Quote from: California2 on June 06, 2019, 08:16:29 PMToday will be my final day contributing to this forum. I wish all the best to those who elect to undergo the procedure.
Today will be my final day because I am cleared to bear up to 80% of my weight. I successfully lengthened my tibias nearly 4 inches via the external Ilizarov procedure and LATN. This means that I now stand at almost 5' 10' in my dress shoes. I have no complications to speak of and am well on my way to full recovery; thus, I see little benefit in continuing to monitor this forum.
I am very pleased with my choices throughout this process. I am especially pleased that I selected St. Petersburg for both the exceptional quality of care and the extremely reasonable price. My only regret is that I did not do this 30 years ago.
This forum is full of toxic posters who will never attempt leg lengthening. Similarly, this forum is full of posters who are not emotionally sound enough to successfully complete the surgery. I encourage serious candidates to sift through the bulk of posts to find the 5-10% that might contain accurate AND useful information for your situation.
Most important, if you will attempt this surgery, listen to your surgical team and your body. Goals are nice at the start, but only your body and your surgical team can give you meaningful input on whether to continue to pursue your goal.
Last, what makes leg lengthening especially challenging is that most surgeons righteously recommend lengthening of no more than 10% as the safe limit; however, most lengtheners will not be satisfied with a mere 10%. Consequently, to get a meaningful height increase, you generally must accept some risk.
If you do not heed the advice of your surgical team and listen to your body, the consequences of risk can be catastrophic. If you listen to your surgical team and your body; and, provided you are mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared for a long and sometimes difficult process; then, you can successfully lengthen a meaningful amount just like me.
Good luck to all who elect to undergo this procedure.
thank God and get the feck outta here.
Oh I hope you really leave this forum and not go back to your other account Pyotr (you seem to have a history of "quitting" when the heat is on, only to resurface with new account and spread bile)
I hope admin can mark this thread with a big warning sign: "how not to do LL".
Good luck you 60-year old, hip-replacement wearing, 9cm lengthening, disproportionate, mentally defective s0n of a b!tch.
9 CM on tibia and seeing your legs becoming deformed in mirror, it never occured to you that maybe it is a good idea to stop lengthening?
And this diary is a big red mark on the savages in russia doing this kind of surgery. The other diaries of dropfooters, nerve damaged idiots jim_dabarber, overdozer, rgkey, android etc. dont really flatter your surgeon, do they? I also hope admin can delete your posting history of shilling for these surgeons. It hurts and misleads future patients!
You epitomize everything wrong with this forum.
St. Petersburg Lengthening -- DISTRACTION COMPLETED
How are comment's like that allowed on the forum?? when someone is doing a LL, he instead need support. That's a weird forum. U want to share your experience but it makes it worse for you.
I don't think we have full control over a successful LL,
I think you never know how your body reacts to it, I have so many complications like drop foot, nerve damage, curled toe, ballerina foot, knee contraction, stiff ankles, edema.
I tried my best to listen to my doctors and exercise but most of these problems were out of my hand.

Hey tlannister
I see your points but your attitude is simply wrong. You can address what you want to say in a much more mature way. Your comments are really too vicious. Hope you make better comments in the future.
Hi California2
Thanks for sharing your hard and long journey with us! You finished the hardest part of lengthening!
Hope you have a great recovery!
Wish you peace and happiness!
How small is your d!ck? jesus lol

lol your 90% is probably just some walking. jumping after tib and EXTERNAL femur lengthening? its a joke haha. no doc in the world does EXTERNAL femur lengthening. you also had nerve damage I think? Did it recover fully? i certainly bet you cant jump and run lol. EXTERNAL femurs form scar tissue and cut through thick femur muscles, no one in the world who does EXTERNAL femur lengthening would be able to run and jump.
doing EXTERNAL femur lengthening to save some money is silly. you can always earn back money but the joy of jumping and running you wont get back...
There are external ways with Lon, with an orthofix tool and a nail inside. It's not like the iliazrov frames it's just a temporary fixator that can be removed after you finish lengthening.

I may be harsh in my wording, but dont attack that.. attack my points instead.
I do not want California or other LLers to feel bad. I am not randomly insulting people for fun. I am writing in this particular diary because it causes people pain and leads them to a high risk surgery. Those risks can be mostly mitigated by going to safe country with safe method.
In fact, I just clicked into that moron aboves diary and found these two posts in page two:
Quote from: Big Decision on February 25, 2018, 09:35:02 PMhey guys
new here and very confused
i'm thinking about LL for a while and don't know really how you guys chose your Dr, i'v sent message to a few Dr and they never got back back to me
It's a big decision because i do martial art and i got flexible legs, Split, not a problem and i know after all these im gonna loose it all!!'but i have made my mind!!
Quote from: Android on February 25, 2018, 10:49:48 PMAbout taking time off, I'm going to just quit my job, staying wherever the clinic is to make recovery as easy and safe as possible. Look around the forums and you'll see this mentioned by others too, like Purushrottam. Some take a month or more off in the form of a sabbatical, don't expect to do that unless you've been with a company for a while. And if you're doing external femurs, you're really going to regret having to work.
Big decision and android at this point in time (2018) were healthy individuals with bright future ahead. Fast forward to today, they are crippled, certainly influenced by the fake diaries of jim_debarbar, pope, overdozer and the rest of the rent boys. How would big decision and androids life be today if they had made the right choice? think about this. Dont come at me because I use some harsh words, look deeper into the problems caused by these diaries. Android, big decision and probably many who dont even have diary were normal people like you and me. Deceived by what they read here, they made a horrible judgement. Now their lifes are changed upside down. It could have been avoided if the moderation of this forum was present, but its not.
When there is lack of governance, it creates a vacuum which is filled by people like me taking the matter in our own hands. Thus me insulting California to make readers aware that this type of outcome is not acceptable for a LLer in 2019. We have come further than this with technology.
I will be honest, california2, in particular. I would take my belt off and fecking whip him black and blue if i ever saw him in real life. A massive sh!tehawk. Not because I disagree with his opinions but the obvious damage he causes to new patients reading this.

Nerve damage is gone completely. Im able to fully dorsiflex both feet. I only say 90% recovered because i cant run as fast or jump as high yet as before but then again i havent been working on it as much as i should. But im able to jump in moshpits at festivals and i can hold my ground very damn well.
Are you a doctor? Or why are you making assumptions ? External femur bolts dont cut through muscles you dipshiit 😂 shows how much you actually know about externals. Scar tissue? Yes of course! Especially around the knee but i trained hard and broke all of the scar tissue and regained full knee flexion. God im so tired of this freaken forum. Ill update my diary with videos just to make you dumbasses feel stupid. And even then you guys will say im a fake. This is the same damn reason vets leave the forum. So much hatred and toxicity.
