Did you stay in Turkey at the Remedy Istanbul hotel? And how are you doing now?

I am talking now with the doctor. I still don’t know which doctor to go. I was considering to go to FATIH ARSLANOGLU but now I am doubting between the doctor you have been to and him.

No i didn't stay at the hotel. I'm going well. Choosing to doctor is important. I haven't heard many good things about that doctor. I hope everything turns out the way you want.

[Uchiha]

Hi may I ask why u chose l’on method there is a risk of IM infection which is pretty dangerous, have you ever heard of Latn method does your doctor do this ¿

I've heard of the latn method. I don't know if my doctor will do it, I never asked.
I chose the Lon method because I wanted the bone to fuse properly. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Hi, the items you use for your stretching and ankle, what's their name in Turkish, or do you have links? I want to buy them too, thanks.

Hi, I will pm them all to you.

[Nicose]

Yeah I get what u mean but I’m hesitant between these two methods at first I was determined that I wanted to do Lon now I’m like what if there would be an infection and they have to do debriement like I would loose the actual height that I have right now

Yes you are right, each method has its own difficulties and risks. There is a risk of infection in all. Some methods have more. I will send you pm about it.

Have you removed ex fix yet? How long till u think u can walk unassisted?

[Uchiha]

Have you removed ex fix yet? How long till u think u can walk unassisted?

My fixators have been removed. I think in 1-2 months. This is because I gained weight lol. My doctor told me not to gain weight. Weight makes balance problem. The thinner you are for this surgery, the better.

[Uchiha]

Update

My extension period is over. My fixators were removed. I grew 6.9cm.
When I came out of the surgery, I was in a lot of pain. I thought it would be less painful than the first surgery but it was 3x more painful than the first surgery.
I remember anesthetically telling my doctor that it hurts so much. I was constantly sleepy and waking up. In a few hours most of the pain were gone.
I was discharged the day after the surgery. It was very painful for 5 days, I was using heavy painkillers sometimes 2 sometimes 4 times a day.
After the 5th day, there was no pain at all. I don't use painkillers anymore, I don't have any pain. The swelling and edema in my legs began to disappear suddenly. I'm back to normal.
It feels great to have my fixators gone. Now I can sleep as I want. Everything is going well I'm happy.
I gained weight when I should have lost weight, don't do it like this lol
I'm slowly getting back to normal, now I'm going to get physical therapy once a week.

Any idea why is it so much more painful? Shouldnt it be less? Many people said the fixator removal hurts like hell. But its relatively simple compared to the first one?

It doesn't hurt to remove the fixator, it does to fix the nail on the leg. Yes it hurts like hell lol. At least for me, the pain eased a lot after 1 hour. Yes, it's less risky than the first surgery, but it's more painful.

[dragonslayer]

wow, 6.9cm, do you have ballerina, if not, how do you archive that? thanks

[Uchiha]

No i don't have. My heels are touching the ground. I walked a lot and stretching exercises. The best exercise is your walking.

I did precice, cannot walk much, I'm figuring out how to avoid ballerina now.

Was the whole thing worth it? Any point in time where u regret? Congrats on your new height!

[Uchiha]

Thankfully, I survived this process without complications and it was much less painful than I expected. That's why so i can say it was worth it. Some days I was about to regret it. It's really hard to sleep with fixators. Hits somewhere. The pain in the fixator removal surgery (that was the pain I experienced the most during this process) - Not being able to go out.
Sometimes I was thinking why I didn't do the precice 2 (I wouldn't walk because of my weight) At least all of this was left behind and this process took 3 months.
Thank you very much my friend, I hope you reach your goal without complications.

[Hoi]

Good to hear that everything went well! I see you get 1 time a week physio, shouldn’t that be more?

And my I ask where you heard about Fatih and what exactly? Because I couldn’t find anything negative about him.

Thank you so much! I was taking physical therapy every 2 days. Extension is over and my heels are touching the ground so once a week is enough just for control purposes. I will send you a pm about that doc.

[Uchiha]

I get the same questions from pm many times. Instead of giving the same answers to the same questions, I write here. If you have any other questions you can send pm me.

Why did you grow 6.9 cm? Most people do not exceed 6 cm in the tibia
It's about your bone height. 20% of my bone was 7.2cm. Also, my heels were touching the ground. Your body is telling you what the limit is. In any case, do not leave it at the last limit. 1 mm is a very small size, but not for the body. Especially after 6 cm.

Did you notice that you're get taller? What was the reaction of the people around you?
You don't notice much because you're growing in mm every day. I started to notice after 5 cm. yes people said i'm getting taller.

How are the pain situations? I'm really very curious. What does the pain look like?
It rises and falls like breathing. It's like you hit your foot. It's tolerable, but it's annoying that it's constant. It is usually at night. More like a feeling of discomfort.

What was your experience with your doctor?
I am really pleased. He always replied to my messages. He was making time for me. I think this is the most important thing in this process.

Would you like to have the second surgery?
I would want to be taller but my propotions would look funny so, no.

What do you think was the most important thing during this process?
Be sure to walk a lot. If you're underweight and on a budget, do the internal method. Stretching will help you up to a point, but after 3 cm, things will start to get difficult and this will increase with each mm you lengthed. No tool or physical therapy can put as much pressure on your feet as your own weight. For example, you are 60 kg, when you stand up, your feet carry 60 kg and you walk like this. This will protect you from ballerina syndrome.

Why did you lon? you didn't do precice2?
I didn't want to spend 6 months of my time for surgery, losing weight. I did it because I didn't have time.

Why didn't you make a femur?
My femur was normal, my tibia was short. It would look very funny if I lengthed the femur. Also I couldn't make a lon femur that would be torture. Also I could tilt my feet left and right and lie face down. If I made a lon femur, I wouldn't do these.

Why are you posting diary?
The only reason for this is that there is little and false information about this surgery. You can learn the surgery not from the best doctors but from those who have surgery because doctors didn't have surgery lol. There are also fake diaries that haven't been operated on to gain customers. That's why I want people to know. Everything you read in my diary is objective impartial facts.

How did you take all the risks?
Your risk of dying from anesthesia is very low. You need to stand up and walk against the risk of embolism. You will also use blood thinners. A good doctor will understand the risks such as infection immediately and stop the lengthening. The risk of infection is equal in all methods. If the nail placed in your legs during the surgery is not sterile, you will have an infection. This can happen to any method. The other infection is the surface infection, it can only be in the fixators. If you take care of it every day, you won't have any problems. I was changing every day and had no problems. The other risk is improper fusion of our bone. If there is a nail inside, this will rotate correctly and your bone will fuse straight. If there is a wrong fusion and you have a fixator, a good doctor will fix it instantly.

What advice would you give to those who want to have surgery?
Do lots of research. First, you need to find a good doctor. This is not a simple surgery. Doctor is very important. I would rather a good doctor operate with a bad method than a bad doctor operating with a good method.
Most doctors will see you as money. No doctor talks about patients who have failed complications. Stay away from advertisers. The choice of doctor will be your most important choice. Most doctors won't take care of you after surgery. Because he took the money and did the surgery. You need him now. So go to the doctor who can always be reached and who can fix it even if something goes wrong. Which country and doctor this is something you choose. Don't believe anyone's recommendations, decide by yourself.

[Uchiha]

lol at this autist

Oh you again? I thought you would never dare write again. Well then, before I ignore you, it's time to write a few things down. You troll most diaries and insult people, except for a few. Those trying to undermine my diary can only have 2 purposes.

1- Competitor companies in Turkey. Because I did not choose them and I will not, yes, I do not want to write and deal with every company and doctor one by one. And I know how they cripple people. There is a reason why it took me 6 years to research this surgery and find the right doctor.

2- Or jealousy because I had surgery at this height. I'll be honest, I don't care about your trauma or jealousy. Some people do it to get a job or to get over their height obsession. This is a surgery forum, not a height comparison forum. It doesn't matter what height you are. This forum for those who have surgery or want to get information about the surgery.

I went through this process without any problems and I'm glad I did. Maybe someone will see this article and stop going to other butchers in Turkey.

I looked at your previous posts, you usually spend your grudge against tall people by writing this forum.

the reason youre not getting sympathy is that youre already at a height for which 99% of the rest of the forum would throw their mothers in a woodchipper for

You are so right! That's why I think you wrote this, you and people like you. So i realize that i don't get sympathy, actually, i don't care.

Now I understand why people who had surgery don't post diaries on this forum. This place is already swarming with the company's staff looking for fake diaries and clients. Because not to mess with trolls like you. Jealousy is the only reason for trying to undermine this process instead of thanking those who try to help by taking the time to upload it to the forum and explain it to people. There are many people you don't know who had this surgery and didn't write a diary about it. People taller than my starting height. I honestly don't care about trolls like you. I don't care if you try to undermine my diary and troll, I'll keep updating it.

If you have a problem with me, sort it out yourself because I can't deal with it.

[Mickxe]

I read a lot of diaries and the trolls are always the same! You just have to check their posts and they lose all credibility! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Most people won’t do it because of all the negativity…

Unfortunately, they are taking this forum out of its purpose and people who write real diaries get tired of them like you said. You are right. Btw thank you so much for your kind words.

[Uchiha]

Butcher? This doctor is obviously the best option in Turkey i asked Dr. Donghoon Lee about him.
Yes everyone is comfortable sharing the cost because most diaries are fake and have takeaway prices like restaurant menu.
Why are not fake diaries undermined like this, rather they are written as if they were real? I don't understand...
This doctor has only one diary on this forum and I haven't seen any posts praising the doctor in this diary. In addition, this person really explained this process in a very honest and impartial way. He said he was in pain. The diaries that claim to have made a lon femur and which tells not suffering are not trolled and this diary is undermined? I do not allow. It is obvious that you are an employee of a rival butcher company.
Huh? I guess you couldn't find an excuse to undermine the diary lol. You will be a real man when you are not jealous of others.

Thank you but you are dealing with an ant.

[Sigma]

Fabulous diary. Will you do interviewing cyborg4life? I will go with Dr. Donghoon Lee. If I was going to do it in Turkey, I would definitely go with your doctor.
I'll be honest, it scares me to think I'm going to have surgery. Even i made plans it's makes me nervous. You need confidence even you travel where you didn't know.
And i am planning to have surgery it is more complicated when i think to myself. What was the most difficult process in this surgery? How did you deal with fear?

Thanks. We talked to cyborg4life via email. He said he would not interview patients or doctors for a long time. Now he's mostly making videos like nail wars. He said he would send me an e-mail in the future. He also said that he saw my doctor in Dr. Donghoon Lee's video.

It's normal to be nervous and scared. On the contrary, it would be strange if you were not afraid and nervous. If I had the right to choose 1 from the most difficult process, I would say before the operation. I was very scared as I had never had surgery before. And I even thought of giving up 1 day before my surgery. There is no such thing as fearlessness in this world. Those who can go on despite the feeling of fear are fearless. Dr. Donghoon Lee is a good doctor you will be fine.

[Ascender]

Can you post a pic of your X-ray after nail removal? I want to see the alignment of your bones.

[sphenopetroclival]

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

Update

I missed the update on the forum because I returned to normal life. Now my lengthening process is over and I will update it at long intervals as there is nothing to add.

Everything is fine, I no longer walk with a walker. I walk fast and normally with crutches. I walk a bit like a penguin without any crutches support, I can't keep my balance because I gained weight in the process. I don't feel any tension.

I came out 1.81cm-182cm in height measurement. By my own calculations, I was supposed to be 6.9 cm. My doctor told me it was 6.6 cm. When I gain weight, there is a load on my spine, so I will be 183cm max, not 184.

1-2 years later I will have the nail removed. I'm not as active on this forum as I used to be because I'm back to normal life. I'll update as I get the chance.

Photo with my doctor. I am truly grateful to my doctor. Honestly, I knew the bias in Turkey and so I waited 6 years to find the right doctor. He really always took care of me.

Was it worth it in your opinion?

[Uchiha]

Was it worth it in your opinion?

Yes! it's definitely worth it to me. I would just like to lengt a little longer, but it is risky to lengt it too much in the tibia. I couldn't have a femur because I had short tibias. Apart from these, the process was more painless and easier than I expected, now I feel better.
