Hi all, today is 13 days after my surgeon and I want to reach 11.5 cm ideally. What do you suggest to me to better achieve this for tibia?

Doctors: Ghassan Salameh and Schmidt
Device: Salamehfix

Later I will explain you why I choose this doc and the device. So let's the journey begin

11.5cm is way too much for a single segment. Excuse my bluntness, but did the doctors not say anything about that to you?

Yes the doctor tells me that it's ambitious and that we will see. But what I want to know is that if I start to stretch a lot, to exercise a lot will it be possible to do as smoothly as possible. What can be the LONG term consequences for me. In my old days, I don't want to be disabled because of my today's choice!

Even a lot of the guys who have done 7cm on their tibias seem to be having difficulties long after their surgery

Hey Jackson, congrats on your surgery. Thanks for choosing to share your journey with us.

Your goal being labeled ambitious is an understatement, luckily you have time to figure out how much you actually want to lengthen. We all want to be as tall as possible, but don't take for granted two working legs.

Tell us more about yourself, what's your current height? Which region are you from? Where and how much was the procedure?

11.5 cm on tibias means that you'll never walk unaided again because you should lengthen your achilles tendons at least 3 cm which means that you'll be so weak to even stand.

I really can't believe how doctors lying to patients just to take their money.
Any normal doctor would have said to you that anything more than 6.5cm on tibias is risky and anything more than 8cm means permanent disability. 11.5cm is a joke even for femurs.

Anyway, go for 7cm or don't wonder why you got disabled. Your target means that you have no idea what LL is and you'll be lucky if you don't end up a cripple.
I hope Salameh don't let you lengthen as much as you want and behave you professionally, although now he don't tell you the truth only to take your money.

He is completely right and even if you do 11,5 on one segment it will look really weird and ugly.

OK got it but I have read a lot on this site and found that some have done 8 to 10 cm so I don't understand why my case will be different? I'm from Europa. I hesitate between Russia and Germany long time but one of the reason I choose Dr Salameh is to avoid visa issues. In fact if something goes wrong AND ALSO we have to worry about visa etc., this can quickly turn to nightmare...
