Hey, people of all shapes and sizes aren’t happy with their height, like I said I’m sure lots of people wouldn’t think 2.5cm is worth it but it was to me. I know I’m not exactly short but whenever I looked at myself I saw myself at short, probably a mental thing but either way it’s done now and I do feel like I’m recovering well.
Calling me childish feels a bit harsh but I agree I didn’t do enough research even though I thought I had.
I didn’t try it because ‘I wanted to see what it feels like’ I knew it would be a painful experience but I did it because like many others I wanted to be taller, simple as that.

what gives you the audacity to make this comment below?

 "If you decide to do it then I think wannabetaller is a safe choice"

another reason why i say its fake after several people have written diaries about how they are not safe and damn right dangerous.

wannabe taller have left several of us butchered by their doctors that they keep using, they will pretend to be your best friend ,but when something goes wrong they will deny its the doctors  fault, after his pure negligence  and they will leave you to rot.

Okay again I don’t think you’re reading the entire message, I’m writing about my experience with the doctors and everyone involved and for me it’s all worked out but immediately after I said that they’re a safe choice I recommended they look into all options and not just take my word for it.

I’m sorry things have gone south for you and to anyone reading this you should go check out his diary as well because it shows how dangerous this surgery can be.

Day 7 - I’m leaving the hospital today!

Here’s the medicines they’ve given me:
Lansor (stomach protector) - once a day before brekky (empty stomach)
Dolorex (painkiller) - Take 1 after brekky (full stomach)
Gerelgine K (painkiller) - Take 1 after brekky (full stomach)
Oksapar (Blood thinner)- An injection into belly fat once a day
Coraspirin - Another blood thinner to be used after Oskapar
Contramol (strong painkiller) - Take 1 after lunch (full stomach)
Contramol (strong painkiller) - Take another 1 after dinner (full stomach) must be at least two hours after taking the first one
Dolorex (painkiller) - Take 1 after dinner (full stomach)
Gerelgine K (painkiller) - Take 1 after dinner (full stomach)

I slept pretty well last night, didn’t have any pain killers and was still fine. I woke up twice, once from some aching in my legs and a second time from someone snoring but both were manageable.
One thing I definitely wasn’t aware of was how many needles I’d have to constantly have, so at least this will help me get over my fear of needles, I’ve had them in several different spots in my arms and have to have one in my stomach every day.
I’ve just gotten changed out of my hospital clothes and put on some pants and flip flops and it’s infuriating how difficult such simple tasks have suddenly become.
I’m in a 3 star hotel for the next month and it’s pretty nice and it’s good to finally be on my own and feel some independence again.
I’ve been told as well that once I have the external fixators taken out I can have the internal nails in for however long with no risk of infection (once the holes have healed) I do plan on having them out as soon as I can but they recommend leaving them in for a year or two anyway while the new bone fully heals.
Physio exercises absolutely help making walking easier a lot of the tension is in my right ankle where the pins go, it’s a bit uncomfortable but already getting easier and then I can walk reasonably flat footed for awhile but then when I lie back down I have to redo the stretches to walk comfortably again.
It’s 8pm and my legs were aching a little, I’ve done plenty of walking and physio today so I’ve just taken some Dolorex and am going to sleep.

Day 8 - I’m sleeping better each night, I slept from about 9pm - 5am but woke up with a sore back which I think is just from lying on my back and not moving while I sleep. I miss being able to roll around on my bed.
My feet and ankles also felt a bit stiff but I imagine it’ll be like that every morning from not moving, once I did some stretches they felt better.
It’s 1pm now and I’ve done lots of stretches and walking but my right ankle is being extra difficult today, my nurse Onur is coming at 3-4pm so he can check if everything is alright. The cleaners at the hotel don’t speak English but are still very kind and come and go to help me out.
It’s nearly 4pm now and my ankle is hurting a fair bit making it tricky to walk but that could be because I haven’t taken any pain killers today.
Onur was here and he showed me where to do my belly injection, I didn’t even feel it go in but I’m still not looking forward to doing it myself.
5:15pm now and my right ankle is in quite a lot of pain, I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance based on my experiences so far and that the doctors have been surprised that I can walk so much and everything but I seriously wouldn’t recommend doing this for purely cosmetic reasons.
I truly can’t believe I ever thought this was a good idea, I’ve never been a super athletic person but suddenly all I want to do is run and jump around but even once I get these off my legs it’ll take a long time to be able to safely do all that.
Painkillers have kicked in now so feeling abit better but I don’t want to have to rely on them.

Day 9 - I ended up having a pretty decent sleep and asked my doctor for a copy of my x-rays so I could look at them a bit closer.
I think there are no good days or bad days with this surgery, all days have good and bad moments. It’s obviously too late to back out now so all I can do is what my doctors say and hope it’s all worth it in the end.
Just did my needle in my stomach and it wasn’t bad at all, still not happy about having to do it every day for the next month though.
Onur came and changed my bandages and I am now officially 0.25mm taller, he also helped me do my stretches at my ankle and he did it a lot further back than I have been which I guess I should do, it’s just hard doing it myself because of the pain but I’ll force myself too.
He also said the swelling will go down within a week and that I have no infections.

You are both are mistaken.  Halil Buldu has not been a member of the wannabetaller team for a long time.  His assistant said that he was in the team for less than a year and did not do operations.  If you think that OP diary is false, then I can provide my proof of operation with Halil.  I even agreed to show my face and name on his instagram.  I had the operation about six months ago (7 cm) and have been walking without assistance after 2 weeks after removing fixators. Right now i wait full consolidation. 
Unfortunately you are not lucky with another doctor, but why Halil bad in this case?

All I know is it was Dr Buldu that did my surgery and that it was wannabetaller who organised it for me. I didn’t think he was bad, I more found the surgery and the not being able to walk properly was too much stress for me so I stopped lengthening early.

Day 10 - Had another good sleep though I have to set an alarm for 3am to do one of the lengthening turns.
Hope I don’t end up with any permanent hip or back problems, they hurt in some spots from putting more weight on my left leg than my right.
I think the next month each day is going to be pretty much the same, the mornings are the worst but still not terrible.
It’s 3pm now and I’m officially an entire mm taller.
6:30 now, my feet are still kinda swollen and I hate looking at them but all I can do is the physio exercises and wait for the swelling to go down. Only 26 days left until I finish lengthening anyway.

Day 11 - I guess now that the lengthening has started I somewhat feel like it’s worth it but it’s still in no way a pleasant experience and I’m still worried about my right ankle, it’s going to be really annoying if I can’t put it flat until the fixators are taken off.
Some bad news about today, I have bit of a tummy bug and have had to go to toilet 3 times now and it hasn’t been pretty. 
12:30 now and my stomach is all good, doing the stretches and going for a short walk definitely make me feel better in terms of recovery but I don’t want to overdo it so that still leaves a lot of the day to just be bored.
It’s 7:45pm now, the days do feel like they’re going fast which is good and bad in the sense that I hope I’m doing enough exercises and walking. I think I am though, the only problem I have is my right ankle, other than that I can walk fine.

Day 12 - Didn’t sleep very well last night but I’m not sure why, I didn’t have any pain I think I just couldn’t sleep.
Same problems as usual, swollen feet and my right ankle refuses to cooperate. 
I’m looking forward to being able to shower again next Monday or Tuesday(it’s Thursday at the moment). I’m not overly dirty or anything but I can still feel I’m not clean.
Onur came to see me again and I no longer have bandages around my legs so now I have to get used to seeing my swollen legs in all their glory with various cuts and stitches in them. The cuts aren’t too bad though, I can tell they’ll fade and my legs are hairy enough to cover them up but I’m worried about where the pins go into each leg, I think they’ll be noticeable for quite awhile.

Day 13 - Swelling on my right foot is starting to go down though it’s still hard to put my foot down flat.
I haven’t done as much stretching as I normally would but I did walk a lot more than normal and I’ve been told that walking is the best thing to do for recovery.
I think a good way to keep positive is once you start lengthening you can think about how much taller you already are, I haven’t grown in about 4 years and now within 4 days I’m 0.4cm taller.

Day 14 - I don’t think it’s possible for me to properly do the stretches on my right ankle, I’m gonna ask Onur about it today because of where the nail is going into my ankle I think it would do more harm to try and force it to move when there’s a nail in the way.
I’m not having a great day today, can’t help but worry about my right leg, left leg seems fine and like it’ll recover but my right leg doesn’t.
Went for a walk which always makes me feel better, doctor said when the external fixators come out they also take those screws out so I just need to keep up with my physio.

Day 15 - Waking up this morning was okay, swelling is going down and I was able to make my way to the toilet without much pain.
About to go to bed, been a pretty good day though I’m still clueless as to what I’m meant to do with my right ankle/foot when I walk, should I force it to go flat or is that bad, should I walk on my toes which feels comfortable or is that going to make it do that permanently? Doing my head in.
