LL with Dr. Becker (successor of Betz) - Instagram Documentary

Edit Post

Thank you 🙏

I have no idea the type of Anesthesia they used but I know it works! 🤣

The hospital was called something like “Praxlisclinic 2000” and was very small, private and kinda high end. A+ service while I was there as well.

What type of anesthesia do they use at Betz institute?
And could you tell which exact hospital they do this surgery in? At the University Hospital Freiburg?

Bro what!  Just watched.  You're walking around like that.  You cant even tell you're doing LL.  If my walk is anywhere near yours Im going to be psyched.

Yes the scars are quite ugly right now. And honestly I haven’t used the scaring gel even one time. When the time comes, I’ll get laser treatment as it’s very effective. I’ve had it done on my face before and it works very good!

Don’t let a couple of scars hold you back from doing this surgery.



Quote from: EndGame on December 06, 2022, 12:43:10 AMSome of your surgical scars appear to be healing nicely while some others less so. One in particular looked like a newish scab and not much healing. I want to do Tibias like you and one of my biggest concerns is the scaring. Have you noticed anything you've done differently which might lead to the better healing in some sites. Perhaps it's mostly the ankle scars do well starting a bit smaller? Becker or staff give any guidance regarding things to do to minimize scaring?

There is general anesthesia where they put a gas mask and you pass out. There is spinal where they push something into your spine while you're awake. Which one was it?

And are you on blood thinners? For how long?

Yeah man, just stretch consistently, hit the sauna as much as possible, and ice the legs several intervals throughout the day. The combo really helps.

Yes it was through an IV in the arm and the gas mask. I took the blood thinners for like 30 days.

I just posted a new story of me walking in the locker room, also it’s under Week 8 highlights.

Haven’t done femurs yet, but when I do I will let you know which one is easier!

Unbelievable and this after 8 weeks! I can tell for sure femurs are very much harder due to the larger muscles. Dr. Becker told me as well that Tibia is going much easier because you dont have to fight against duck ass und wide legs. My walk (I have done femur) is right now the same but 3 months post-clicking

Do you still use the crutches, like outside, or did you already throw them away

Yea man I still sometimes wish I did tibias. But hey at least in the future we know that it will be easier than what we already did.

"Yea man I still sometimes wish I did tibias."

It really depends on your goals.  If hiding you did LL is important then femurs are the way to go.  But it does look like tibias effect your gate much less and from that standpoint its less obvious through the LL and recovery process.  But that time also comes and goes.

Not because any of these reasons. Long tibias look great imo.
It‘s because of the amount of work. Femur needs so much more stretching and duckass looks horrendous compared to ballerina foot.
