Hey guys,
only one day left until my Limb Lengthening Surgery. When I was doing a lot of reasearch (since nearly a year now) i found that Diaries are really helpful so as a thank you to all the diary writers, i will post my Diary here and on Tiktok
@mission170cm
So what happened before surgery:
3 weeks ago I met with the doctor in person. He explained to me the differences of the common Limb Lengthening Devices like LON and Precice. They did a simulation of me how I would look with longer tibias and femurs. The surgeon appared to me very professional. At the beginning I was thinking of LON in Turkey and after this conversation i am really glad i did not do it. At limb lengthening you take to risks in my opinion. First the surgery, second the process. In turkey 90% of the people i saw have a duckass after completing lengthening. That is because of too fast lengthening. I mean with LON you want to be finished as soon as possible because people can see the device and you cant sleep on your side so on and so forth. With internal nails you can lengthen at a slower rate and dont get duckass, so you dont have to still work months to get it away instead of focusing on your regeneration. I think I am starting to write a lot lol
So I packed my stuff, like a heating pad, massage pistol, and went my way.
Today I get my blood checked and tomorrow in the morning i have my surgery. I will keep you guys updated. If you have any questions or suggestions just let me now. If you want to keep on track with me leave me a follow on tiktok or check here.

Of course. If you pay your operation it will include 4 days hospital and stay and 10 days hotel stay where you also will get physio. You can pay more and stay here to get more physio if you have the possiblities for that. I will Not because of time aspect (work)
The other costs will really depend on you. I did my first meetup with the doctor end of june. So I booked a hotel for one night here (around 120€ for 3 people). Afterwards I came here again this Monday and had 2 nights Hotel booked. This time I paid 300€, again 3 people. Here are very good Hotels in the near of dr becker. I couldnt really find a good Hotel in a walkable distance from the hospital for my parents to stay nearby.
What they also suggested me to buy is tiger balm and a heating pad. Loose and comfy clothing and things you probably have at home. Oh and electrolites. I pretty much think thats it. Of course there are always these little things so you should get a Financial Puffer for that. Oh and after your 2 weeks stay here you should find a physio at your place if you go Home again. 2-3 times a week (so you can calculate cost accordingly)

Hey guys its me again. Sorry for the late reply. I had to keep all my relatives updated haha.
Day 0 (Operation): I was operated very early in the morning at around 8 and was awake again at 11 o'clock. It was my first time in an operation so everything was new for me. I went in happy and came out really happy. Did not feel much pain. Actually didn't even feel my legs haha because of anaesthesia. They showed me some excersises that I should do and everything went fine. After around 4 hours of operation I even could stand on my legs for a few seconds. Could do it really long because anesthesia kicked in again and my eyes started to black out. So I laid in bed the whole day actually. I had a button I could press, so pain killers will be injected to my body. I used it once this day. At night I did not use the button or the strong opioids they gave me, because the pain was not too bad. It hurt of course but it felt more like a sore muscle to me. And the places where the doc went in only hurt when touching.
Day 1: This day I woke up and my legs felt stiff. I thought like how should I walk like this. Then doing exercise, it loosened up again. When the doc came we walked a few steps together with crutches. It gets better every step I do. Everything goes really well so far and I am really glad to choose Dr Becker. I will keep you guys updated. Maybe later I will post a video on TikTok how I am walking right now.
