Hey Poly, can we get a picture of your legs? Thanks!
LON with the boys at Dr Sringari--India (Complete)
Get one for you tomorrow.
Update:
At home now. My airline offered me a reduced ticket price for leaving on Monday rather than Wednesday, so I ended up leaving quite abruptly. In the airport I was given wheelchair assistance for the majority of the walking lengths. I had to use crutches aboard the air plane and the little walking I was required to do. I feigned injury on my right leg. I stood quite easily on my left leg while bearing some weight on the crutches. When people asked what happened, I told them I was hit by a car and had multiple fractures in the right tibia.
I am extremely worried about my proportions. Most people in the airport bought my story (probably out of trying to be considerate) but I sensed that some people knew what I had done. As I had a 10 hour layover, I had ample time to observe people's proportions. I observed pretty much without exception that all people have femurs considerably longer than their tibiae. My tibiae are slightly longer than my femurs. I sat beside some guys that were in the 6ft-6ft3 range and I had longer tibiae than all of them. When people sit, their femurs angle down and the tibiae tuck neatly under the knee. When I sit my knees point upwards and my knees are 2 inches higher than 6ft3 guys. I noticed that tall guys are usually tall in the femurs and back. This just made me feel ridiculous. I kind of wish I had opted for femurs.
Maybe it was because I was walking on crutches and in a wheelchair, but I sensed that I drew quite a bit of attention. There were a few instances where women would whisper something to one another after looking at me and then snicker. I saw one person use their thumb and index to create a lengthening gesture and then the other person nodded. I haven't walked normally yet, so I hope that when I am, my proportions won't appear as ridiculous as they currently do.
Why should you care what other people think? Do you know these people in real life? Did they endure the pain and suffering you took to complete your journey? No, so fk them

I think you're being a little overly self-conscious and paranoid. Unless your tibias were freakishly long, and I mean you lengthened 20+ cm on them, no one would bat an eye at you. The only reason people were looking at you and curious was because you were handicapped.
Dude very little people know about this surgery. Relax!
You are getting paranoid. No one care about proportions. There is a lot of people with long legs compared to their torsos and no one care about them. This operation is knowed by a little few people and the ones that are looking and talking about you is because you are in crutches or wheelchair
Updated Post:
Sameer23, I am aware of recent problems ongoing at Dr Sringari involving the patients and the staff. Alot of it is their own internal problems. Therefore as this has nothing to do with medical aspect of LL, I think you guys should settle personal drama and accusations between yourselves in private about hotel incidence.
As I am aware, you left the care of Dr Sringari awhile back. Therefore it is unknown who is your source of information.
This is not the first time I have heard about ongoing problems between you and Polycrates, it is because of this history that I do not wish for you guys to go back and forth into another personal argument on this forum again.
Similarly there are accusations made about you. This is the reason why I have removed your posts.
Recently there have been an number of posts with the same message of Call/Find Dr Sringari for surgery and I have to question why. As I have stated, people should make up their own minds and find the Doctor in person at whichever hospital they are interested for consultation.
Polycrates: your observation is right. Your tibias are now longer than most of peoples.
Don't do femurs, you're at perfect height now.
photos would be good. but don't make them too large and don't wear a lot of clothes. lol and no its not meant to sound like that lol.
I really doubt that 6 cm would make you look so un proportional that your legs are longer than people who are 6"3. I think your possibly being paranoid.
photos sitting down from a side angle would be really cool also.
