•   Friday 12th June – I thought after having my daily walk inside my hotel room that id try walking without the support of the walker for the first time. I let go of the walker and tried walking forward. To my surprise I was able to do it. I spent the next 10 minutes placing the walker in front of me and walking towards it without holding it. It had only been 3 months since the operation on my left leg and nearly 4 months since my right leg. My legs were now strong enough to 100% weight bear. This is a great result as it means I am well on track to be walking fully unaided in the next month to month and a half. The knee extension and equines on my right leg is still a bit behind. Hoping to have it completely stretched out within the next month or 2. Im currently using 10 kilos on my right leg and 5 kilos on my left when stretching. The equines and knee extension on my left leg is almost at 100%.

Hi Descreteuser,

Could you tell me approximately, how much do you weigh? I currently weigh around 94kg and am a little worried I need to continue to lose a bit more weight before considering this device.

P.S., please see the last PM I sent you, thanks!

i was about 80 to 85kg. I have chicken legs tho so if you have bigger legs chances are you will lose alot more weight in your legs after you are not using them.. id try and get as lean and fit as possible before the surgery it will make it easier when eventually trying to walk.. if you are a bit overweight now maybe try and drop to 85kg before the surgery because trying to lose it after the surgery will be impossible.

Awesome. That's not too far off my weight. I'm naturally quite muscular but I could stand to lose more weight beforehand for sure  My Experience So Far- External Monolateral - Dr Mitkovic

i wouldnt worry.. you only have to worry about the weight that your legs are holding not the actual weight in your legs.. you could easily have 10kg more in your legs than me so id say ud be fine at 94kg

Good to hear that. I have good upper body strength which should come in handy. I'm going to upload some mock-up images later on today hopefully, and get some opinions on my proposed lengthening amount.

Thanks.
