Yellowspike - Dr. Guichet, Internal Femurs, Late 2014

Edit Post

Ok folks...my big day is tomorrow at 7am. I'm not nervous one bit because I have literally gone through hell this past week after arriving in London. Will discuss more later. I am shooting for around 6.5-7cm (currently 167cm morning/166cm night). I am a Caucasian American male, in my very early 30s.

I did the pre-training in Milano, and achieved an increase of 55% muscle strength over 3.5 weeks (most patients get 25%-35% I am told). Holla.

Wish me luck!

Wish I was there with you!

Keep us updated. 

Thanks pal

I should add that my main inspiration for choosing Dr. G is ShyShy. I'm aiming to be ShyShy part 2

I was also impressed with how Dr. G handled Leechlet...another reason I'm here.

Thanks PD! Talking to you these past few months definitely helped get me over the hump to just do it.

Best of luck to you, although you won't need it with such a great surgeon.

Haha thank you MDoW! He's definitely not cheap....cheaper than Paley and Rozbruch, but not by that much (Rozbruch is worse due to crazy hospital fees). I will definitely be working hard the next few years to recoup, though luckily it didn't break the bank by any means. I guess the one good thing about doing LL after your 20s is that you have more cash. Though all else equal, I wish I was 25 and doing this hehe

In my hospital room now waiting to be taken to the "theater."

I REALLY need a sedative.

My surgery ended about 2 hours ago and I am doing super! No pain, and did the bike for 20 minutes right after, and have been walking with crutches. So glad it's over..l I am so tired!

Edit Post

The guys. So tired. Gonna try to bike again soon and crutches to bathroom. Pain is a 1/10 when I sit still, 4-5/10 when I move. But I'm due for pain meds and on nothing right now. And NO CATHETER! Must've been taken out before I came to lol

Just went to the bathroom on my own using crutches and washed my face. Then did the bike a second time for 40 minutes. I've had no pain killers since around 2pm (it's almost 8 now), but only painful when I have to move my legs (4-6/10 pain). In a bit I'm gonna go to the bathroom again to brush my teeth and floss lol
