Bonsoir tout le monde

I've just reached 6 cm.
Waiting for 6,35 = 2,5 inches.

My starting goal was 7 cm but since it has got much harder after 5, I lowered my aim to 6,5. Then due to my really painfull nights when reaching 6, I've decided to go for 6,35 as it exactly 2,5 inches. I still distract 1 mm's a day.

I will write my journey since its beginning, but for now I can have your questions if you like.

Jex out.

Quote from: onemorefoot on September 13, 2017, 11:59:41 PMFirst ir all, good Luck And Hope you finish this thing very soon. The price of surgery is still like before? What is the opinion or the doc about Achilles lengthening?

Thank you onemorefoot.

The price of LON with monorails for tibias is about 57.000 TL. But I guess you can bargain for like 10K.

As I know from the diaries in this forum and a friend of mine who lengthened 7 cm on tibias, he usually does Achilles lengthening. I didn't speak with him yet about that but I absolutely don't want it.

Good evening guys please help me,

I can't stand unaided when my both feet looking forward, my knees are not bend and my legs are close to each other. My heels don't touch the ground, my ass pops out and my chest leans forward to maintain my balance.

I am really worried about it.

How can I stand still ?

Minutes to my frame removal...

About the Achilles Tendon,
Dr Inan and his crew observe your achilles under general anestesia after removing the frames. Due to the fact that under general anestesia the muscles are completely relaxed it is the best way to understand if someone needs achilles tendon lengthening. Also logically by this procedure you can’t know if he is going to do ATL before the surgery.

Hey guys,
Removed my frames and had a muscle lenghtening by percutaneous cuts. It is not achilles lengthening as doctor Inan said. Right now I’m under epidural and cant lift my left leg. But the right is okay. It didn’t hurt but the cast they’ve put is irritating.

I've decided to write a quick resume of my journey so far here we go:

SURGERY DAY (DAY 1) (10 July 2017)
Me and my parents in the room at around 6 AM. A man came and shaved my legs in the shower. I felt quite nervous. Asked myself what am I doing but I did not go back. I waited patiently till they take me . At the elevator they gave me a tranquilizer. I felt like I was drunk. A surgeon took me and joked "Now we'll have your kidney". I laughed unwillingly.

I woke up. Felt almost nothing. My girlfriend was right there next to the bed. I took her hand.  A felt asleep again.

DAY 2
Day 2 was the most painfull day of my life. They cutted my epidural to get me on my feet. I fainted. I counted minutes to my next epidural injection. People always tend to forget pain very easily but I still remember, 11 July was a torture.

DAY 3-20
I can't sleep well. I have constant pain. Not too much but constant, does not go away with parol. I started lenghtening on 6'th day (maybe 7 I don't remember) after the surgery. Lengthening is painless. I spend time with my girlfriend watching netflix. But when there is constant pain you can't enjoy anything. One thing I could advise is that to have sxx or to masturbate can be a great relief of pain at least during the time till you ejaculate.

DAY 20-57
I'm painless. No constant pain. No ballerina. Till day 37 (3cm's) I didn't use walker or cruches to walk. Then suddenly the front of my left leg started to hurt as I put pressure therefore I passed behind the walker.

DAY 57-70
In line with what they always say: things start to crap after 5cm. Suddenly I started to have ballerina at 5.5. From 5.5 to 6 cm I had so fking pain. My legs were shouting me to stop. Even the tops of my feet were incredibly acheing. I can't sleep. At 6cm I had huge ballerina.

DAY 70-90
I stopped lenghtening and things started to get better. I'm painless again. I still have ballerina even that I do everyday 2 sessions with maybe the best PT in the world. I also go to plates 3 times a week and work my legs. I sent my xrays to Dr Inan. He sad me to do 5mm more and then go 5mm backwards as this stimulates bone growth. I did what he wanted. But as this compresses the new forming bone, I can't give any weight to my legs. I can't even walk with the walker.

Finally I'm around 6.3-6.5 cm's.


Last thing that I would like to mention is that being elastic before the surgery didn't work for me. I had incredible ballerina. I was like a gymnastic artist. I could touch the ground with my elbows with my legs straight. Now I'm elastic like an average guy.

Hey Guys,

Hope you all doing great.
It's the 109'th day of my surgery and things are much better now.
I'm going back to my normal life. I can walk unaided since the 100'th day of the surgery even though I have casts on my legs. I didn't think I can walk this soon. Of course, I'm walking really weird and my hips are swinging left and right but it's okay It will pass. I'm somewhere between 175-176.5 and I feel completely normal. I would want to be 1.80 but I don't care that much as long as I have long legs and gain 3cm's from the shoe I'll look like 1.80+ Hope my bones heal quickly.
If I knew the Muharrem Inan's gastrocnemius lengthening was painless I would go for 7.5 but who cares.
I'm eager to return to my normal life. I miss hanging out with friends, smoke and drink alcohol.

I'm here for your questions, also you can pm me.
Best wishes,
Jex

How does the new height at 176 feel?

Wishing you continuous recovery. You are so close. Congratulations.

Thank you so much, man.
It feels great at 176. Not only the height but also my legs. I had really short and ( ) type tibias, after the lengthening, they look really straight and normal. My body looks much more proportionate after LL.
