Hey how are you?

Would like to know if everything is ok

Just read this diary and its very inspiring... I would like to know of your recovery, as we all know many doctors can give you height, but not many can guarantee a full recovery without common problems such as x-legs, knee pain, along with all other after lengthening complications. Reason I am asking is because, it is recommended to do 6/7 cm max, and you did 8cm, so I am wondering to see if its safe for me to do the same as I am currently at 165cm too.

Also, are you looking on doing the tibias? if so, what method are you looking to lengthen with? cause LON, LATN, and Internal methods are known to leave permanent knee pain because of how the nail is being inserted. 

But great diary, can tell you graduated - well informed report

This doctor isn't good according to Cooper. Read his well-informed diary. There are other bad cases like Musicmakers. 2 years and not yet recovered, malfunction of nails, fractures... Most patients have problems. Most of them lie.

lluser / ppatient / llgazer , welcome back! we missed you..

I will definitely need to look into the other diaries... But then again, its hard to tell which doctor is good, and which one is not, cause there's something good & bad about every doctor, just have to try and balance the good and bad diaries and then decide. My only concern is why did the owner of this diary stop posting if he was doing so well?

Other common LL problems are losing ability to run, no explosive power, pain in various places, if you read a lot of diaries on here, you will see the problems people normal have.

This by far is the best and most inspiring diary I have read. It was well written brief and extremely informative. It breaks my heart he stop posting

Hello Everyone,

Bohemia here again. I have not updated in quite a while, but would like to raise awareness about how I fair currently.

Today, 8/2/16, means I underwent the treatment approximately 11 months ago on 8/25/15, so I can reasonably discuss my healing at large.

Hear the specifics in the video below:



As a summary, I have no complaints whatsoever, and live completely normally. No pains, no repairs, no tragedies. I literally live my normal life day to day, and honestly, I never think about limb lengthening, and kind of erased it from my history. I pretend I simply have always been 5'9"-ish.

Two unique experiences to share, besides what I posted in the video:

1. I recall as a smaller man, I would look at a tall man and sort of wonder what that felt like. And just yesterday a guy walked past me and I felt that same wonder again—like "cool, that dude must enjoy his height, good for him, I will never know what that feels like." But later I stood and walked across the room and found myself next to the guy, and he and I looked at each other eye to eye!

In other words, the fact that I lengthened my limbs three inches and stand taller has not 100% unravelled through my psychology yet. My image of myself physically has not fully re-oriented itself to my new physique. haha

2. At about June I specifically felt the gate of my walk transition from clunky and mechanical to bouncy and fluid—the way it felt prior to the surgery. I suspect at that point my bone osteogenesis finally connected or completed or strengthened in some manner. I could literally *feel* the exact crossover from the janky clunky Edward Scissorhands walk to the springy hoppy athletic walk. Then once that occurred, for about 2 months I underwent a smoothing-out phase, or a working-the-kinks-out phase, where once every two weeks I felt a very specific ache at a spot along my femur, and then in 2-3 days the tension popped, and that area felt wholly normal again as if surgery never took place.

So all in all, I live completely normally except I do not lift weights or exercise besides a ride on my bike every day for fun.

At this current moment, I feel very happy about this procedure and can safely encourage others to do it too.

Great video. I know exactly what you mean about the whole beta male thing-it sucks.
I only just read your diary today, but I'm glad everything has worked out for you.

So great to hear! Only question - is there a reason you don't lift weights (pain?) or exercise as you maybe did previously?
