Hi LLSouthAmerica, thank you for your response, you are an inspiration for me thinking on undergo ll. You mentioned that no PT post op?, not even just some stretching?. And how you are doing on walking, jogging and sports?
Let's see ... stretching yes, walking, cycling and elliptical the same way as during lengthening. What I meant is that after Milan there was no one but me to oversee my training or help me to stretch whatsoever.
That is mean you are still on walker/crutches and no walking unaid yet?
What? I stopped using walker 1 week post op and crutches around 2 months post op. Where are you getting this from?
I did read most of the thread, and I know a couple of these questions were more or less asked before, but I still wanted to ask them myself. I hope you don't mind.
Why did you choose, or what was your reasoning, going for the femurs specifically?
Are you satisfied with Dr. Guichet's treatment and follow-up?
Was the biggest change after surgery how you see and carry yourself, or do you think the biggest change came from people (you do not know) interacting with you after the height gain?
Did Dr. Guichet give you a max estimate for total recovery before the surgery, and how far are you from that? Or did he state your physical ability would most likely never be the same again?
Thank you.
1) Femur heal faster and tolerate the lengthening better
2) Satisfied yes in my case, though I felt he was lacking in bedside manners with other patients (Unicorn)
3) Definitely how I feel about myself but at the same time people now have stopped seeing me as the " very short" guy.
4) What is total recovery? I assume it would never be the same again and I never asked. Before surgery, I studied a lot about LL and I didn't ask Dr. Guichet many questions I should've. I knew what I was getting into.
Anyways is there someone from Anaheim, California here? Please INBOX

Thanks for the replies, LLSouthAmerica.
What questions do you think you should have asked?
And I know there would be a loss of athletic ability and all, but I'd define total recovery as the moment when you remove the nails and don't need to keep doing x-rays to check on your legs. Was there an estimate for that, or is it going to be lifelong thing? Thanks again.
Hi LLSouthAmerica, did TSA give you any problem at the airport? Did they dicover the rods through the body scan?
Also, sorry, I probably meant rods in my last post.
