I am sure it is a great spike from 170 to 176. From a little below average to dead average.
Btw, is a 6cm change very apparent to you? I mean, people who you thought were 180+ turned out to be not really 180+?

I did that amount and it's a big difference for me. I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'll have to start a new life because it's impossible to keep it a secret
Hi Yagen, nice to know you are doing fine.
Have you talk to Monegal about the post-op? If you are doing bilateral you are supposed to use a wheelchair for at least 2 months, am I right?
I'm guessing you are going for internals... or maybe LON?
Best of luck.
Thanks for a great diary yagen.Im glad you are fine.
You mentioned that you are alredy over your wingspan with 4 cm.Another 4 cm on tibias will make it -8.What do you think about it??
hey there super updates 
why dont you jump or run , you think you could in time ?
@TIBIKE200
With my Nike air max I reach 1,81 cm, People who do not know me before thinks that I am a tall guy, but I think it is because I am slim guy, I look taller.
Two months ago in a funeral a girl that I have not seen her in 15 years said to me "Your family is very tall" .....but my sister is 1,70.....people change the way that you see you if you are slim.
My new girlfriend told me often you are tall.
@ub40
People told me first time that I could walk without crutches, you look taller, but after a week they dont say anything.
@Ozymandias
Yes, I know that if I do bilateral I will be on a wheelchair 2 months but I was visiting Helloworld thay he is doing bilateral, and he can walk with a walker, he weighs more than me and I dont have enough time to do this in two stages.
I think one of the best ways for a faster heal is walk, walk and weight increase the healing. I think machines like alter G or similar are the best ways for a faster heal.

@Peaceout
Nobody has told me anything about my proportions even when I wear a lift/air max to increase "my tibia"
@jojo
I do not run because I do not feel enough confidence in my legs also when the nails are in your femur you do not have the same sensations.
This operation is pretty crazy and you need time to recover.
I will do my next bone scan at the end of this month, and I will see the heal.
Happy you are doign well Yagan.
About bilateral vs unileteral, I worte about it in detail in my diary.
Basically, I do not think that there is more pain in bilateral than unilateral and the inconvenience of being in wheel chair and then walker vs crutches is minimal and I believe I am able to do all the recovery exercises like biking, walking in the pool, stretching as any unilateral patient.

There is more pain in bilateral because you are lengthening both legs. 2 legs Will Hurt more than one. To be in a wheel chair is much more limitating and psichológical exhausting than to be in crutches. To strech properly you are going to need help. By the other side you Will finish faster .

Have you done both unilateral and bilateral or how do you know?
I have talked to many unilateral patients and the pain they describe goes far beyond what I feel.
I suspect it has to do the way the brain works, pain is a sign that something is wrong and that you better do something about it. When you got one good leg and one bad leg your brain keeps noticing the difference, when you do both at the same time, your brain has nothing to good leg to compare to and reduce pain signals.
So from my experience compared to many unilateral patients pain is LESS when doing both at the same time!
181 is a solid height man.Happy for you.
So,so far what is your overall opinion about this?Would you recommend this?Does it's contributions overweight the things that it takes from you?
