10)  Hogging the Forum

Constantly replying to a thread (or multiple threads) by repeating the same points and not adding anything new to the discussion. This can be annoying to other members as they keep reading the thread only to find out nothing new is in the discussion   The threads may be locked if the discussion  is going in circles.


Hey man I am not hogging the forum. I was writing in reply to the new post by SAD

I dont know this person. I dont know if he is telling the truth but other Monegal patients are lying for sure. I know that.

Do you not know who I am?  do you want a date with me?  :P :P :P Remember Cooper I am taller than you

I am so sorry to tell you that my first leg is well how you can check, no pain and very good healing.

This is my healing 6 months after surgery.

this is one of the most legitimate diaries. thanks a lot man!

very happy you're doing alright.

Thank you SAD for the support

I just try to tell my experience as other patients did before (Glenn, Iamready, Sweeden.......) and what are pros and cons of the different nails.

I think there is not a perfect device and every doctor try to do the best for their patient.

Some user has told me if I can bear all the weight in my first leg. Yes I can do it this is the video.

Hey Yagen. Congratulations on your new height!

May I ask how much did you spend? I'm considering spain as one option to do LL and, after reading your diary, femur lengthening with Monegal seems like a good call.

@NoRegrets

I'm surprised how other users have a list of doctors who recommend when they have not been operated by those doctors.

My first recommendation is not to do this surgery. (The best surgery is when no surgery) Height is not the most important thing in life.

Many thanks for you best wishes

just two weeks for finishing lengthening.

I'm tired psychologically!!!!

this experience is like a roller coaster, but I'm closer to my goal.

Since I reaches 4 cms is a bit more difficult to extend because I lost FLEXIBILITY and start to have swelling in the knee medial ligament, but when I exercise I miss when this cold I have to massage it.



But despite this, my leg is more strength and I can do more things. I'm in the gym for an hour and a half, 20 minutes of cycling and different exercises. Also I usually go to the pool for an hour. It's amazing to walk into the pool.

I attached a video of the leg press with my left leg and both, I can not bear all the weight in my rigth leg because I have not finished lengthening yet. But my left leg looks very well.

Hey yagen. Could you post a pic to show how much does a 6cm difference between each leg looks like? If you have taken one at the start or before your second leg surgery. Just to have an idea how much 6cm looks like

So, do you regret it?

Why do you recommend not doing it? You seem to be doing great.

@TIBIKE this video is before second surgery

https://vimeo.com/176316385

@NoRegrets

I am happy at this point, but LL is not a bed of roses (bored, pain.....), . You are going to win XXX cms, but you are going to lose other things (time, money...)

If my son wolud like to do LL, I will tell him "think twice", its a personal decision and you have to want it a lot.

in other way, I attached a video in the pool

Its a great feeling when you can walk into the pool.

Everything comes with a price I guess :) It's up to us to decide if its worth it.

After the last check with the doctor, I just had 0,25 mm to lengthen.

I saw there three new patients. My bones are healing very good in both legs.

After reached 4,5 cm I lost flexibility and the mucles were harder.

This is a video of my first steps just 2,5 months after surgery.

Thanks for all the best wishes.

Thanks so much for your post! I wish a good recovery.

I have just undergone bilateral surgery at Clinica Diagonal 2 days ago.

It seems that the first cms are easier than the last cms, is that true?
So if you lengthen 8 cm the last 3 cm might be harder than lengthening the first 5, right?
