I am also very curious about your experience, in particular how much you will be hitting and in particular how fast you will be able to get rid of the crutches. I am also thinking about doing tibias but only, if I would get mobile without crutches very quickly (2-3 months after the surgery). I have to integrated it into my daily job routine this time... however, Becker mentioned to me that the tibia LL Process is much more easier than femur LL, so I am very curious about what you are going to report the next weeks/months.
I am now almost 8 weeks post clicking and I am walking without crutches very safely (Sometimes I forget them when I go out of the house 
) I did go up and downstairs yesterday without crutches as well. I only have a very little duck ass which makes me a bit tired when I am walking a lot but my physio is also very optimistic that I will reduce it further. Its all about training and in particular time!
I had almost the same starting height like you and now beeing 10,75cm taller (162,5 to 173,5) is an incredible feeling you will definitely like it! From beeing shorter than the average girl to being taller then the most of them and almost have the average men's size is a change which is absolutely worth regardless how much you have to pay for! I think you will start noticing it, when you hit 165cm and beeing taller that the most girls 
Furthermore, good luck and stay patient!

That's awesome man, two members now with more than 10cm on femurs. Maybe I should go for more, what made you stop at 10.75cm?

Check out my diary 😉

I have mentioned mentioned my reasons there but in a nutshell: I reached my initial goal and I didnt want to go to the absolut limit, although I got the permission from Betz to go until 11cm. Finally who cares about 0,25cm 😅😅
Quote from: hippo60 on October 26, 2022, 03:47:40 PMYeah man I'm following you! Maybe Becker can introduce you to other patients who have done 10cm?
Agreed, and it would be great to hear from anyone who has done like even above 7cm on tibias tbh
I'm still trying to decide someday whether to shoot for 5 (Paley limit) or 5.5 cm tibias someday in Athens, kinda curious what people have experienced as they start reaching 6,7,8 etc in Germany to get a sense how things feel beyond 5 cm
In Athens now, I only know of two people doing internal tibias. One guy is doing the 4 precise nails quadrilateral option so I think his current ballerina foot at around 2 inches tibia is maybe not representative of other people's experience. He mentioned that the splints for the tibias may be too uncomfortable for alot of people during the night for sleeping. But I keep thinking "wait so Germany clicking tibia patients may not need to worry about this as much because they can walk much earlier and sort of automatically stretch it by walking"
The other guy in Athens doing precise tibia came in very flexible and is only 2cm (ish? forget) into his journey but basically his calves flexibility is still well within the normal range of non-patients ---but it seems that achilles tendon pain may sometimes flare up in tibia patients
But basically I am getting the impression that the OP might have made a great decision to go with clicking tibias first, like the weight bearing, the quality of life, etc. And if he is going to eventually do both femurs and tibias anyway in the long run, the (possibly/probably) lower pain for tibias than femurs on average should help alot for easing into the process
Awesome thanks bro 🙏
Becker said only 10% of patients do tibia and almost none of them have done it first before femurs. I’m an anomaly. Let’s see what happens.

Would love his input. I have a feeling the 5cm limit isn't a tech limit (mobility might be part but willing to bet it's not the main reason).
This is inspiring, thanks for sharing. I think from what I’m told, tibia is easier than femur. There’s part of me that thinks I should have done the hard ones first lol.

Ahhh man! Read this diary right before my surgery and made me feel very confident and excited to do this. Congrats on the gains bro 🚀 have you thought about doing tibias?

Hey maxheight35! You wanna answer my post? 🙈😂
Quote from: Stand taller on October 26, 2022, 03:50:00 PMCongrats on getting the surgery and nice to see that Dr Becker is your primary contact! He's awesome!
I did the surgery back in January and spoke a little with Dr Betz and have had some communication with him, but my primary contact has been with Dr Becker. He's fast to respond and seems to care a lot about his patients.
Did you have surgery in Freiburg at Praxisklinik 2000? Hospital was okay, but the food was awful!
Curious to see how you fare doing 10cm on tibias. I did 11,5cm on femurs and was done clicking four months ago, but because of my issues with duck ass I'm still not 100% of the crutches. Duck ass is close to being resolved (I'll do an update on my diary soon), but because I still have some -walking over distances more than a few 100 meters is very tiring on my lower back. My duck ass started at 7cm, so I'm curious to know if you will experience something similar doing tibias instead of femurs.
10cm is life changing, how much are you planing on doing on femurs? I stared at 165cm, so I was a litte taller than you are now and I did more length. I ended up at 177cm (or close enough to 5'10 that I can say I'm 5'10) and I no longer feel small. It is such a weird, awesome, great and strange feeling not feeling small anymore. Sure plenty of people are taller than me, but most people I meet (including both genders) are actually shorter than me. I went from being shorter than most people to being taller than most people, can't put that feeling enough into words.
Either way good luck and hope you don't experience duck ass as severe as I did. It is a lengthy process and you will get trough it in the end. Even though my duck ass has been a pain in the ass and the reason I still can't walk normally, I do see the light at end of the tunnel and I have no regrets. In the end, it is totally worth it!
Are you doing this surgery solo? Tell any family or friends?
Btw you're doing quite a bit on tibias, if you get ballerina foot make sure you take that seriously. Probably time to stop if that happens.

Sorry bro! Yeah Dr. Becker is a great guy and has been very supportive!
And yes I had the surgery in Frieburg at Praxisklinik 2000… I was so happy to leave that place! The nurses were OK but yeah the food absolutely sucked!!! I ordered takeout for every meal other than breakfast and I would have ordered breakfast if there was an option lol.
I heard about many stories with the duck ass with femurs. Actually think it comes down to the dedication you give on stretching everyday! I met this guy Nico here who did surgery as well about 4 months ago and he’s walking fine with no duck ass but man he puts in the work! Even when we are talking and eating he’s always stretching.
So far so good on the tibias. 10cm is definitely a game changer and I’ll be going for the max height possible with femurs. Hopefully another 12 there and then it’s game on baby!!!
Staying positive, active, and keeping my mind as busy as possible is key with this whole operation and situation. This hotel is amazing as well I can’t say it enough… I’m very happy and grateful for the level of service I’m being given from Dr. Becker and his team down to the hotel staff and physical therapy clinic staff as well!
Have you thought about doing tibias?
