I'm happy for you raisin, good luck.
Could you post some of the exercise routines you used to prepare for the surgery?
I also want to strengthen and stretch my legs as much as possible before I lengthen but I'm having troubles finding the right routines, thank you.
Re: Uppland
Sure, I'll look some up for you and post a few appropriate ones. The most important stretches are those that loosen up your hamstrings and your quadriceps, and improve the complete range of movement in your pelvis. When were you planning to have your surgery?
BTW, you can just call me Bran. 
Re: coppkillr, DoingItForMe
I personally can not comment on the quality and strengths/weaknesses of the Precise nail. In my situation, I could've gone to Paley, which is much closer to me and would've allowed me to pretty much stay at home for the lengthening. However, I went with Dr. Betz because after my consultation with him and meeting with several patients who were having their removal at the time, I felt that this was the best option for me. Cost, travel, and recovery might be a deal breaker for some people, but I was fortunate that I did not have to concern myself with these issues. Therefore, I was able to select the best lengthening option available to me. Now that I'm nearing the conclusion of the lengthening phase, I have no regrets with my choice. Just looking forward to the recovery phase and eventually, returning back home.
You know what Bran? That would be really really helpful for everyone on the forum, we can never prepare enough for such a brutal surgery.
Thanks a lot mate.
Hey Bran why didn't you split the 10cm between two segments?
Would it bother you to post photos of your post-lengthening and pre-lengthening proportions?
Re: Uppland
I could actually do you one better bro, I'm currently trying to convince one of my housemates to contribute to the forum. He's completed his lengthening phase and he's like the stretch king in the house. Condition is near perfect for someone who completed 10. I'm thinking 2 points of views should be even more helpful for those interested in the lengthening process, especially those of relative success.
Welcome to the forum.
Oddly enough, I hate raisins but I really like Raisin Bran.
Re: theuprising
Personally, I did not want to do two surgeries. The recovery time for tibias is much longer than that of femurs. So, if I did both surgeries, I'd have to do tibias first. Additionally, my tibias were already oddly long, so it would not have made much sense. When I went for my consultation, I had like 7-8cm in mind, but as I mentioned in my previous post, the strength of my nail (13mm), the solid condition I have while lengthening past 8cm, and my pre-surgery ratio (86%) all led up to my choice of doing 10cm+.
Both tibia and femur surgery is quite stressful for your body. However, if I did do 2 surgeries, I probably would've gone to at least a total of 15cm.
Re: KiloKAHN
Haha, you and me both man, I think I've just seen way too many cheesy California Raisin commercials for one lifetime.
