He is excellent from a service perspective, that means he is nearly always available via WhatsApp and provides you easy going but detailed answers. So far, I also didnt had any point to doubt the quality of his medical advice. Of course he does not have the same experience like Dr. Betz but first he is a qualified Plastic and Trauma surgeon, secound he is assisting Dr. Betz since three years at every surgery which means that he might have already done more than 300 CLL under the supervision of Dr. Betz and this is by far a lot. Finally Dr. Betz is always there as well, so this all together put me as Patient in a good feeling.

bet you will be very happy when all is said and done

how much did you pay for the surgery?
does your family know?
who has been helping you out with daily stuff or after you left the hospital you were on your own all this time in order to hide the surgery?

also, is it going to be too much of a trouble if you shoot a quick video of how you do a click?

I have remembered that there is also a video of the clicking on Dr. Betz homepage (Part of his Promotion clip on the website). However there is also another one in youtube from another patient.

The clicking is starting at 1,20 minutes of the video and I am doing it right now exactly like the guy is doing it in the video.

Thank you for your answer. Do you think how long after the operation, it would be possible to work homeoffice totally 8 hours per day.
I mean not 8 hours in one part.
For example, working totally 1+1+1+1+0.5...=8 hours per day
Ich meine zwischendurch mach ich Pause wegen der OP.
Hope you could understand what I mean

Probably from day 1, if you split your working time flexible Cross the day and you dont go to a gym or have a real close one and have some help for your home stuff. At the beginning, I have needed 1 hour for the clicking, and 3-4 x 1hour stretching. That's the minimum you should do. The remaining time/work is up to you.

Day 103 / 1620 Klicks / 9,024 cm

Today I have reached the 9 cm  The final goal of 10-11 cm isn't far anymore.
Here is an update how my current proportions look like and I would be happy to get your opinion about continuing with lengthening on:
a) +1cm = 10cm in total
b) +2cm = 11cm in total

Thanks for any view on this.

I have done xRays last week and they still look good with a good performing callus. I am nearly painless - only some tightness in the right gluteus and IT Band which could be hopefully fixed by stretching after the clicking phase. My walking on crutches looks good and I can also walk without crutches a couple of meter but with the respective duck ass. I am so looking forward to the end of the clicking, when I can start with the real rehabilitation and stretching/working on my gait....

Finally I wanted to let you know, that I have done some very well experiences with an old Chinese technique calling "cupping" or in German: Schröpfen https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schröpfen. My PT hast tried it against my IT band pain which I had sometimes during the lengthening and he has used it also for my back and it has worked very well for me.

Proportions look good

Do you have a "before" picture?

Hey man, you look great. I say stop at this height or get the 1cm to make it a total of 10cm.  I think stopping with this height is the best but if getting the 1 or 2cm will give you mental satisfaction than go for it. Good luck!!

One hour PT, one hour gym, 3-5 times stretching (which usually Takes 1 hour as well) will keep you busy the most of your day. At the beginning I have needed about 1 hour for 18-20 klicks on both legs. Now, I am done in five minutes

So if you want to work you  will need to do less and this will probably effect your recovery time
how many days did you use till you could do 18-20 klicks in 5 minutes?
