Hey everyone,
I’m back with an update on my journey! I’m thrilled to report that I reached a total of 3 inches in height gain by the end of September. The lengthening period went pretty smoothly overall. I did lose quite a bit of weight during the process, but given that I started a bit on the chubby side, it’s actually turned out to be a positive change.
The nights were sometimes challenging with pain attacks, but I found that Xanax was a lifesaver for sleep. I didn’t start using it until I hit the 4 cm mark, when I began to feel sudden muscle pains at night. I combined it with Geralgine-K, Contramal, and Rantudil about an hour before sleep, which really helped ease the discomfort.
In an unexpected twist, I developed gallstones about a month after my surgery and needed them removed. The medical team was fantastic—they helped me in the middle of the night with an ambulance and took great care of me throughout the ordeal. I can be a bit of a handful sometimes, but they handled everything smoothly.
I also wanted to mention that I usually used the Yemek Sepeti app for food most of the time. I lost count of how many shawarma rolls and durum doner I ate during my stay! 😄
I flew back home on September 28th, and I’m now officially 6 feet tall! My friends and family hardly recognized me, especially since I also decided to shave my head. I’ve been using a walker to practice walking and using bicycle to regain muscle strength. My posture is a bit off—I should have done more stretching during recovery—but I’m confident it’ll improve over time.
I’m being careful about not pushing my legs too hard until they fully consolidate, but I’m trying to do some exercises a couple of times a day. I’m pain-free now and not using anything to help me sleep. Just have to be cautious when getting up or sitting down to avoid putting too much pressure on my nails until my bones fully support them.
Oh, and I couldn’t write anything here earlier because I forgot my laptop on the way out to catch my plane—oops!
I understand skepticism, especially when it comes to something as significant as surgery. However, I’m sharing my genuine experience here, and it’s been a positive one for me. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I hope we can support each other in our respective paths. Wishing you all the best!
All in all, I can confidently say this was the best money I’ve ever spent. Thanks for all the support to Lengthening Turkey team.
Cheers!
