Your experience will help many. Keep us posted
Keep your head high and your dedication locked in, pain is temporary but the height gain is forever. It will get easier to cope with over time and before you know it youll be a new man. Listen to your body, do what your surgeon and PT say and reap the benefits. Best of luck🤙🏽
Thanks again man I really appreciate it. I hope others can find even just a few pieces of information from my experience that helps them in their journey. I’ll keep posting here throughout this summer and if you ever have any questions feel free to ask.
LON on Femur - 9cm goal height
Quote from: dboy123 on June 16, 2023, 10:58:59 PMTell me how it goes I know a lot of ppl here don't like going past 8cm, but I feel if your body can tolerate the lengthening past 8cm, I feel like should be good, I'm planning to do 9, to 9.5cm femur if my first surgery I still feel short, but currently pllaning to do tibia with LON to lengthen at 6.5cm to be 5'11
If you’re starting at 174cm why not just do your femurs instead of your tibias and gain 8cm in your first surgery and be 182cm?

This is the beginning of week 5 and I am really grateful to say that it seems much of my pain from having done 1.5mm a day has subsided. Obviously I am not totally pain free now, but I am feeling much better compared to just a few days ago. I have not needed to take any stronger painkillers yet, which is good because I plan to save those for when the pain starts to get much worse, most likely around 5-6cm. I have been walking on a treadmill for about 5 min a time, a few times a day and I am hoping that as long as my pain levels do not skyrocket again, I will be able to maintain a decent level of mobility and flexibility which will aid me in the recovery process.
Here is a short video of me walking at the beginning of week 5 after the surgery. I walk at a slow pace for about five minutes at most each time, and I try to do this a couple times a day if I feel good enough to.

Glad to hear everything is going smoothly (as much as it can during a surgery like this😂) your walk definitely looks pre good for 5 weeks post surgery. Glad to hear that the pain you were experiencing has subsided. Your doing great man, keep it up👍🏽
progress! keep it up you got this
Looking good king 👑 one step at a time.
Week 6 Update:
As of right now I’m at 4.2cm and so I’ve got about 4.3cm left to go to finish off at 9cm. The pain has been pretty bad but I’m still managing to get by without using the opioids. I’m planning on saving those for when things get worse around 6cm. I want to thank everyone for all of their kind words. I posted a progress picture that shows my before and after at the halfway point. If all goes well, I should be able to double that height increase, bringing me to about 176.5cm which was something I could’ve only ever dream of. My advice to people considering doing this, is to definitely make sure you want it really badly. If you’re committed you’ll be able to do it, but you’ve got to have a lot of guts and determination.
How much did you pay for LON + Accommodation in Turkey, is it a package?

The prices are different now but at the time I paid it was around $24k USD for the package.
