so you told your 2 friends/flatemate you did it? what was their reactions?

would you tell your future partner about this?

next time, please see about injections  as blood thinners. they can help avoid stomach issues. dvt is a serious risk with this type of procedure. i think if you had informed your doctor about your problems with tablets he wouldve advised it himself

do you have duckass currently?

[Thehighest]

It's not ugly at all. It's clean and looks fine. I don't think LON is safe anywhere. I wouldn't recommend LON.

Why not LON? Is the only option I have becuase of money, externals are too uncomfortable and too long process

LON is the same as externals for the lengthening phase which is very uncomfortable. I was only able to sleep on my stomach and side because of precice this wouldn't have been possible with externals. Also, LON has a risk of infection so you have to be very strict with cleaning and taking care of the wounds.

No duckass. My hamstrings are tight but no other issues.

Looking forward to your diary. I had my consultation with Dr. Parihar recently and looking to get the surgery done in 2023. I hope all goes well for you.

My original target was 8 cm but I got early consolidation at 6cm. Will go for rebreak in the next 6-9 months. AMA

what caused early consolidation? how can it be prevented?

[tallmen]

You can't really do anything. If you increase the speed of distraction then you'll start developing nerve issues. I was doing 1.2mm per day and still got early consolidation.

I see..Does Dr. Parihar monitor for any nerve injury issues?

They are very obvious doc's don't have to do anything special to monitor those. You'll start developing weird sensations and numbness. He mainly monitors the tightness and Xray.

Hey man, how are things going with you? Would love to get an update on your situation.

I can walk with crutches and for very short distances, I can walk unassisted.

[Vogel]

Please give some updates on your situation. How’s your walk and all.

[tallmen]

The walk is not 100% normal but people don't notice anything wrong. I can jump, run and do squats.

Hi congrats on the lengthening. I am considering going with Dr Parihar soon.

How was your pain level during legthening phase, with and without pain killers. On a scale of 1-10. I might shoot you a few DMs when I get closer to getting the surgery. Thanks!

It's hard to put it on a scale. It was painful but bearable. After paracetamol, it was like 1-2 maybe 3 max and without paracetamol, it was 5-6. I didn't take any other pain medicine.

Hi overandover, congrats on your journey.

Are you going to do the rebreak with Dr Parihar? In general how would you rate his team and the facilities?

I am not sure what you mean by respecting your privacy. They don't sell your data or anything. It's a hospital or not facebook.

not selling but using for ads and stuff like that

"see this man's xrays he got 5cm in our hospital" like that

Or a data leak or something like that

maybe I am paranoid but do you think a patient can hold this procedure details to himself till death here? asking bcoz I do not want any body to find out lol I am telling I am getting acl or something like that

They don't advertize at all. They don't accept cosmetic patient easily. Cosmetic LL is not his main practice and he rarely do cosmetic LL (like 3,4 cases per year) so ads are out of the question.

[toyz]

ya thats true they are not even interested in cosmetic

what about that company (not nuvasive something else) which will buy nails for your behalf? is it enough to just transfer them the money and they will buy it or should you share any private informations to them? Did this concern you?

[toyz]

What are top things you didn't liked in this clinic?

1.PT
anything else??

[toyz]

Yeah, it's better now.

[toyz]

Did you meet the dr in person once before commitng for surgery or did you finalise all thru zoom and send ct scans directly and ordering the nail without meeting the drs?
i had zoom call but they are not responding to my email after that.

In-person consultation and ct scan. Better to go and meet them in-person.
