Does he/she get a worsened duck ass syndrome post surgery? any other problems besides the duck ass?
I am curious after seeing Unicorn's pics, she had her surgery back in july 16 and she is still suffering from duck ass syndrome till this day.
This is what i suffer from and i believe this will cause problems with recovery when i get LL.

In theory (theory because I haven't done LL), if you lengthen your femurs it will get worse at first. But through PT, you should be able to correct it, at least some.
its more pronounced when i stand relaxed, otherwise i always try to walk with an upright posture. I have bought a brace online an year ago to correct it but i am not sure if that would be helpful especially considering the fact that braces are usually specially made for each individual and there can't be a one-fix-all solution i guess.
Also do people even with normal posture get that duck ass syndrome? I read that Dr.Paley warns about this happening and says it can only be then fixed by surgery which he charges 30k additional if i am not mistaken...

Paying 30K to get rid of duckass sounds unnecessary to me. First attempt to prevent it, and then walk and walk and it'll go away.
One tip that I wish someone had given me before LL (and you can apply this months, years before you do LL)- learn to sleep on your stomach. If you can manage to sleep on your stomach during LL, that should be great for battling duckass. I absolutely never sleep on my stomach so I couldn't do it during LL either.
I'm pretty sure no one on the forum's qualified to give you an exact answer for this btw. Ask a surgeon.
Sleeping on a stomach causes more damage to the spine lol. It’s not good, I used to do that and had low back pain, I try to sleep on my back or side now but it’s mostly side, I am trying to turn it into a full back sleep slowly but surely because it is the proper form to sleep and helps in correcting posture problems.
I believe I will just see a chiropractor here and ask for help in correcting this mess before I think of LL.
