Thank you all!
My wide legs have largely recovered. There’s a little bit but when I walk I can put my legs together.
However my body swings still remain the same. Hopefully that can recover soon
What career makes you so much cash m7liam, are you in IT?
Hey m7liam!
Thanks for making this diary!
1. If you were flying out from D.C. to Athens for the first consultation (let's say it was on a Friday), when would you leave D.C. to be safe for the flight?
2. When would you leave Athens to go back to D.C. to be safe for the flight?
3. What are the most important questions to ask the doctor/staff in the first consultation solely in terms of finding out knowledge for tangible that the patient needs to do next to proceed with the leg lengthening?

No, I work in private equity. Basically investments.

Hi, I would make sure you try to get in the night before the consultation.
In terms of getting back, I would say that one month post-surgery you would be fit enough to fly back (if you wanted). That’s what I did with going back to London. Of course, the flip side is if something happens (like what happened with my slow lengthening) you might have to fly back.
Key thing during consultation is getting yourself comfortable with all the risks. I had the doctor explain the main ones and give me guidance on how I was thinking to feel comfortable. It took a long time!
Hi all, a quick update (roughly 1.5 weeks post distraction).
My wide legs has disappeared. I notice my flexibility had gone up - specifically I can now do a doggy style position in bed whereas before I couldn’t although I still can’t thrust.
I actually got a bit of nerve pain in the last 0.5cms but it has largely resolved now.
My walk is still like a penguin. Hasn’t really improved but will give more feedback later.
One other thing - as mentioned in some of the other posts and you can see it slightly in my xray, my stryde nail has a little bit of a bend. This was mentioned by my doctor and probably a consequence of walking too much and putting too much weight. He said it’s not an issue as long as it doesn’t get much worse but I should be light on walking exercises. As such, I’m not going to do stairs etc until my bones consolidate more (approx 4-5 weeks).
So happy to hear the wide legs are gone finally
Hopefully doctor saids u can at least stand in place indefinitely. I think that'll help consolidation alot if u can't walk as much. But safety over speed if nail truly is bending
Just read ur backstory and I really loved your "fxxk it just go for it" mentality spur of the moment to get LL. Living life on the edge
Congrats u
