Is my goal acquirable?

Quote from: dexter1930 on July 02, 2021, 12:48:41 AMi made the decision rather quick only in 6 months, just do it, you only live once. I'm not out of the oven yet but I can definitely feel the whole next level of height as of now. Just save enough money and time and do it as soon as possible. I wish I would have done this way earlier but never too late

When did you get the surgery done if you don’t mind me asking.

Why do you want to get this surgery, honestly...?

my initial surgery was on 21 March this year, it has been 103 days and I'm at the end of the distraction phase. The frame will be removed in5-20 days. Before September last year, I never worried about my height. I found this site after I got my first surgery

103 days?? 5-20 left?? What method did you use and why is it taking so long.

I do regular bulky external frame with big fat full weight bearing nails. It was my doctor's idea to progress as slow as possible to preserve my health and avoid any possible complications. I started extend my legs 21 days after the osteotomy procedure to let my legs heal off the damage from the frame attachment and the cutting bone, most doctors start the distraction phase  after 7-14 days from the 1st surgery. I also lengthen just 0.25, 0.5 for many days. Sometimes when the pain is high I would stop lengthening for 2 or 3 days. I could have done 1mm or 1.5mm per day like many other CLL patients but my soft tissue will always be behind, hence, it hinders my mobility, I would rather do this slow and maintain my walking for better recovery than jeopardizing it. I believe if time is not an issue, people should lengthen not over 0.75mm per day unless if you have extremely fast pre-consolidation rate. Most problems occur when ppl start their distraction phase too early and lengthen too fast. However, each to his own

Damn. You sir are a man of patience. I certainly could not.
