Quote from: Dozer on January 15, 2016, 06:03:04 PMActually Dr. Kulesh does offer forearm lengthening too, but I'm going with humerus - should be easier to tolerate and recover from I guess. About 3 cms
oh i meant humerus* my bad.Alright good luck with that 
Quote from: Dozer on January 15, 2016, 06:03:04 PM12 cm isn't too much unless you're already average/tall, which means relatively longer legs. And AL is required anyways if you go over 8 cm IMO. That's the thing about two surgeries - you gain more, but you also gotta give more. Take a look at Apo The God - he's my inspiration.
Well it doesnt mean he did an inspirational thing just because he did 20 cm.Its not a good thing.He ruined his body and proportions for sure.Thats why people should have realistic goals for this surgery i think.

I know Apo isn't liked on this forum, but you can't deny that he probably had the best documented recovery and results in LL community. He didn't 'just' lengthen 20 cms (try actually lengthening such an amount). He fully recovered his joints ROM - knee, ankle, hip. He put on a lot of muscle and is in a great form. He also shared a lot of LL material and information with us. Can't deny that.
Not sure if you've seen his latest pictures, but from what I've seen, his results are by far the most impressive.
You're entitled to your own opinion, though.

Considering the existence of this forum...it's clear he has a history of lying...wouldn't be surprised if his recovery was also fabricated in some form...

I dont have any positive or negative feeling for him.I mean i didnt even talk with him in his diary or something.Plus i discovered this surgery like 7-8 months ago.First i found old forum and this one finally.So i have read many diaries,many posts,other stuff..(including apo's)And i believe the information i have about this surgery is not so bad.Also i really dont believe he fully recovered after 20 cm.Its just insane that you are pushing your segments for 10 cm imo.How can you possibly believe that someone can fully recover after 20 cm? wow!I dont even think you can just recover %100 after 8-9 cm.And if you believe that is possible its just because you want to be taller(and you are taller now,you did a big amount) and fooling yourself.And yes ive seen some of his pictures.Maybe its not too freaky.Still just think about it.His torso belongs to a 5'7 guy.When he sits in crowd it will be wierd as fk.But standing? wow a huge 6'3 guy! If i remember correctly his sitting height was not even 90cm.My sitting height is roughly 93-94 and im just 173.He will be shorter than me when we sit but when we stand up can you imagine what it will be like? seriously.. 
Congratulations on getting all your frames removed finally. Wow, you have a lot of mental strength being able to push through externals on both femurs and tibiae. Humerus lengthening should be a breeze in comparison.
This will mark the first diary of a patient lengthening humerus, very interesting.
Wow based on your success I will do my tibia's there for sure! 
Quote from: theuprising on January 15, 2016, 05:49:22 AMWould you post pics in briefs if you went from 167cm to 182cm?
Yes I would and I have.
What's the problem if you cover your face? Why even write a diary if not showing the way it really is?

This is so spot on.
Lengthening that much will totally ruin your body for life.
Constant aches. Difficulties in rang of motion. Sitting awkward in every car there is, look like a joke when sitting down, spider legs, forget about descent running and much more to it.
