The PT is included in the cost or is extra money?..

Hey folks, it is already one year ago when I have been reaching my current new height of 173,5 cm. I am more then happy to have been doing this surgery. In my case everything went well and I am now fully recovered. My bones are fully consolidated, so that I can do the removal soon.

As some questions have been shown up regarding the ratio, of course this is (with 0,65) out of the normal range but I don´t have any problems walkin, jogging or doing other sport and more important when I am wearing clothes nobody is noticing it. Only when I am nked it looks a bit off but even then nobody asked me when I was in a wellness center going to a sauna etc.

I will try to upload some fresh photos when I am gonna have some time. Finally, I stick with my personal believe that weight-bearing nails are a game changer as it allows you to start with the recovery immediatly after the surgery and this enables you to reach long distances and a better recovery at all. There is a reason why professional Athletes are trying to start with their rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible after an injury. Weeks or months in a wheel chair is the worst you can do.
why are you a bit off when nked? your hands and body is much shorter than your legs??

hey ! I'm 163 doing 10cm with Becker in january so same situation.
-you say you are fully recovered : no more duck ass ? Walking looks/feels normal ?
- you say legs look off only when nked. How about arms ? is there sometimes a feeling of weird proportions, even if very small ? is that feeling less strong than with legs ? and appart from how it looks, do you ever "feel" that your arms are short ?

Thanks !!

10 cm is a huge accomplishment. i can barely go through 8cm. i got less motivated day by day. just staying home all day. i was a delivery driver before this so maybe why im so bored just waiting.

Glad to hear you are fully recovered! Looking forward to the pictures.

I'm going for femurs on 5 December.

If the recovery is boring well is good..

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

Awesome results you are an inspiration to me.
In this post you mention stretching 3-4times a day which took you 1 hour + gym and so on. Recently you said you did stretch 3-4hours each day. What is now true?
Was it possible to work in the homeoffice after the 2nd week in terms of pain?
I also want 10cm in Femurs. But wonder about the proportio s being off after.
I'm glad you made it

It is just because of the new femur/tibia ratio. Obviously everyone with a medicine background notice that this does not look normal. My arms are as my body was enough long before as well

Yes, you can do Homeoffice the pain is feasible. The time is more the critical part. I had the luck focus on the lengthening and spent the whole day with stretching, physio, walking, gym etc but I lengthen a lot and that in a quite short time. So maybe if you do less and longer you would have more time to do other things like work but this might be different from person to person. You need to figure out how much you need. Nobody can give you the right blueprint for that…

nice thread. ive always wonder how they do the clicking. ive only seen one video of it. it seems ok. just heard about the pain clicking and nail being infected. still this might be my next preferred choice. people seeing u with duck ass at the gym is ok to you?
