Hey mate , im about to go in for my second surgery in 2 hours.
I have already done 6cms tibias. ( give or take 0.5 cms ) in 2012
Not sure how many cms you're at now , but i can tell you as being previously 5'4 that past 6cms on tibs is too much you will definitely have some loss of ROM im movement such as squats , sitting on the floor will change things like that. if you want to sit on the floor getting up changes and starts to take abit more effort. Now these are things that happen before 6.5cms on tibias. I had my friend Sweden who done 7cms that took 2 years or more to recover he also tells me hes not the same.
My advice to 6cm on femurs and max 6cms on tibias. Right now you're just thinking about height but if you consider other factors such as recovery and Natural movements that you will hinder you may want to take a slightly more conservative approach.

I see what you’re saying.. yes you’re right only thing I care about is milking the most height possible! What would you say the max length to gain from tibs before loss of normal function sets in, 6.5cm? If so i’ll cap it at that
Cause if i’m starting at 163cm & doing 8cm on femurs + 6-6.5cm on tibs that’s 177-177.5cm after = 5’9.7 - 5’9.9 which pretty much is 5’10 which is my goal so i’d be happy stopping there!

So I convinved my friend to come hangout with me in WPB for 1.5months
I paid for his flight he said he was down
Care taker woulda been like 10,000 USD for 3 weeks & honestly you only really need them for a week. After that it’s more like convenience.
So.. Because I have stryde & can actually walk around, i’ve been using Tinder & Bumble to meet some girls; 3 months is a long time!
I’ll be meeting up with 2 girls this saturday (with my friend) & we are going out. I told her i’d be on crutches or a cane as to not be a catfish, she doesn’t seem to mind. I told her I fell on my hip & gotta use it to balance my walking for a little bit. I’m REALLY nervous but we’ll see what happens!!
Care taker 3 weeks=10,000 usd? Seriously .It s a ton of money.I dont think this cost is correct.
Hello MyEvolution, what are you doing?
I'm thinking of doing exactly what you're doing but with less elongation ...
Where do you have the cuts of the scars tell us a little more friend.
Did Paley tell you anything about the decompression of the peroneal nerve?
Something about Achilles tendon?
The liberation of the iliotibial band?
I see that questions about what to do to not lose mobility and other ... I would not spend in your place of 6 cm in femur and 4-5 cm in warm ... For a centimeter more than you have in a medical staging you can fk all and in real life 1 or 2 centimeters are not appreciable.
I personally think about 3 cm in femur and 3 cm in warm ... But I do high risk sports and marathons and similar careers

Ya personally im not interested in being a marathon runner. That being said though Paley is very strict on NOT trading function for height so unless my body can successfuly tolerate it & not lose function, he will not let me lengthen more
I met a patient yesterday who did 8cm in femurs & 6cm in tibias & he looks amazing! That’s my goal i’m sticking to it

Can you tell us more about that patient? Age? gender? does he/she practice yoga and has good flexibility? Precice Stryde patient too?
Good luck in your journey bro.
MyEvolution, I know you take your weight bearing for granted but or some of us who are not used to weight bearing precice nail, can you please write more about what you can do and what you can not?
you are the first Stryde diary on this forum 
Are you reliant on house help to get things done? How much do you walk with or without crutches? do you drive car?
MrEvolution,
We have the same height and body weight. I am heavily considering to do this procedure as well.
I work as a software engineer, so working remotely wouldn't be a problem for me either! 
My apologies for the bombardment of questions, but I feel this would help us better understand your experience and possibly influence our decision as well!
What was your total cost for this procedure excluding rooming,food, etc?
Did Paley mention about being able to lift weights after a certain period of time?
Why did he do the femur first and not the tibia? Was this your preference?
What about running?
What warnings did Paley give you about doing this procedure? Especially considering you aspire to go 13 cm in additional length.
What are the long term consequences? Can the bones potentially break at some point? Suppose 3 years down the line you were jogging and made a huge jump... is that a risk?
A video of your current walking would say more than words ever could.
Keep safe!

I am using crutches to balance my walking because without crutches I sway too much
Apparently i’ll be moving to only a cane very soon i’ll let you guys know when that happens officially
In terms of the nail i believe i have the smallest one? My follow up appointment is october 17th that’s when I can ask. I do know that my nails can weight bear 200lb/leg based on the nail I have
I am currently 155lb (lost 6lb after surgery)
Hi MyEvolution, were you able to find out about your nail size on the 17th?
