Hi, Did you leave your job to get this procedure done? If not, did you get a doctor letter? And did you face any doubts from colleagues about appearing taller and limping a little?
im not gonna answer the first two questions as it can compromise my anonymity.
actually all of them can compromise...
I am ok now, i dont limp anymore. i walk 100% normal.
Although if i have a long long day and walk like 5km+, my legs gets really tired and i start swaying. but this gets better and better. before it was like after 2.5 km.
reaction from people have been mostly about my weightloss. I am ectomorph so i was lean before surgery, after i became close to underweight BMI. But I have recovered from that, mostly.
But people who were my height pre-LL have been looking awkwardly at me. I sometimes slouch when im with these so they leave me alone
Stryde is a great nail, the best we got right now.
It lets you walk few days after surgery and you can return to work if you have office job pretty much 3-4 weeks later. Your gait my be abit weird but one can minimize it with baggy sweatpants. If one has good LL PT from day 1 i think your gait will be normal by 4 weeks time. I didnt, i went home to lengthen. It was about in middle of my proceess i sought out a true LL PT and from there on I had massive improvement.
