Hey, guys! I have done my surgery in Mexico, I am happy that I didn't have to go far away from where I live. I live in San Diego
CA, USA. I did a lot of research first, after many research. One of my friend who work in the medicine field, mentioned that limb lengthening is done in Mexico. I contacted the doctor first and then made an appointment, since last September, but not until
last month I decided to go for the surgery. Now I have two weeks with the surgery, and started with the process of lengthening after 7 days. External tibia, I will go for 6 CM. Finally I will grow a little bit more, feeling happy..Im 33 years old, not that young, but I see my body is responding well. so far, good. Only on my left leg swallowed more, but it is getting better now. I just wanted
to share some of my experience with you guys.
No, his name is Juan Martinez, he has done a few surgery las year. And his method is monorail, I like it because it wil leave less scar. So he works in Tijuana, Mexico, at the border with USA.
happy, happy, reaching to 1 CM today. Everything is fine so far. Doing a lot of stretching & exercise everyday.
so I keep myself busy the whole day, that way the day goes fast. Like I said I like the monorail method better than ilizarov, since it has only 4 pins on each leg. And also can sleep better at night, it is not bulky. Saludos!!
Every 1 CM the XR is done to make sure everything is going fine. I have confidence that I'm going to achieve very good results. The doctor suggest not to walk, not even with crutches right now, until reaching the desired heights. I have no problem with that. but I can do exercise using stationary bike, and other type of exercise. the thing is to not be afraid, when going for the surgery, that is my suggestion. Most of the pain is mentally and not much physical. In my own experience I have experienced very moderate pain. And the other thing is that you need to have a plan, in what to do for for the whole process of lengthening, to keep your mind busy, and to take advantage of the time that you will spend. Otherwise you will go mad. about uploading some pics, I have tried, but it doest let me. I don't know why, can some one tell me how? or if you are serious about getting informed you can leave your email of something. Ok Amigos, Saludos!!!!!!
This is better than I expected, I have read so many diary and almost the majority of them with high complication, and this is what I think, that with so many pins in the legs, that make it more painful. In my point of view that LL is not that dangerous surgery, comparing with other surgeries, like heart surgery, brain surgery pulmonary or liver surgery, so do not overthink it. But the mind is so afraid that creates so much fear, thinking nonsense. When you want to do something you have to do it, and not think it so much. They say think twice before you jump, I say jump first and then think as much as you want. In my own experience I have experienced very little pain, right now with almost no pain. I think that is because with monorail there are only four pins on each legs, but the pins are 6 MM thick and not 2 MM thick like Ilizarov. Now the thing here is that you have to choose your own doctor, with one that you will have confidence with, because 70% is depend on you, how your mind work,. If you think only negative thoughts, that is the experience you are going to have. But until now no one has asked a good question. what makes me so happy each day is that Im growing 1 MM per day, so Im not wasting my time no more, just thinking. I encourage you to do it, with your doctor.. Saludos Amigos!!!..
hello! helloo! reaching to 5.5 CM by now, one more and done with lengthening... so far no complication guys! And I don't think I,ll have complication, because with good teraphy, exercises and good nutrition, everything is going to be fine..
Then just going to wait for consolidation and ready to walk and dance, happy, happy. The time goes fast, just keeping my mind busy.
For those who asked about the price, I paid 18K and that's including the physiotherapy, not bad hah...
Saludos amigos!!!
