Smallguy External Tibiae Dr. Sarin 2013

Edit Post

Yes, I'm serious. My credibility has taken a dive by now. But I didn't say it just to cheer short ppl but I truly believe it. I know I'm more optimistic than most guys on this forum. But as technology advances and there is a market for this procedure, torso lengthen, entrepreneur/doctors will capitalize on this procedure once the technology becomes available :-)

Thanks. I'm wearing 1.5 inches of platform in the video. So I think I could have room for at least 5cm more and come back home to wear flat shoes. But I will be careful of not overdoing it if I ever have a chance for another LL at all.

I wish you all the best brother, whichever way you decide!
Hope it will turn out well in the end.

Thanks. These surgeries are riddle with complications and random outcome. Even if you go with the very best doctor, it's very hard to achieve a perfect outcome. I have read of many post-surgical complications from Dr. Betz. I also paid $7800 to go with the very best orthodontic for braces. But my mid-line is still shifted to the left by 1mm! My friend has rhinoplasty with the very best surgeon but after one year her nose tip dropped. She came to him yesterday and he told her that he couldn't help her with the current technology and that she could come back the same time next year. Her nose still looked great (compare if she has gone to a cheap doc) but it wasn't perfect.

So the only thing you can do from these type of surgeries is just hope for the best and maybe try to solve any problem if they do occur. I'm going back to my orthopaedic to fix this 1cm discrepancy as well as the x-leg.

I can be content with my height now. But I just feel I still want to chase after my ideal. I'm still young, single and still want to compete for the best which life has to offer.

I don't suffer from any sort of pain, can run better everyday and enjoy more and more of life. Perhaps, that's why I feel so optimistic about this surgery.

Hey Smallguy,

It sucks to hear that you have a 1cm discrepancy. I remember a while back you mentioned Sarin verified the equal distraction of the legs before frame removal when I mentioned I was worried about this occurring to me. I think I mentioned that Sringari wasn't even doing this earlier in the year. He was merely going by the measurement produced from the cheap x-rays we get at Paras. He said he's doing a verification now, but as the end draws near for me, this is something becoming more and more worrisome to me. I expressed my trepidation to the doctor and he said he'll get Harry to take me to a CT scan before frame removal as well as the final verification. Guess there's not much else I can do.

Well, it's good that you have read this. Then you can fix it while you're still in frame. The measurement at that para hospital was incorrect, but I believe it was even more accurate than the ones Sarin use at his hospital. That's really sad!

To fix this, just measure your legs manually. I was suspicious at the gym when I felt my left knee was slight lower than my right. When I got home, I decided to measure them both with a measuring tap. You can measure the bottom of your heel up to the top of your knee and compare both legs. This will give you a broad idea of your legs proportion and if there is a discrepancy, fix it while your bones have not consolidated yet.

Yes, again... I will try to see if our benevolent medical system will save me from this one. I will call to schedule an appointment to see the orthopaedic surgeon sometime next month.

Hey Smallguy,

You nickname does not suits you any more  , but I am not the first one who tells you that, right. Your videos look great, especially after all you've been through (5 surgeries, discrepancy etc) . congrats on your achievements, new heght-new life

I don't know how young are you,  broken heart hurts the same at any age, but heals better when you are young. We tend to think about good things that happened to us while we were in the relationship, but if you think about some negatives, something that wasn't particularly right in your relationshion, maybe it would be easier for you to go on with your life and enjoy again that 8hours/8minutes universal play 

BTW, there's cosmetic surgical scar removal, I don't know the prices yet, but my guess shouldn't be that high. Could be an option.

Anyway good luck on everything.

In your spare time, could you share the names of the Korean songs? Lol - they're pretty good. How do you know so much about Korean bands?

if you liked those musics maybe then you should give a shot for other bands like
Bi Rain (bad boy, rainsim, hip song)
Lee hyori (10minutes, miss korea, bad girls, chitty chitty bang bang, u go go girl)
Big Bang ( fantastic-baby, lie, haru haru, blue, la la la , Hallelujah, A good man, baby goodnight, Ego)
JYJ( Empty heart, Why did I fall in love, mirotic, Intoxication)
Beast (shadow, caffeine, trouble maker, Now, fiction)
snsd( taxi, boys, Run devil Run, oh, Gee)
CN blue (loner, intuition)
sistar ( my boy, Alone, gone not around, give it to me)
4 min (hot issue, HuH, volume up)
kara ( Wanna do, runaway, mister)
EXO(MAMA)
it would be better if you watching them live

I have heard same feedback from another patient of Dr Sarin  that the Doctor does not compensate for limb length discrepancy of because he does not measure the overall bone with sophisticated software.

Dr. Sarin may just take a regular tape measure and randomly measure two spots on your leg and re-assure you they are "equal" but in reality they are not...this is what happened to multiple patients, one of whom was the HLN patient who ended up with 1-2 cm discrepancy because of this.

Thanks for the internet that we're getting this info.

It's just hard to believe that some people will trust their life and their future with little research, and some even push thru even knowing those disturbing reviews.
