Quote from: Jamesy998 on February 16, 2021, 10:31:27 AMQuick update regarding my goals. I have decided not to pass the 8cm safe limit. I went into this surgery with many ideas and many unrealistic goals. The first initial surgery humbled me and made me realise just how serious this all is. Reason being why doing more than 8cm will bring me no real benefit in terms of height, 1cm does not account to that much but what it will do is possibly bring on more complications and certainly make the recovery a whole lot longer than it needs to be.
Dr Buldu agrees with this. At the consultation back in December he compared it to this analogy.
Take for example at the beginning stages of lengthening, he compared it to a car and said that the difference between say 2 and 3cm was a car going 30-40kph but when you reach 8cm and decide to go for 9, he said it is like going from 200kph to 230kph. I do not need to explain to anyone here as we already know the dangerous limits. 8cm is fine by me and will be removing the frames in a month, and staying in Istanbul for another 5 weeks to get back on my feet a little before travelling back home.
That's fine, feel how your body reacts. I'm sure you'll know what is better for you hitting next cms. Every LL is very individual.

That was my initial thought. I feel since many get 8cm i could reach it too. Don't mind my overreaction with that More user, its just that nothing shows I am having a bad recovery and then he goes on about a bad nail insertion as well as myself being the next meck, a guy who did 18cm.
Quote from: Jamesy998 on February 16, 2021, 12:50:52 PMMeck overdid the lengthening against everyone else's advice. I am doing 8cm which is being done by a large portion of LLers.
You are brainwashed by dr Baldu's team , God bless you

I don't mind about brawls in the forum, I'm not here to compete with anyone.
Anyway the best suggestion I can give you is to just feel your body, as you said there's not a precise rule so it's right to have a goal but be prepared to do even something more or something less than it. Your body is the only one who can have the last word about it, you'll decide it during next weeks. 8cm is a very reasonable goal and you'll be satisfied for sure.

Cheers for the advice mate.
LL is very very individual..i haven't done it yet but hoping to do it in the future for sure....but as far as i have researched on this forum from diaries and google including youtube i can say unless and untill u have srsly unrealistic goals (8cm in 1.5mnths) and crazy lengthening goals (more than 10cm in one segment) u shld be fine with minimal complications or no complications at all..at the end of the day there are many factors playing into this like time, money, goal but as long as u try to be on the safe side neglecting tht greedy side of urs u will do good....and try to neglect on this forum.

As I previously mentioned in my post I was humbled immediately after the surgery and my goals have been getting more and more realistic as I am lengthening.
Quote from: Jamesy998 on December 27, 2020, 12:22:01 PMHi Everyone, I will start by saying that I had wanted to get this surgery done for two years now and I will be as honest as I possibly can with my diary without any promotions or hidden pains in my diary, I will say it as it is.
My starting height: 163
Weight: 63kg
Caucasian male age 22
My goal is as much as my body will safely allow.
Day one, Surgery was on 23/12/2020 at 1:30pm. Before this they got my x-ray and also took my bloods,ect. I will be staying in Istanbul for the entire duration of the lengthening period. I have rented out a decent enough 1 bedroom apartment and the landlord is also quite friendly.
Anyway, as I was being brought into the surgery room I was thinking of just telling them to cancel and leaving altogether but I still went ahead with it. My surgery took 3hrs and 20 minutes as Dr Buldu had said and as I came out the anaesthesia had me shaking like hell, I was more or less blacked out for a few hrs. Immediately after the surgery I was regretting everything, I don’t mind people knowing this but I was tearing up when I looked down at my broken legs asking myself if my life before LL was even that bad. The pain was there obviously, it is not agonising but more like 5/10 pain that is always there, did not go away for me, not even with pain killers.
24/12/2020 Second day I took my first steps with Dr. Buldu, progress was horrible I thought but a few steps after a surgery like this was something. As I sat laid back on my bed Dr. Halil assured me that everything had gone well despite my pessimistic view on the internet whole situation and that I would get better day by day. That day I stood up only once and practised other leg movements on my bed.
25/12/2020 - Easily the worst Christmas anyone can wish for, the pain did not go away all day. Personally for me it was 6/10 and even though I did try and get some sleep it was only for a moment until the pain woke me up again. Stood up twice that day and also had my catheter taken out and got given this bottle to leak in which was actually rather convenient and easy to use.
26/12/2020 - Better day out of the rest, I also went to take the number two as well and which was bloody exhausting, but the standing up afterwards is the hardest part as anyone doing LON Femurs can relate. I also walked much more and was feeling a little better than before, the regret was starting to fade away. I had a normal nights sleep also which helped rest my mind.
27/12/2020 - Today I woke in the worst possible mood. Having a nice dream does not help when you wake up a cripple who cannot even take a dump without assistance, I was gloomy all morning and got a bit teary every now and again too. Used the nurse button for some pain killers as the pain was still there, (just so you all know, literally no nurses can speak english here so use a translator for any conversation you want to have) I was especially down this morning because my Knee ROM was worse than yesterday which concerned me but it went back to like it was yesterday with a bit of walking and going to the toilet. Dr. Buldu came in earlier today and he was quite satisfied with my progress. Not as fast as some but nice and average he said. Tomorrow I get out to go home which is a relief because the hospital is over the top depressing. The food is terrible too, not in the country but the hospital.
I will get on with my day now watch a movie or two and update later tomorrow after my arrival home. I might not update as much because it is a long and depressing process.
