doing 4.85cm on femur and tibia.. my final height will only be 5'8" though,,

Probably spring-summer 2022. I want to remove my implants and do tibias simultaniously.

Tibias hurt more 1000%. Nobody who did it had an easy time, and I am really afraid of this . Do 6-7cm femur, 5-6 tibia. You will regret doing less.
With LON Tibias you can at least sleep on the side. With that monorail on femurs you can't.
Sleeping on the back as someone who usually never does it is torture. I even forced myself to sleep on the stomach if possible, that is how much I needed it.
The greatest pain people experience is after waking up from each surgery.
After that it's not like you live through each day with an unbearable pain level.
This is why for me LON Tibias has to be the easier method theoretically. One last reason is that I would not aim for the max length on tibias, in order to keep the proper ratio between F/T after two LLs. So there should not be nerve pain that is solely due to a high amount of distraction.
Im day 5 into tibia its crazy I am so broken just the whole thing. DREADING going to hotel without nurses. As soon as I put feet on ground try to walk everything goes black and I start to lose consciousness.
