Will you do BMAC (Bone marrow aspirate concentrate)?

Congrats man! 7.5cm is a huge deal and you did it relatively complication free! Enjoy the new height and I believe we are around the same height now, you may even be slightly taller! Your diary and responses have been a huge help to someone like myself who is planning the surgery later this year. I hope to help and reach the community like you have.

So happy for you IFS, congrats!! I wanted to stop at 6.5cm, but I too pushed myself to between 7.2-7.5cm (the Gnail isn’t exact, but I got somewhere in there). So glad I did, and you did too. 2.75-3 inches is a huge visual gain.

Congratulations IFS!

Congrats IFS.

Can you post Xrays and can you explain how they are measured by Dr. M?

(Sunday) Day 93 Post Op - DISTRACTION COMPLETED....[7.5 cm Achieved / 3 inches Taller!]  Day 1 Consolidation/Recovery Phase

Good evening LL'ers,

Once again, thank you so much for your support and encouragement.   Honestly, don't believe I would have been as motivated within the initial 3 month distraction process if I did not have a place like this to go to, and write, and relate.   Things are changing in side me that are pretty deep for which do not have a direct relationship with height lengthening and I plan to go into more depth in future posts.  Which leads me to my next thought.  Below, I have created a list of my plans going forward for this LL venture as well as a way to assist others in their LL venture. Please review and share your thoughts:

1) I'm going to continue to post as daily as possible on my progress and experience with phase 2 consolidation and recovery
2) I'm going to create a Limb Lengthening Preparedness kit with all kinds of cohesive information and details based on my experience that will better prepare LL'ers for at least phase 1 of the journey.  Phase 2 is yet to be learned by I; but I will soon be able to finalize the preparedness kit; once I conquer that phase.
3) I plan on creating a website that is modernized and dedicated to helping those with Height Dysphoria.  This will NOT be a website that talks about how unlucky we are; but rather a website that will help bring awareness to the issue as well as directly help those in need, find a comprehensive path and resolution to a solution that works for them.

This list above may grow; but those are my objectives for now. I will update soon.

Now, onto day 1 of my consolidation.   I'm 100% CURED and can WALK PERFECTLY! ..... JUST KIDDING! lol.   I'm tighter than tight; but already I can feel some improvement...yes in just 1 day.  Less soft tissue aches and just a feeling that things are generally looser.  It's only been one day; I'll keep you posted on how the real progress goes, as weeks begin to arrive before us.   As mentioned before; I plan on posting a walking video at about 3 weeks from today.  I want to give my body a chance to cleanse it self of this cosmetic tightness that it currently is feeling.  Within 3 weeks, the muscles will begin to adjust to the stretching and things will be much looser.  I'll post that video for the community to review and hopefully it will give you some idea of what to expect.   Lastly, my next X-Rays will also come in 3 weeks. I will post those and we should see some healing of my broken bones at that point.

Thank you again community and I can't wait to keep reporting to you all.

All the best,

IFS

Ladies and Gentleman, I did it.  3 Inches has been achieved.   I now look forward to the next phase of healing and recovery.   

Thank you again for all your support and encouragement through what has been an extremely challenging and testing 3 months of my life.   I look forward to keeping you all informed regularly on my recovery.   I will plan to post a walking video after a few weeks when my tightness has subsided. I am looking forward to experiencing how the body very quickly begins to adjust to the new bone length and also how the body almost immediately provides relief to much of the physical struggles that one goes through while lengthening. I will share each step with the community.


Thank you again and feel free to reach out with questions or feedback.

A quote I live by:  "Make the BEST of what you have and Make what you have, the BEST"

All the Best,

IFS

Well, you can't say this to him.  His starting height was quite short, unfortunately, and he can definitely consider to do another surgery.  If he thinks that way, that is completely normal.  However, it is completely up to him whether he will do another surgery or not.  In any case, I am happy for him and will support him with my heart. 
I think you are more addicted to height.  You are already 6'-6'1" and still want to be taller because you want to be a beast and overtowering everyone.  Well, if that is what you want, that is fine.  But you can't say that somebody who is shorter than you is addicted to height or CLL.
