3inches tibia LON, RECOVERY
« Reply #341 on: November 20, 2016, 09:36:36 AM »

Recap:
Surgery performed September 1st
Lengthened tibias by 7.5cm
Frames removed November 3rd
Left India to head home November 8th

Overall experience:
Overall I was satisfied with my experience in India under Sarin's care. Professional,clean and genuine I believe all my needs were met with good lengthening phase results. If I had to complain about anything it would be the guest house service could have been better.

I've had the frames removed for 17 days now I've been home for 12 of those days. Complications I had when the lengthening was over:knee bending, ballerina, knee pain

From the very first day I landed back home I've been practicing standing with a walker. Since then my pain has significantly gone done I've also gotten a lot of mobility back in my ankles. My knee bending is almost all gone and to a delightful surprise my ballerina is now less then half an inch when I stand up straight and i haven't even started walking yet.

I will post proportion photos once I can actually stand in a mirror and take a pic. Before I forget I'm very impressed with my scars they're healing very well in a couple months time you won't even be able to tell

I've been very fortunate indeed while going through this so far other then pain.

I've taken a few steps with my walker today I feel like an old man when I walk but hell im ahead of schedule. I've also started training my abs and upper body at home, I'm tired of being lazy. One day I'll do 10-30 minutes of ab exercises I usually get 5 exercises done with 3 sets each. The next day I'll do every single push up imaginable to man. Regular, triangle push up, tricep push up, clapping push up etc I'll also do tricep dips. All of this for 3 sets each

How flexible / fit were you before LL? Were you athletic? Did you train / exercise to prepare for your surgery?

I was fairly flexible nothing too impressive but I could touch my toes and stuff like that.
Before LL I had been training 5 days a week at the gym for the past 3 years. I'd been dieting for about 2 years I would meal prep my lunches. Before LL I was at 8% 160lb 168cm in terms of being physically prepared for this I couldn't have been more ready. The only thing I changed when I found out I wanted to do this surgery and implement stretching exercises more frequently post workout:

Update:
I'm walking with a walker around my house now, pain has gone down a lot when putting pressure on my legs. Knee bending is almost all gone same with ballerina. Ankle mobility is coming back. My legs strength is also coming back but I do still have to take it easy.

Consolidation day 31:

Yesterday I stood up with my crutches but didn't feel balanced enough to walk, today I stood up and started step by step. I ended up walking around my kitchen for 4-5 hours.
I still have a little bit of knee pain the more I walk the better it gets, I still have a little minor ballerina but not when I'm standing when I walk.

My knee bending is gone, no xlegs thankfully. I don't get pains in my bone anymore I'm going to go for an X-ray in a couple weeks to see how it's healing. My ankles ROM is coming back obviously still needs work but have made very good progress.

I will  post some pictures tonight

Sorry i haven't been consistent with the forum since I've been home life has gotten exponentially better and I forget all the time.

Anyways quick update: started walking unassisted Monday as well as started hitting the gym again on Monday. Went for X-rays and my callus touches (thank god). They also determined that my foot/ankle/tibia were all aligned.

Hey Morisette, I see that you are online. Seeing that its been almost 2 years since your LL (I'm assuming you had 1 LL surgery), do you mind telling us how other parts of your life have been impacted by your new height?

I started at the same height as you and did 6.5 cm femurs. I always find it interesting how it impacts their life out long term (not in terms of healthy, but other aspects).

I always feel relieved when people stop posting, because to me it means they moved forward in life and don't need the forums for support.  :)

Hey guys it’s been a long time since I’ve logged on, after I recovered I kind of just moved in with life but I always wanted to comeback and checkin.

Life has been good, I did get those 3inches I was after (7.5cm) recovery took sometime but after 4-5 months I was walking  unassisted granted I was very healthy going into this and went right back to the gym as soon as I could get around on crutches. 2 years after surgery I was pretty much 100% a little slower running but if I trained for it I could recover that fully as well. No pain in my legs even all these years later minimal scaring.

No regrets I’d do it all over again, I’ll stick around for a little bit if someone has questions! I haven’t kept in contact with Dr. Amar Sarin so I really can’t speak to his methods today/prices but my experience back in 2016 was positive with 0 complications.
