Penguin i heard from someone did LL, he said after LL his sexual libido decreased, what about you? i think its a psychological problem not related to LL

Edit Post

Not really. I just don't have sexual thoughts as often because I'm too preoccupied with LL.

so you gonna length 7.5 at max, do you have any thought when you gonna walk normally after the lengthening, how many months pre-op you think you will walk normal again

Edit Post

Yes, I'm going to try my hardest for 7.5. We'll just have to see how consolidation goes once I stop lengthening. Dr. P said getting back to my former self like casual sports would take 9 months since the operation day, but he usually gives a safe, long time frame.

9 months to become almost pre-op is a good news man, but too much to walk normally after 9 months

He might be walking more or less( without crutches) normally in 5-6 months, am I wrong?

Rule of thumb is that consolidation takes 2x the time of lengthening. 75 days(2.5 months) for lengthening = 150 days(5 months) for consolidation, so 7.5 months and some miscellaneous time for being fully recovered post-op.

I do think if all goes well I should walk 5-6 months post-op, but since Dr. P's very careful with weight bearing and walking during healing("A month too late's better than a day too early"), which I agree with after seeing programdude's incident, I might be delayed. I might however, get to switch to crutches very soon after I stop lengthening. We'll see when we get there.
