Exercises, stretches, and what to eat in preparation for the surgery

Edit Post

Hey people,


I'm currently planning on doing my surgery in summer 2018 with Dr Mitkovic in Nis (this is most likely), although I may decide to do it in Beijing or with Parihar instead, as they use internal rather than external devices I believe, which don't seem to take as long and are less painful for longer lengths. I'd like to do up to 7.5 cm on my femurs, and at the very least 5 cm, to bring me up to 178-180cm.

I'm wondering what sort of exercises and stretches I should do to prepare myself for the surgery, and also what kind of diet I should have, if you can recommend anything.

Are you doing yours on tibia or femurs?

Yeah, the only downside is they are more expensive and I might well not be able to afford them, so Serbia looks a lot more likely anyway. Supplements seem like a good idea.

I weigh about 150lbs at 5'8 so I should probably put on a bit of weight before I head out.
