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

Edit Post

Quote from: yagen on February 12, 2018, 09:09:56 AMYes, this week I am going to remove the antenna and the lower screws that fix the fibula to the tibiae in order to get more mobility in my ankle.

I will try to upload a video walking this after small surgery with the stitches.

Thanks for the answer, I hope the surgery goes well! Is there an additional cost for the antenna removal or is part of the main surgery cost?

Dr Monegal quit me one of the antennae in my femur, in the surgery of the second femurs without any fee.

This time I prefer to quit the antennas left (1 in femur and 2 in tibias) besides two lower nails that join tibiae and fibula.

it was around 1200 euros, the higher item was operating theater, anesthetist and blood test and I prefer to stay one night at the hospital.

Other mate patients quit antenna with the nail at the same time and es the cheaper way because quit antenna he spends just 10 minutes.

I attached a video walking without shoes in order to see I don't have ballerina's feet, I walk a little worst than previous weeks because I had the stitches of the antennas, and it hurt.

And in another video, you can see the old stitch of the antenna 1,5 year that is very complicated to find.

I am very happy with my new height, but it is like a vicious, I would like to add 2,5 cms more in a future to my tibias. 

I go on thinking that tibias are harder than femurs ankle and Achilles heel are very important in the stability, thus If you do too many cms your recovery will be worst.

Good work Yagen.
But you now have an excellent heigbt so stop thinking about doing 2.5cm more and all these bs.
LL is not a game, you should now continue your life and finish with it completely otherwise you may suffer from bdd as it is not normal for someone who is about 1.82 after 2 LLs thinking to break his bones for a rhird time for no reason!

Anyway I think that you'll act sensibly and enjoy your life without thinking about LL again.

Keep strong.

This makes me think you suffer from BDD. How does your doctor accepts this. You're not in your mind.

Quote from: yagen on September 20, 2017, 06:05:57 PMAt this point, I think it's easier to do bilateral tibias than two stages with femurs. knee suffers less. I can handle by myself the third day between the bed and wheelchair and go to the bathroom.

I feel better right leg than the left one, but it is normal, I had more curly my left leg.

I took a stolen picture of the Dr. Monegal / Dr. Donghoon Lee / Frenchman Dr and a girl while they were taking a snack, and I was waiting for admission




This photo amuses me because I literally sat in that exact chair in the same lobby like three days ago.

I underwent my nail removal in Clinica Diagonal this week. Good luck to you.

@ Bohemia

I am very glad for you.

Glenn, Krp1 and you were my inspiration to do LL, You do a great job telling your way through LL, I had  a lot of doubts and It was easy to solve and share my thoughts with your post. I am very grateful

@Whimsical and @body boulder

Many thanks for your best wishes. I know now its time to enjoy the life, time to recover.

I just said that height is addictive, Doctor advised me not no do more than 4 cm for my proportion in tibiae, He is very conservative.

I attached new xray and evolutions of the scars (scar of the antenna two years after surgery over left leg and las scar of the antenna in right leg, surgery three weeks ago) and the evolution of the healing on the tibiae

Edit Post

the scars are good, easily to hide

Hi mates,

After one year post surgery  I am going to upload a video hiking in the mountains.

It is the BEST way to check the final goal

Dear yagen. Congratulation! Your X-ray looks as normal one who do not have surgery and you have great gain 10 cm and walk well. Could I ask your do you feel any pain of knee after removing the nail in femur?
Thank you. Best wish.
