Hoping for 6cm - Dr Monegal - Barca - Bilateral femur

Edit Post

Thanks bro,


I feel happy that the first surgery is finally done. 10 years waiting to do limb lengthening.

Right now there is not much I can do besides lay on my bed.   So I am Keeping my self entertained using my phone.

I am doing femur, internal.

Thanks u man. I have a question, do you thinhk do tibias later? and What was your long of femur and tibia before of the surgery?

Hey,

I have one more surgery after this and that is for the left leg. That might be in July/August. Getting time of work is always tricky. I wont be doing any more surgery after that. I was happy wearing insoles and my insoles were always 5 cm. So 6 cm for me is a bonus.

I don't know the exact length of my tibas or femur before the surgery. I know my height fluxuated alot between 166 and 168.

How much did you pay for this procedure?

Edit Post

Since I only got the right leg done. I paid the hospital (clinicadiagnol) 19000 euros.

I will have to pay 19000 again for left leg.

why you doing only 6cm?

For me 6cm is a lot and being just over 2 inches taller would make me sooooo happy.

Quick update - still day 1

Met Dr monegal earlier. It was a great catch up and hearing more about my surgery and sharing stories. We did few strechthes and it was great getting some control of my right leg and foot. My first PT session is tomorrow so looking forward to that.

6 cm is a lot! almost 2.5 inches AND not only that; it is a pretty safe lengthening.  I just hit 2 inches and its a huge difference.
