Sounds like you will be walking like a normal person after roughly 6 months (post surgery).
When I asked this question to Dr. Parihar, he said 10-12 months. Dr. Paley on the other hand says...6 months.
And how did you get duck-ass? Because you have not been walking / exercising much?

6 months is minimum, because I didn't do much of weight bearing for a long time. People who stand regularly(with support obviously) from Month 1 will walk unaided much sooner, provided they can. Also Dr. Parihar will always give you the bad case scenario so you're prepared. He told me 9 months till I walk unaided after surgery when I first asked him.
My duck ass wasn't nearly as bad as I've seen other people post pics of, but it just happened. I honestly have no idea how it formed. The good news is you can sort it out by just lying on your stomach for an hour a day for a month or so, so it wasn't a big deal for me.
How's everything going?
Can you tell me the wingspan?

Good. Nothing worth updating every 3 days or so.. I'll update monthly on the callus, when I walk unaided and that's about all that's left.

I've read that going 8cms over your wingspan is where you start to look noticeably odd. Theoretically, you could go for 165cms, but you should decide based off your own mockups.
Update: I still do have duck ass. It's not gone as much as I thought it was, and it makes me measure 1cm lower than what I should measure as. It's like the guy in this picture:

It's not severe, but it needs to go asap. Lying on my stomach for an hour or so a day hasn't done much(it's been 2 months). The annoying part is that most exercises to get rid of duck ass I can't do until I'm fully consolidated and walking/exercising like a normal person. I've pre-poned my next appointment to talk about it, but I have a feeling it's gonna take months to go. 
Just dropping by to wish you good luck with the LL process. Duck ass isn't as big of a deal in my opinion as some of the other things. I remember that when I was done with LL, my butt was non-existent. And then my walking gait was off. My duck ass wasn't as bad, because I stretched a lot each day. Laying on my stomach isn't what got rid of my duck ass. I had to do this stretch where lay down at the end of the bed, butt to the edge, and then let your legs drop to the floor. I was able to touch the floor with my foot, one leg at a time. And then did this everyday to really stretch out those muscles/tendons that connect your belly to your legs. Duck ass happens when that part isn't stretched out enough, so you can't straighten yourself.

Thank you. This video on getting rid of the pelvic tilt/duck ass is probably the best info I've found online:
But I won't be able to do any of this until I'm fully consolidated. I hope duck ass doesn't set itself for life in a few months so I get my posture and hopefully the extra little height back. I'll give your exercise a try in the meantime.
