[Acemace86]

Who is doing your procedure?

[Rossi46]

Who is doing your procedure?

Hi Acemace86, how are you?

I will do in turkey with AFA.

[Michael96]

Best of luck with your procedure! I'm 175 looking to gain only 3-5cm. I'm also thinking about Turkey mainly due to financial reasons but I've seen some posts here about Turkish doctors not being reliable and/or honest with their patients. After watching some videos on livelifetaller yt channel they seem pretty ok. I might follow you there in about a year if things go as planned.

Hi Acemace86, how are you?

Give up immediately. God, there are still people who go to places like livelifetaller or AFA

[Victims of the AFA]

If you are going to be in Turkey, do not choose AFA.

[Rossi46]

Morning all!!

Well I getting more nervous reading this… I m waiting to do this for about 5 years…

You guys have any proof about this ? Can you chat me ?

All the surgery’s have risk “s depends of the patient and hospital and surgeon

[Rossi46]

I have actually made my decision already, good or not I have done.


But which one you guys suggest? And why ?

Did those 5 years of research involve browsing this forum in any way?

[Rossi46]

Included here and everywhere else, we can not just stay in one place to get one option.

I google it, youtube it, research about broken bones and surgery’s and after that lengthening.

[Beemer m3]

could be a fake account . they just created and post to tell u not to do it. i was wondering if afa was good. i would just be worried about infection. which method did u decide to do?

[Rossi46]

Hi Beemer.
Hope you well.

No I m definitely not a fake account nothing like this. But I understand and now I can see why and how we thinking about fake accounts is a lot money involved, no one want to show the faces and etc…

I choose LON femur.
They said my tibia is a great size so I don’t going to get disproportional if does femur.
I need to come back work asap so I choose Lon so I can use crutches when I come back to work and it’s fine.

Now I m just wondering about surgery if I ll do anesthesia and which one and about first walks etc. try to get busy because is a lot things involved.

[Acemace86]

If you have enough money do precice femur.

[tallmen]

Don't please. Do percice 2.2 with a decent surgeon in EU or the US.

[Body Builder]

You don't have a bad height to risk so much to cripple yourself in these butchers.
Worst decision you could do.

[Rossi46]

Hi Beemer, hope you well!!

I have done the surgery and he gave me general anesthesia.

I wrote somethings about that I will post soon..you you guys have any questions let me know

[Rossi46]

Guys I m just writing and add everything I wrote , but if you have any questions let me know… I done the surgery everything was smooth.
First walks and some Pains I will make my  writings became meaningful to read because I then wrote down what I was feeling, happening and thinking

[Bella86]

Ah! you're living the dream! I'm curious as to, with LON, the length of time needed to be in a wheelchair before transitting to using crutches to move around. I have a desk bound job which is great but i would rather be at home while im in a wheelchair. I think I can manage doing work in the office with crutches. I can only be away for a month, so, bummer.

LON is weight bearing, you just gotta get used to the nerve and muscle pain and stiffness.
I've read that most transition to crutches two months after removing the device, but I guess it depends on your healing level.

Hmmm, 2 mths is okay..🤔.

[Beemer m3]

hows your pain? any pain on the skin? maybe too early.

[Rossi46]

Hi Beemer how are you???

I had some pain when bend my legs and to try to bend knee etc, also to seat is horrible , to go the toilet if a whole history . But I m trying to manage the pain, they gave me some painkiller into the hospital.

[Rossi46]

So since I arrive here.

They take me from the airport , I am very careful with everything and suspicious, fortunately or unfortunately. so upon arrival at the airport I sent my location to a safe person, sent the hotel address, and looked at all the cameras (maybe I'm watching a lot of Netflix 😂😂)

I choose one cheapest hotel just to check about the city people and everything, I stay there for 2 days to know around and etc, to feel better in the place.

I bought a sim card from the country to have access into the internet , so if something happen I have my internet.

Food is cheap for me ( I pay in pounds £) a Coffe is 1 TK something like 0.026p£

On the Day after the person quiche pick up me from the hotel meet me on my hotel and bring me to their hotel, they show me the staff the team some patients and etc. explain about alll so I time toke the contract read the contract negotiations done and they had book my surgery already.


Day after I done my x rays. They check and said it’s great to do lon on femur.
Check my wingspan it’s also good 1,79cm.


Spoke with the doctor , clarify some more things and he explain me again about the surgery.


Day of the surgery

He told me how many hours the surgery will take so I put the alarme 2 hours after the surgery done to call people I m fine .( I had general anesthesia so you can maybe forget about something )

Day before the surgery I couldn’t sleep.

The day before surgery you ask yourself why are you doing this?
And return all your thoughts so you don't do it
In the last minute the last breath of what you are doing
It gives you strength


I wake up, really emotional.


On the way to the hospital thoughts come back.

Life is very crazy, short crazy and dangerous.…


We do everything to feel good about ourselves. Women get botox, nose jobs, butt and breast augmentations, why can't we normalize this?😁

This is unfortunately the most important day of my life. Unfortunately, because I didn't want this to be her most important day, but when you wake up and sleep thinking about something that dominates you, unfortunately you have to find a way, and I'm tired of finding temporary solutions.


I made a mistake in saying where I was going to have the surgery, because some comments made me feel really bad about…. Well organized and clean hospital, it seems very technological at the reception a very friendly woman attended to us and took my details
I drew blood
I signed documents
I took an x-ray again
Everyone was very supportive and friendly. They took me to another stretcher and gave me general anesthesia.
I remember the girl saying “bye bye / bye bye “ and it’s funny but I remember to dream, now I forget what but is look I was stll looking or hearing. Crazy.

They woke me up, that was the worst part so far. They wanted to wake me up at any cost, they moved me a lot, I was in pain, they didn't stop talking, everything was very agitated and I couldn't speak, I don't know if this is the procedure...

I woke up little by little, in a lot of pain. First thing I did was move my toes and feel them. It gave me relief…. My mouth had some blisters, and my leg hurt a lot 07/10. In the first few hours, they took me off that stretcher and put me on another one. It was quite complicated because they pulled me, I couldn't support my leg and that was a bit of force, I think it was unnecessary. .. as I couldn't speak I just mumbled.

In the first 2 hours after surgery, I had taken my cell phone beforehand and set an alarm to call some people and let them know that I was fine.

Call my son and said - daddy is alive and will soon be home with you my love.

I said the same thing to my wife and a close friend.

I couldn't speak so well, I was drowsy.

I didn't feel nauseous like I had read some testimonials here.

After a few hours they brought me food, I ate everything I was starving (11 hours without eating)



.. I will continue another day

[Rossi46]

Now some little important advices.


1.Do a lot of stretching before ( 2 months ) the surgery
2. Try to get fit and Don't be too heavy, this will sometimes make it difficult for you to move around, you will use your biceps, triceps and shoulders a lot, focus on training them well to be able to carry yourself with the support of your upper limbs.
3. Meet company , surgery and city before, know around , check about the hospital and where to get internet.

This is gold .

Classic fake diary. Welcome to the forum, AFA employee. I'm surprised AFA still using this forum after the Asian patients  mutilated. I thought you had leave from this forum like Livelifetaller... Continue your fake diary. Also, say Hi to the AFA team for me Instead of finding new customers and advertising on this forum, cure the Asians you maimed 

[Victims of the AFA]

你是绝对正确的。是一家恶心的公司，我的腿疼得要命。

[Rossi46]

Ok ok so just pass it if you think about this and let me post it to help people about the surgery,
Also forget about companies or doctor .
Simple as that.😃

[Beemer m3]

hey can u give an update on whats happening. any pain or tightness on the muscle?

[Rossi46]

Hi Beemer m3.

Yes, I can control the pain with an ice pack and medicine. It’s just painful after lengthening I feel the muscle weak, but only in the left leg.

I'm trying to stretch a lot every day and my 2 biggest problems now are walking, when I put weight on my left leg it clicks and after that click it hurts a lot so I lose the base to walk and I want to go back to sitting but it hurts I have to sit down a lot because I don't have the strength in my left leg.

I have a very swollen leg and I can't bend them, they both hurt a lot and during the physiotherapy session I feel a lot of pain because I really can't bend them.
