DoingItForMe's Precice 2 Internal Femurs with Dr. Paley

Quote from: YellowSpike on July 28, 2017, 03:21:57 PMWhat you're experiencing is certain muscles (glute medius) not activating properly because your body tries to avoid the pain caused by the screw near the hip area. Once you get that taken out and get back to squatting/deadlifting like I have, your walking will normalize and you'll get your ass back (my ass has actually never looked better lol, I can deadlift around 400 lbs now).

I'm almost certain that this is the reason as well. Right now, I walk kind of like a cowboy unless I purposefully close my legs while walking. But if I do, the screws at the head of my femur hurt me, so my "natural" gait now is to try to not walk with my thighs close together. It looks weird, and people have commented on it. But when I walk with my legs closed, they say it looks normal again. Paley also suggested removing the screws. I am contemplating doing it.

Paley replies to my emails the same day, but he only does it during a certain time of his day when he's not doing surgery or with patients. I wouldn't suggest emailing him if you aren't a patient of his already or already paid for a deposit or asking to do consultation. He's a very very busy guy. Even with his own patients, it can take a whole day before he replies to you.

How I'm paying for it: I'm self-made. I started coding apps after I read some poor person's autobiography about how he made millions from coding apps.

DIFM, if you don't mind, if money wasn't a concern, why did you choose 8cm in the femurs ($90k), which is much more difficult to recover from than 6cm, instead of doing Simultaneous Lengthening of tibias+femurs (staggered 3 weeks apart) for $180k?

DIFM. I read your diary, congratz on everything, Im glad you found the key to your happiness. Very happy for you.

I just want to say that, as a 5'9 guy who isn't ugly. I cant date girls for  . I'm not a millionare but I am not poor either. You described your dating life in your mid 20s at 5'6, it was wayyyy better than my dating life lol. =/. My love life is practically non existent.

Do you recommend Paley? You mentioned you did not like his medical ethics, can you elaborate on this? If a patient paid 100k for this invasive procedure, how can the doctor be unethical about it?

Also, did your parents know about the procedure? Were they supportive? Did you hire someone to help you during your 2 month lengthening and 2 month consolidation after you went home? Or did you go through this all by yourself?

I think if I were to go through this, I might have to do it alone. I cant bear having my parents know I am doing this, it would hurt them...

Thanks

Being taller in regards of "dating life" helps more than what you can describe, but that is ONLY if height is the missing piece and the one thing you reckon they complain about. I did it all alone, trying to walk perfectly before the end of the month where i'll end up meeting relatives again...Down the stairs is still a problem and a possible "tell"..rest I think I can complain on an injury (not waddling like I did before but still takes time after you stand up from a chair a couple of seconds to walk 60-70 %) On the 6 months mark btw. As long as you're into video games - social video games / netflix I think you will be fine, It definitely helps having other LL partners as well to push yourself etc. Hope this helps blacksheepwall.

Tremendous diary, I like how everyone is getting surprised by how big of a factor money is. Extremely important to mention AGAIN that only do this surgery if you have everything else checked. I also regret lengthening around 6 cm...should of gone with 4+4 for mechanical and proportions. I don't want to get taller than I already have become...luckily my upper body supports another 4cm tibia, but probably not wingspan. If I do tibia then maybe it's possible to take away 2 cm from femurs at the same time?
I wonder who is richer lol, you sublimely mention that you have a Bugatti then you definitely beat me. I like that you're also humble and only paying 10k for a trip, first class ticket alone sometimes cost that much I'll definitely keep my eye out for an Asian with long femurs + Model looking babe when I go to the caribbean,  unless you fly Private of course.

Take away 2 cm? There is absolutely no reason to do that, it will cause for sure problems with the soft tissues as they'll become overlengthened if the bone is shortened and no respectable doctor will do something like that.

Also it is stupid to want another LL and at the same time to want to reduce one segment by 2cm.
LL is not a game and you can't add or lessen a few cm just for fun.
I can't understand how you are rich withoun having common sense in something like LL.
Maybe you heired the money.

"Being taller in regards of "dating life" helps more than what you can describe". How do you know that? You still haven't recovered.

Good reply BodyBuilder, hope I can manage 3-4 on my tibs then. Would be cool to see how you are in regards of proportions as you've been talking about a second LL for a long time, what is stopping you?

I haven't recovered? Been having sex with multiple different people and literally gone dating/clubbing almost daily since around Christmas time...I am by no means back to 100% but biking and walking somewhat normal now? Only thing that is really bad is walking DOWN the stairs.

My proportions are relatively good but to be even better I need femur LL because now my tibias look likg while my femurs not.
So with another LL both my segments will look proportionate compare to each other and although my torso will look short for my feet, my shoulder width will help to look ok.
I know that nked I'd look a little weird but nothing too much. With clothes on I'd look perfect, much better that with my initial height.

The only reason I still don't do femur LL is money.
I believe that in about 2 years I'll have all the money I need (40-50k euros) but unfortunately now I don't have even the half.
If I had the money I'd do LL next week. I am very determined but unfortunately not rich enough.
