Does lengthening rate actually matter in terms of 'total recovery time needed'?

Edit Post

Quote from: Body Builder on May 11, 2023, 08:01:28 AMNot that easy as some people think it is, especially if you have an internal rod during lengthening. Also many doctors don't perform it if you have already lengthen more than 4-5 cm and then you have preconsolidation.
The best way is to avoid it and it can only be done by close surveillance with x rays and faster  lengthening rate when callus is becoming too strong.

how often should x rays be taken? every week at least?

Usually every 2 weeks is the standard.

Quote from: p00293 on May 11, 2023, 07:49:03 AM3.2cm is a pathetic performance and is indicative of nothing more of a weak will and no determination. Someone being a doctor doesn't mean they don't have those traits either - you can be book smart and yet still have no ability to handle adversity. It's the worst performance I've ever seen posted on here and so deserved to be called out once he started chatting sh*t.

Pathetic performance? You have no idea what this surgery is like. Getting to even 1cm takes a lot of grit and determination!

When you get your legs broken, you'll then understand so please less of the nasty expression of words!

I'm currently 1.5cm and it's definitely not easy.

Lol.

I'm currently lengthening now, so I know exactly what it's like. 3.2cm is absolutely laughable, it's the worst lengthening amount ever seen in the history of this forum.

Not everyone is special and has justifications. Some are just weak with no tolerance to any adversity. Mr 3.2 is one of those people.

No, 1cm doesn't require a lot of "grit and determination". 1cm, hell even 3cm, you still have reserve slack in the muscles and tendons. Anyone who only gets 3cm is a weak pussy who bailed as soon as they felt the first bit of pain or tightness, end of story. Why else do you think literally everyone else managed better?

What method of lengthening are you using?

This isn't a competition though. Good for you that you manage pain and tightness better but I don't think that if someone can't it means he is weak or what not... Especially since the guy wanted 4-5cms max.  Atleast his recovery will be excellent (unlike anyone who did 8cms+ who either cant even ealk normally even 1 year after)

Gnail (so a clicking nail very similar to his).

No, no, I wholly reject this idea that 'everyone has a special snowflake individual experience and so all opinions are as valid as everyone elses'. There is something called 'persistence' and 'willpower', and some people are just wholly lacking in it. Everyone has bad days. Hell, I've had bad days. But it's how you respond to those troubles that matters. This guy just whined and whined and stopped when the clicking got a bit too much for him. And then had the audacity to pull the 'experience' card in this thread, when he doesn't actually have any experience, except of course, the experience of being a quitter.

Just think about it. His grandad went off to war, and a few thousand years ago his ancestors were living in caves and hunting rhinos and mammoths for food. What do you think they'd have to say about some fa-ggot who can't even turn his leg a few degrees after paying 60,000 euros for a surgery?

Why do you think it’s a question of “grit and determination”?
Limiting the lengthening to 3.2 cm can be a strategic move in terms of optimizing long term athletic ability. Minimizing the probability of complications from the Achilles’ tendon, Fibular, ITB, general muscle degradation etc.

It potentially opens the door for lengthening the other segment with a modest amount as well in the future after ensuring everything is has healed perfectly for the current segment.

Together you then end up with a combined potential amount of 6-7.5 cm gained height with higher probability of strong athletic performance. This could mean a much higher chance of enjoying your new height for the rest of your life. Rather than trying to speed run 8 cm with maximum speed on one segment. I can guarantee you that you will not get to enjoy that height nearly as much.

Because he said himself in his thread the goal was 5cm and expressed disappointment he only got to 3.2cm. What's with the incessant need to try and justify the unjustifiable on here? Some guys are weak and pathetic, that's life!

He'd probably be better off transitioning to a woman. They'd only have to remove the dck, his balls never existed to begin with.

Because your argument was that anyone who did X amount of lengthening is Y bad thing. Which is illogical. And why are you trying to put yourself above some random guy on a limb lengthening forum calling him all kinds of slurs? Granted, this place does attract personality disorders like a super magnet attracts iron.
