I cant believe i was able to hit 7.6cm, no ballerina 15° both legs
I am now 5’11 and super happy with my goal
I cant wait to recover so i can wear lifts and airforces and be at 6’1 OMFG
5 weeks of catching up on my right
Thanks to everyone for the support you guys have been a pivotal part of my journey
I hope this inspires you to strive for what you deserve
I had to fight through many obstacles and the fight isnt over but at least i will keep my 7.6cm
Love u guys
Really glad to see you are happy man. Going from 5'4" to 5'11" is huge and will work wonders for your mental health man, that's awesome.
If I had the money I would probably do 2 surgeries too so I can just be tall and never think about height again.
It's gonna be a struggle just saving up for the one surgery and I have a physical job so. Personally can't wait to be in your shoes and get my surgery and be comfortable with myself. You're an inspiration.

Did they use the old nail or did they use a new nail?
If they used a new nail did the $20k include the cost of a new nail?
They replaced the nail included in the 20k to make sure it works!
Quote from: Fox on February 13, 2020, 09:38:14 AMgood update, keep it up. with this determination your right leg will catch up, no doubt about that.
its crazy that naturally long dudes never really have to go through this hell. nature isnt always fair.
but they dont know what its like to be short, and generally saying cheesy things like learn to accept yourself. yea, fk that. you are into sports, me too.. so you should know pain is only temporary. 2 years from now you will thank yourself and love yourself even more, when you return to normal %100.
and some people here saying things like you will never be the same after LL, i really dont believe that. especially if you're a sportsman.
your x-rays look really decent, clean cut bones and you kinda see its been done by the people who know what they're doing.
and please dont become "that guy" looking down on short guys now 
....
i'm really happy for you.
Amen, i will always remember where i came fro
Sure naturally tall guys are blessed to be tall but no offense most my tall friends are soooo lazy and have 0 discipline and follow through. Now that i’m taller than the friends i comsidered tall i’m gonna destroy life with my work ethic
My short brothers i will always feel for you. Keep pushing, ITS POSSIBLE
did you keep lengthening your left leg after 7cm?
yo proud of you bro, ur almost there

I think they ended up not charging you for something (maybe surgeon fees, maybe the nail). Because $20k seems quite less to basically redo the operation for one leg. It costs over $100k for both legs, so it could have been half that.
Osteotomy point is same or they break your tibia on different point?
