There goes my Tennis hobby, maybe I should take up Golfing?
Quote from: musicmaker on March 06, 2015, 12:21:14 PMYou've come to a rather harsh conclusion, but perhaps you're right. 
I kinda agree with a lot of what OBG said too.
I feel like a surgery of this magnitude should be reserved only for people who are super short (men 5'6" and below and women 5'1" and below, or something like that).
OBG - regardless of how you may feel right now, your story remains one of my absolute favorites. You were definitely an inspiration to me in the year that I went back and forth on doing LL or not. Question for you - do you think maybe you should've given LL more thought? I think you said you jumped into it fairly quickly. Your starting height wasn't that bad, but I suppose I can understand why you'd want to still do LL at that height. Your starting height is my ending height, and I still feel a tad on the short side, but I'd never do a second LL even if someone paid for it all lol

Uppland, I feel that OBG lost a lot of his explosiveness because he lengthened his femurs at 45 years of age, meaning that he probably didn't have enough growth hormones and other factors in his body to sufficiently rebuild his muscles as before, leading to reduced explosiveness.
People in their late teens and early 20's should be fine. When did you stop growing? Let's say 16. When do you plan to do LL? When you're 22ish? At those two ages, your hormonal profile is actually quite similar, you just aren't growing anymore because your growth plates have parmenently closed, but, if you had growth plates, you'd still be growing because all of the growth-promoting hormones that are in high concentrations in the body until around 28-30 years of age, when they begin to sharply decline.
A good friend of one of my friends lengthened his femurs 8CM internally with Precise 2 with Dr. Lee in Korea. He looks completely normal and can actually jump quite high and play basketball quite explosively from what I've heard. He did LL at 18 years of age. I think that if femoral LL is done before 30 years of age, the chances of full explosive recovery are pretty good.

Geez - I really cut it damn close then (I'm turning 31 late this summer). 
I think a big part of OBG's issues are also the (skiing?) injury he had before doing LL. He's made a remarkable recovery regardless of not necessarily getting full explosiveness back.
As long as I can go to the gym, walk normally, run mostly decently, and have a good sex life, that's all I care about! lol

do you think you can have injection during ll?

You feel that way but what can you really say for certain?
Until I hear from a qualified doctor I will prepare myself for that I might not be as agile after the surgery, I couldn't stand the disappointment if it would happen to me unexpectedly. Thanks for the kind words though.

Yes, you are right.

OBG please keep updating
Now you are in the final phase of ll
Your valuable experienced will help a lot of people that they should or should not do ll
I 'm alway wondering how about life after rod removal
