Hey OP, seems like the operation and recovery went well. Were there any complications involved? Was recovery really painful?
Does the doctor do slightly bigger lengthening? (6-7cm) What's the maximum length increase he will do in 1 operation?

They dont recommend going over 6 cm, but you are allowed to do it i think. Crimson did. i can tell you that it isnt worth it to do that much, you will sacrifice athleticism, recovery time and proportions doing 8 cm.
I only had a small infection but it hurt a lot and prevented me from bending my knee for a while. But nothing serious. Right now i have no issues and just need to wait to get frames removed in probably 2 months. Also day by day my walking gets more relaxed and coordinated. I can already walk and make it look quite normal, but i have to concentrate a bit to do it.

Cool, thanks I will go for 6cm if I do end up choosing this particular doctor. Glad it went mostly ok for you.

Yeah good idea, and thanks. However just so you are aware, there is a risk that this clinic doesnt allow patients to lengthen at home anymore, due to a certain other patient not following instructions....im not sure they have this policy 100% now, but i got a PM from another user that told me that when he was going to arrange a time with the clinic they said he couldnt lengthen at home because of this.
So i hope they change their minds because they would lost many clients doing that business model, hopefully you can convince them otherwise if you wish to lengthen at home.
Wow really, do you by any chance know how much they charge to stay in the hospital/clinic?
Been doing some more research into this. Why is Bagirov so cheap compared to other doctors? Is there something I'm missing?

You only get 5-6 days to stay in the clinic included with the price for the surgery, most other surgeons offer you to stay like 3 months more or less included with their price for surgery.
There are some options in India that are similar in price to Bagirov. Also Dr Mitcovic had a similar price before.
Thanks, yes that makes sense now.
Been reading some more of the thread and this got me very intrigued.
Quote from: Wannabegiant on March 02, 2014, 04:25:37 PMIve been asked that a lot. The main reasons is that i know i will be satisfied with myself at that height (178 cm), it will be much easier to hide the truth from my friends with a smaller height gain, and also because i wont have to be hide from them for as long. I dont want to risk getting weird proportions either, and i want to have a higher chance of achieving full recovery.
But i can understand why people think one should get as much as possible from such a huge sacrifice of time, money and effort that is LL.
But from my point of view, with gaining 4 cms, i already will have to wear the frames for a minimun 5 months in total (including lengthening phase) and that means no partying, no sex etc for the entire period. summer will be ruined since i cant swim and wear shorts among other things, and i will always have to be cautious when outside and meeting friends because they might notice the frames under my trousers, or they might bump into me and find out.
I wouldnt want to increase that period with even one month or more just to be maybe 1 cm taller than the 4 cm i planned on.
I also intend to intensively try out taking glucosamine sulphate once i enter the consolidation phase, and probably permanently after im healed. I have heard of people getting as much as 3 cms of height after some months of taking the pills every day. How much you can gain from this probably varies from individuals but it has been confirmed to give some height at least, also it is gained in the spine so it will counter balance the proportions i get from this surgery a bit.
I honestly can't believe I've never heard of this possible height increasing supplement before until now. I read some more here http://www.naturalheightgrowth.com/2014/02/20/non-prescription-supplement-scientifically-proven-make-grow-taller-even-closed-growth-plates/ and it can increase your height by potentially up to 3cm like you say. Did you notice any difference with these? I really want to try it out.

I havent tried them actually yet, i read some pubmed study that suggested it could potentially slow down consolidation of fractures, so i decided to wait with them until after im done.
Now the 3 cm gain is mostly just hear-say, not confirmed. There have been some posters online claiming they gained that, but who knows maybe they measured wrong or something. I do think anyone who takes it can expect to gain a mm or two at least.
