Before LL:
Touch my toes without bending my legs
Can jog fast and sprint 100m within 14sec

After LL:
Touch only at lower shin, cannot touch the toes.
only slow jog or brisk walking, difficult to pick up speed and sprint.
cannot jump high

I dont know whether it is due to internal nail inside...hopefully once remove and everything back to normal.

Those clicks sound brutal lol.

Do you think I should stay for 2 or 3 weeks to get clicking down?  Need to book my return flight soon.


The clicks are easy now. It gets better over time. I would recommend you stay a full 30 days to get in a good routine.

Tibia is 56k euro for surgery, Femur is 53k. I paid an extra 3400 euro for the hotel and clinic. 12 days are included, you pay the extra remaining during stay. in my case was an extra 18 days. i also did room service every night for dinner, the hotel breakfast buffet everyday, and upgraded my room.

Met him 2x and the vibes weren’t there. Plus they use the old precise nail = wheelchair for 3 months due to non-weight bearing nail. No after care support, and you can only do 8cm on femurs.

Betz / Becker are honestly the most advanced doctors in this space. Becker has amazing after care support and his team is top notch.

Plus taking a trip to Switzerland & Germany, experiencing the culture / scenery was very cool.

Yes, I would recommend staying at least 4 weeks to get in a good routine. And in my opinion the surgery isn’t worth it for only 4-5cm… go for at-least 8!

 so you just stayed there a month and went home to US? So PT only lasts a month and then you do it yourself?

For tibia he recommend one month. I was walking without crutches after 2 weeks, so it made sense.

Femurs he says 2-3 months as it requires more training. Some guys stay the full period which is about 4 months.

Interesting.. a lot of people do femur but tibia can be more complicated but also more easy for what you said, the real thing is the PT and to not desesperate because it will last long the lengthening, ¿can you work or do daily thinks like normal ? ¿How many hours do you spend in stretching, excercise and pt?

Tibia are more risky but with a good doctor like Betz/Becker, Paley etc not really an issue. The Point is more that, when you start with tibia in the most cases you will need to do femur as well to improve your tibia/femur ratio of 0.9+. On the other hand it is possible to live with a tibia/femur ratio of 0,7 or less.

  Not that im thinking in tibias I ask myself things.. 10 years ago I woke up from my bed in the winter, was so cold didnt stretch my body was warm and I just felt like a contracture or tendonitis, was so painful 5 minutes after that it disapear, now I can said that is probably because One day jogging didnt step well and felt like the achilles tendon had a injury, the funny part is that I dont feel nothing and painless can run, jump, play soccer everytjinh so dont sure what it is, its back when is cold not like pain but some disconfort feeling in the tendon or is just my mind, a betzbone ir tibia is way to go I think for all patients is better to do in summer to have more relaxed muscles and tendons

Hey maxheight35, can I ask how international calling went for you?

Im trying to do this under the radar solo and am worried that family will call me or vice versa and an international number will show up instead of my contact name.  Then Ill have to go on an explanation of why im in Germany.

Did you take or make any calls when you were there and know how it came across to the caller?

If you have a 9-5 job, or have to sit in an office all day everyday then I highly recommend doing tibia. Personally trade crypto so I work from home.

I spend 20 minutes 3x a day stretching tibias. Gym 3 hours a day. The big one is stretching while in the sauna - this helps more than you’d think!

Personally would not recommend this. Travel to Germany, visit Becker and meet his team. Big benefits including max lengthening potential, weight bearing nails, limited bed rest!

Hi Max,

Just wondering when you'll be updating your Instagram documentary?

Also, how much have you lengthened thus far? Are you still aiming for 10cm in tibias?

Landline?  haha same here.  No Im talking cell phone.  Like if my folks from the US call me in Germany does the call come across weird where they would know its an international call.  Or vice versa if I called them would my name come up on their caller ID or some weird international number.  Thats what Im wondering.  Trying to do this solo....

Hey Max, thanks for documenting the journey. Would be great if you could do a Youtube channel one day - would be much more convenient than watching it on Instagram.
