Hi，bro.
How long time do u have to stay in bed and cannot move without others help，after surgery？

[maxheight35]

Bro keep it up you got this.  No pain no gain.  I think 10cm could definitely still be achieved if you increase that stretching time

LFG 💪

[maxheight35]

Do not permanently disable yourself.  Listen to your body.  There are people who look back and wish they did less.  Not trying to discourage you just want you to have a good outcome.

Best of luck

Absolutely, you are correct. I’ll listen to the body and definitely stop when I truly feel it’s time. Intuition is powerful 🙏

I was walking on crutches and riding the bike exactly 48 hours after surgery. I was surprised! Dr Becker and his team really are top notch and motivate you to be active and walking as soon as possible. And I’ll admit - it helped a lot, I was off crutches fully on the second week after surgery.

yes, this is more important. I made that mistake and i'm still disabled, i did LON on tibia and got a looot of complications, nerve damage, delayed union, etc. I'm getting better but i could prevent all of this had i listened to my body when it was screaming to stop. Function is more important than height.

Wow. Are you still able to walk? How much height did you gain, and how long as it been since you finished lengthening?

hi，bro.
How about the food in hospital and hotel？

I concern about whether i need to bring some instant food？

[maxheight35]

Started walking on the treadmill today. Level .05 speed and level 2.0 incline. Wow it was hard! New video is up on the Instagram story + Week 15 highlight reel 🚀

The food is great. Very high quality. I personally had hotel food everyday but the clinic food is literally the same thing just made differently.

Seen you've completed lengthening at week 16. Congrats Max, how are you currently feeling now?

[lessthanavg8300]

Congrats on finishing lengthening.  The feeling must be amazing.

[short but sweet]

how many cms did you do OP ?

[newLLperson]

So happy to read maxheight's experience as someone considering lengthening only tibias for 5cm. Going back home and already driving and walking after only a month is wonderful.

[RealLostSoul]

how many cms did you do OP ?

Worth checking out my bro’s instagram . He achieved 7.62cm which is exactly 3 inches. He is doing very well now and recovering well.

[oklama]

good job bro, glad you stopped, I feel like going past 7 In the tibs is stupidly risky. how's recovery going?

the magic of weight bearing

however I feel he is also lucky.

[Confidence]

Just realized OP did tibias and not femurs.  A whole 3 inches on tibs is actually insane - very impressive.  If he comes back and does 10cm on femurs he could get up to a solid 5'10 from 5'3.  That's literally life changing

[sixfootandhalf]

This is insane.

Btw, did you get a medical Visa/ how long prior did you apply for?

No more update from him???

[ikocak]

I really appreciated if you update from here also. How is the recovery going?

[sphenopetroclival]

If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread. Redact any information that could be used to dox you.

I really appreciate your effort to show your journey in your highlights. I only wonder, since you could walk again after a few weeks, but you were still in the lenghtening progress, how exactly does this limit your daily life? Were you comfortable enough after 1-2 months to go to the cinema, or what about a bar (standing up)? And driving a car?

For me after 1-2months going outside even for hours is was very tiring. Your not going to want to go to movies or bar. Then you have to go home to stretch. You also cant drink alchol with the meds.

May be something happened to him

[betzbone1236]

Nothing happened to him. Otherwise he would post here. Most people who finish LL just want to live their life, so they stay off the internet.

[apalache1]

Thanks for the clarification. But I do feel there is a big difference between how much you can do during the process with tebia vs femur. Ive seen some stories of people doing femur who cant do much for almost half a year, whereas the topic host was walking fine again quickly.

[lessthanavg8300]

This dude dropped off the face of the earth.  Wonder how its going.
