Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you my insanely journey, at least I see it that way. So I barely stand at 5'8 barefoot, and in the US the average height is 5'10 based on a recent research. I noticed the different treatment among people when it comes to height. Bro those who are over 5'10 are with no doubt well treated everywhere they go (stores, certain events, street) it feels like they're gods. Take me seriously tall people are more valuable in this modern life. Better jobs, income. Oh and let us not mention how tall people do better on dating since girls feel more secure besides such a savage.
Therefore, I found limb lengthening was a pass way to success in life. Thanks to this forum I got to learn a lot about such a complicated surgery.
I'll go straight forward to the first day of surgery. After the counselling and all of that, went to the surgery room.. only remember the first couple mins after I passed out. Woke up probably in the next 4 hours I guess? First I woke up after the surgery I opened my eyes and literally couldnot see any thing everything was so fuzzy and unclear so I was yelling I can not see and woke up in the next hour compeltyl fine and they were telling me the story and laughed about it lol
so the first week felt defintly completly strange since both legs are broken I dont know it is just something that you dont get to experience everyday?
Nurses doctors everyone were so nice. I mean it. Infinitive assistance just for the fact that help is an essential need in life. I just found people so cooperative with me.
Now I am in the middle of the lengthening period and as I mentioned I have gotten 3 cm and planing on getting 6 cm overall.
I would love to answer your questions, peace out

Moved from discussions to Patient's Experiences.
I heard about someone doing P2 CLL at Parihar a month or 2 ago, I'm guessing it was you. Good luck. Please do post X-rays as proof because last time a patient(Jaymorgan) said he did LL with Parihar, it was fake.
How much do you plan on lengthening?
-
Does he allow people of 5 9" to be operated?

He doesn't have a max height limit but he has turned down prospective patients for other reasons.
-
Very interested in Dr. Parihar for precice 2. He seems like a reasonable doctor for a reasonable price. It's my understanding its around 50ishk for everything including accommodation.
So since its precice 2 can you weight bear? How is your walking with crutches?
-
Good to see another parihar patient. So you're from the US and decided to go to India for this surgery? How is it staying in India? and what was the total cost of the surgery plus accommodation?
-
Bro, thanks for the useful diary. I am also from US (though an Indian citizen - working in US) and am considering parihar, guichet and birkholtz (if I go for internal) or Xia/Parihar/Brinov (if I go for exteernal tibias). Can you plz advise the process you used to choose doctor and how you zeroed in on Parihar? thanks.

Someone was turned down from the forum, but I dont know why, what kind of clues he has to do It.
-
Good opener and definitely true in what you are saying. Best of luck brother

Wow we could have been surgery mates. I was 90% leaning towards getting LL with Parihar but I thought that the logistics of doing this in India would be really complicated. I wanted to keep this 100% secret, but my entire extended family lives within 15 minutes of Parihar's hospital. It would have been impossible not to get "caught".
Consequently I am doing it in West Palm Beach with Paley next Tuesday.
Good luck to you! Please keep the diary updated!
-
Let me point out couple of things to make things clear
1. Why I chose Dr. Parihar?
Obviously because his good reputation as well as the reasonable cost of surgery which is $50k including accommodation, comparing to other doctors I found Dr Parihar an ideal choice to do this surgery..
2. How am I doing so far?
I am doing good thanks god, just a little pain comes and goes. I found some difficulties sleeping but I got to manage that.
Although the nails are capable to bear the weight the doctor did not allow me to do so, just for extra safety till lengthening is done. I will be using crutches when I get lengthening stage done, so far I am using the walker.
3. How is it like in India?
A brief answer to that is you got to be a spicy-food lover to easily adapt the life in India.
..
I hope I answered some of your questions folks.. and dear Pengiunn I tried to upload the x-ray pictures but I don't know why it is not working on this forum, I might see how to do it later.
Best of luck to yall

Hi,good to see that at 3 cm you're doing fine.
Uploading pictures is quite easy,if the forum function for some reason doesn't work for you,use some Android apps,they work pretty well.
Are you doing femurs with Precice 2 system ?

Parihar won't let you use crutches even after post-lengthening unless there's some callus in your bone. Hopefully your callus isn't annoyingly slow like mine was. Take my advice:
1) Don't be lazy with standing, that'll be your exercise post-lengthening for callus followed by slow aided walking. I was a little lazy.
2) Around 2 inches of lengthening or even before that, start doing prone lying. I got very mild duck ass around 6.5cms lengthening and it's still there, I'll have to do some stretches and exercises to shake it off which I haven't gotten around to. It's so mild no one notices at all, but it's taken away almost a cm of my height that I have to get back. Avoid this hassle by just lying on your stomach for an hour every day.
For x-rays, upload to imgur and post the link here. Good luck bud.
-
What hospital did you get them done at?
You have way more callus than I did then. I'm jelly. ;D
-
Thanks to god in fact let me ask you I read your diary you mentioned you had a knee bending.. was there any sign of discomfort in the knee before its been addressed? If so, would you explain what it felt like, and how someone possibly can avoid it?
-
And guys I feel my muscles are really tightened since I am lengthening .25mm 4 times a day. How can I stretch it out?
-
Hey i had a consultation with dr. Parihar 10 days ago and am planning to do the operation next week or so, Can we talk over an email maybe?? It would be of gr8 help

Dude, can you plz advise on the total aproximate cost of internals with Parihar (including food, accomodation etc. I mean all starting from surgery to the day you can walk), also can you plz advise on the approx timeline of lengthening, consolidation, walking etc? I would be doing the surgery in next 1 year, possibly earlier and Parihar is a target doctor for me.
Also, does parihar have this policy where one of your parents must be informed of your LL? I domnt want to let people know about this. thanks a lot

How long you have to be on wheelchair?
Is it possible for someone living and working in Mumbai to go to work after a month of surgery? If the work requires mostly sitting around and walking for like 20 minutes within the office?

Depends on your callus formation.

Lol no. You're severely underestimating LL. For the first few months after distraction(which itself takes 2.5 months), you'll either be pushed around in a wheelchair or use a walker like a 90 year old. If you can't go a year without working, LL is not for you. Around 6 months if everything goes picture perfect. Won't answer any more questions on someone else's diary. (That's for Precice based on my experience. Idk about weight bearing nails)

I hope you can give us an update after Penguinn answers you. Dr. Parithar is a very promising doctor with Precice 2. I am strongly considering him myself.
there just isnt a lot of documented experiences on him :(
-
Hope everything's ok brother

Useful dude pls give an update about your progress as I am considering precice 2 with Parihar next year.
