20 mm?? That seems like a very big amount to lose.
That is almost a third of what most of us have gained in the first place.
I would like to know as well if that includes using internal devices.

I'm sorry, not 20mm. I meant .2cm. So if you lengthen 6.5cm, you get 6.3cm.
Haha you had me really confused there. 20 mm would be substantial. I thought you must have mistyped.
You and I lengthened nearly the same because we are from the United States we wanted 2.5 inches. It will be interesting to see how we feel about our heights once we are back to our normal lives.

Well you had a taller starting height than I did, so I think you'll be set. I think I'll be happy too.
It's just frustrating that I don't know my true height/gain right now. My last X-rays on Feb 3 had me at a little over 6cm, but according to th click file, I didn't hit 6cm until almost 4 days later. So I'm wondering if I gained more than the 6.6cm the click file says I did. Plus, I still have duck ass, so I cant be properly measured yet. I just hope I'm 5'8" or very close to it. That was always my goal.
thanks for the correction. so 2 mm due to compressive losses when dong femurs and probably more due to angulation of the femur??

Dr. G said that we might loose 2mm due to nail compression (but apparently, after 6cm, this compression is very negligible, not sure why exactly), but he didn't say anything about the angle of femurs coming into play. So that I'm still not sure about.

Am sure it Is quite worrying to u...
Apo on the old forum lengthened and lost like at least >4-5 cm above the gains he claimed on the tibia + femur so I am quite worried...
Ie, even if radiographically you gained 6 cm it might only lead to increase in height of 4 cm? Which is what scares me. Would you ask Guichet? He does reply quite promptly to emails I hear.

If it's a radiological discrepancy, I was told it was a 1cm loss. My xrays had me at 7.1cm on feb 3, but I was told I only actually gained 6.1cm at that point. But I'll ask Dr G eventually.

How much did you end up gaining, then?
Measure your height in cm, not in mm. A few mm +/- makes no real difference.
