I have finished my lengthening at 6.7cm
I have decided to not do any more because my femurs look long right now and i care about proportions and aesthetics.
The change in height is very noticeable. I can compare my self with my family and them and i could see that im much taller than before.
Im doing very well right now. I use the walker to move in my home. Now its time to recover. 
Congrats! Great to hear you're doing well, buddy! You're almost at the finish line, just need to recover. I'm so happy for you. Time goes really fast when you start using the walker and crutches.
Congrats, I commend and congratulate your achievement and decision to stop at 6.7 for proportion sakes. At your current height you're in a good position anyways; you might be considered short but you're no longer objectionably short and are taller then most girls now.
But this also begs the question from me, would the extra .3 cm be noticeable in this regard or was it just like "eh I'm close enough and rather not continue"?
Either way congrats.

I think that the 0.3 mm arent going to change my height in anything. No one can notice that. But im at a point where i dont want my femurs to look any longer. 0.3mm will be much more noticeable in the femurs than in my total height. So it is not worth it.
Cheers
Congratulations buddy. Very happy for you. Now just focus on recovery. Recovery is very annoying and it's going to feel like it's taking a lot longer than it should...but take it from me, recovery WILL happen, and you may not get a "full" recovery until the rods and screws are taken out (for example, my left hip/glute medius pain and very slight hip sway won't resolve until the nails are taken out).
Just hang in there for now, and don't do anything stupid
Hello KrP1,
Believe it or not, I only discovered your diary right now! I asked Glenn to confirm who you are.
I am very happy about your completion; it feels sentimental to observe my fellow lengtheners terminate their experience too. We are the graduating class of Autumn 2015. 
Be Well,
Bohemia
I have been measuring my height the last days but my height gain didnt match with the lengthened amount. im shorter than what i should be. so i have decided to do a bit more.
People say ou loouse height due to compression

Update
I continued my lengthening. The gap finally shows an increase of 7.8 and 7.6cm. You have to discount the magnification of the xrays . It is supposed to be around 7%.
I have very good callus formation and In my opinion if your bone is hard the fitbone has difficulties to lengthen and maybe it will not get the full 1mm per day. I dont really know if this is the way it is in reality but is my personal opinion so i can be wrong. I say this because finally i had to do more lengthening than the gained amount.
Im 172cm from my measurements when i wake up inmediately from bed. So my gained height is something between 6.5 and 7cm.
Im in the consolidation phase and 4months and ten days post op.
I have been walking unaided for around 10 days know.
My walking is improving but it is not normal yet. It is slowly than it was before surgey because i have muscle tension but i think that its good for a little more than 4 months post op with the amount i lengthened.
Im working hard in my recovery stretching 4 times per day ,doing elliptica and some exercises to get more strenght.
Cheers KrP1
5 months post op.
Hey guys! New update at 5 months post op. Im doing great . I can walk long distances now without getting tired. My walking is not 100% normal now but is improving and most people will not notice the limping when you are walking in the street. I can see how it changes for the better. The principal problem to walk 100% normal is muscle tension. It needs time for the muscles to adapt to its new length. But i could notice how this is happening because now my legs are more relaxed than 3 weeks ago.
Going upstairs is dificult but i can do it . Going down stairs is the most dificult thing.
I dont have any pain now. And im doing relatively normal life. Im very confident that im going to recover to a good point in the next months.
Cheers
