Dr. Monegal - Two stage internal Femur - Fitbone - Yagen

Edit Post

Greetings,

I live about 700 km from Barcelonalona. I am going to do the lengthening the second week of 16th January.

I have been following the forum and I think it is the moment to clim my everest. I have been trainning for lengthening one month now, and spend time just for myself is incredible, I have a goal, and I am going to reach with the help of Dr. Monegal.

I am going to do the surgery in two stage, first in January, second in April. Thank you so much to Glenn, Bohemia, musicmaker, They tryed to give all the pros and contra of the surgery in one stage or in two.

I had a meeting with Dr. Monegal 9-nov, and he showed me a video of people walking just finished the distration stage of one leg without crutches and for me was awesome.

The planning is following, just one week on the hospital and after I can come back to my home, It is a simple plan. Let see.

I am between 35-40 years old and my height is 1,70 cm and my goal is between 6,5 and 8 cm more.

I dont have any problems with girls, dates or similar. Just want to reach my personal goal.

I think the ratio risk/profit is low, for me is not different that if you have a ski or motorcicly accident.

I attached a picture of my femurs.

From march to november is about 8 month, is a long time for bone consolidation. you need about 200 days for full consolidation, you need to improve your I have the same question than SAD.

¿did you do one leg or two? ¿had you any problem with consolidation? If you started to walk unaid in July, 3 month post surgery, do you thing that your leg have improved well?

I know that LL is different than an accident, but you have to spend a lot of time in recovery. There are a lot of videos of Sweeden 9 mothns after surgery, I know that every person is different.

Some more questions, how was the pain? when do you think that you could drive your own car?

there are other patient like Bohemia or Glenn that they have just finished the distration phase, you can talk with them in order to check your recovery.

I would like to know how is your recovery, please try to write a few words more.

Cheers AimHigh

Ok, I will have one week to talk with Dr Monegal at hospital.

Musicmaker, what kind of things did you carry to the hospital? Sport clothes? Crutches?  ....

Cual es el kit básico?

D-5.

This next weekend I will do the surgery. Now I am focus on streching!!! I have a lot of doubts about pain, how I will be able to walk with crutches......

Besides I have learnt that my main goal of 7-8 cm have changed, there is not a goal of time or cm, just a deal with my body. I want to listen my body.

This is my original flexibility, two months ago I could not reach the toes.

Thank you buddy, this is a mental game, I always think in Apotheosis and the quote of Gleen "pain will go away and height stay with you"

@Ozymandias

I will be one week at hostpita, one week at home, and 16 days after surgery  I will try to go to the office, my job is seated and I dont have to move, I dont need to go away from my office. I asked to other patients and he told me, the first two weeks are the worst.

No, I am not planing to try some weight-bearing on the operated limb, but I will follow the suggestion of the doctor. I think you have to be very carefully because the most important problem is when you broke the nail if you fall down.

Keep on streching!!!

The surgery was excellent. I cant remenber anything Doctor Monegal showed me pictures of the broken leg, and when I woke up I thougnt that it was a dream.

I met wit two patients that they had to erase the nails or similiar,

Level of pain 1/10, I can move my toes.

I ate at nigh a omelet and a soup, after I felt a little dizzybut in 10 minutes I felt ok again.

I slept well but I had no sleep but I slept 5 hours, I have no any pain.

D+1 Dr Monegal are going to visit me but he has been connected to whatapp asking me about me feelings.

The hospital is wonderfull, nurses, all of 10. If we stay here bring a multi socket for plug all your devices next to you.

I think that today I will start with my exercises, let´s see.

@Christopherbulder @Ozymandias @musicmaker thank you so much for the support

@Revenge @ouroboros @Ozymandias @KrP1 @chsn Thank you for your encouragement

The level of pain all the day was 0/10

I had my first PT sesion with a CPM machine, The devices bend my knee to 94º about 40 minutes.

Tomorrow Doctor Monegal will quit my catheter with epidural anesthesia, I will be able to feel better the leg and the pain will increase, but let see tomorrow.
