Had my operation in the middle of Jan at the BB institute. Now on 3.5cm hoping to get to 4cm at the end of Feb and hoping to get to 10cm. The Betz bone is full weight bearing so ok getting around on crutches.

Started on 20 clicks but now on 12. Clicking is kind of strange in the beginning but you get used to it.

Tension is high but daily stretching and physio helps.

Good support from the BB team, the get back to me either same day or after. Weekly zoom calls to check on gait and progress etc. Don't personally recognise the experiences in another post, but hey we all have different journeys.

Good support on meds, pain is bearable but waking up a couple of times at night.

Happy to share experiences with anyone going through this as well or contemplating it.

What was your orignal height, proportions, weight etc.

What prep did you do?
