Can't wait for some photos of the frames under pants. I would like to see a walking video also at some point.

Thanks, yeah i value my recovery and athleticism a lot, i was very explosive before the surgery, hoping to be able to recover fully. I have a way bigger chance of doing that when only doing 4,3 cm compared to 6 or 7 cm. Also i cant bear being in the frames longer than i already have too. I just wanted to become close to average and at 5'10 i will pretty much never be considered short. All i need to be happy.

5'10 is an awesome height to be. I am almost that height and, whenever I run into people of 5'10' I always think that it's a very solid and manly height. It's also very practical. 5'10 is, in my opinion, the minimum height to be considered alpha, but it won't keep you from fitting into small cars or cramped airplane seats. I hope you'll love it. How is your walking coming along, by the way? How much do you think that 4,3cm has altered your proportions?

tbh I'd rather struggle a bit in planes and cars and being 6'0

Thats also exactly what ive noticed, 5'10 being the minimum to be able to act like a genuine alpha, thats what i intend to be as i have the looks and the personality for it, but i knew my original height would prevent people from taking me seriously.

My walking is getting better and better, but as mentioned, im still too slow for it to be efficient enough to walk all the time without the walker/crutches, so i still use them most of the time to move around. But i have training sessions every day where i walk a lot without them.

My proportions look better to be honest, 4.3 cm barely does anything to the torso/leg ratio, however i have very long arms so the legs look more proportional relative to my arms now (my bodytype looks less like a gorilla now which is good)

6450 euro for the surgery and 7 days hospital stay. Then i payed for another 5 days at the hosptial, i dont remember the price for hospital stay but its quite expensive.

Then i had 4 flights total, two trips to Moscow and back. I bought each of the tickets for about 900 swedish kronor. Also the medicine i bougth cost about 900 swedish kr as well.

In the end quite expensive but still ends up being less than majority of other options.

so it' all about 7100 aprox so in order to do that you need say 10000euro ?

Hi Wannabegiant,

I am considering getting bilateral tibias with Dr. Bagirov as well; crimsontide's diary is highly informative about the whole process (the lack of after-care part sucks though). It would seem that issues like pin-bending do not feature if you're using his frame. 

I am interested in lengthening around 7.5 cms or so,  along those lines I was wondering how freely can you move around wearing these frames during distraction and then during consolidation period? I mean, I probably would have to wear them for at least 8 months, so is walking up stairs, standing on commuter rails etc. possible? Is there still a lot of pain after the distraction is done?

Thanks in advance for replying!
