I would suggest you do a research.
Most people have 0,5 cm discrepancy.
I had 0,55 discrepancy BEFORE LL and played for years as the striker in the young team of one the best football clubs of Turkey.
Today I measured MY WHOLE TIBIA LENGHT and there was almost no discrepancy. Please stop accusing Dr. Inan because of something that I said.
Also, everything you said to me from the beginning occurred to be wrong, at least for me. You vehemently tell people to avoid Achilles surgery because it is so painful and makes your athletic ability crap, that's why I was so fking afraid of it for months, but it went out perfect for me. Absolutely no pain and my ballerina is completely gone. I'm much much better than my friend who didn't go under ATL.
You also told me not to put weight on my legs in the pm and said "trust me, I know something" but Dr. Inan told me the exact opposite.
I gained like 15 kg in 5 months from the beginning of the surgery.
Today I talked this 5000 calories issue with my father again (he is one of the most reputable doctors of Turkey in his branch) and he also says this is not bullcrap .
I understand the fact that you tell people what you experienced and that's a good thing but by calling a reputable doctor's advise "bullcrap " and accusing him of unprofessionalism you are consulting people wrong given the fact that you are not a doctor and also too young to be a doctor.
There is a big difference between telling your experience and consulting people without being a doctor. This is why this forum is very useful but also can be very dangerous.
Atl is the biggest mistake for any LLer. Period. You haven't even fully consolidated, how do you know your athletic abilities and you believe that I proved wrong about atl?
Yes you don't have bf but do you know why? Because your tendon is elongated and lost most of its elasticity and tension. Thats why atl is a freaky surgery, because it solves a problem by creating a bigger one. It solves bf by making tendon loose and the push off power weak.
Thats why all respectable doctors in the usa (who are the best in the world in LL) don't even think about atl.
If you think that you know better the consequenses of atl when you have a few months that you did it from me that I had spent 5 years before solving it with another surgery (at shortening one) then I leave it for the other people here to choose who is the right one.
The same about 5k calories intake which is a stupidly insane number even for most of the athletes, not for someone who can't even walk because he is still in rehabilitation.
Finally I haven't understood, you have an 0.8cm discrepancy or not?
Yes many people have an about 0.5 cm discrepancy from their birth but after LL they fix it, they don't let it there and furthermore they don't make it even bigger.
I didn't say that 0.8cm is something huge but after LL with a respectable doctor both feet should be completely equal or have a tiny difference (0.1-2 cm max), 0.8 cm means that the doctor haven't monitored the legs as carefully as he should.
Finally, I said to you to not put much weight because monorails are the worst way to lengthen as they have bad weight bearing capability, so as to avoid pin bending which lead to malunions.
People with Ilizarov can and should walk as much as they can because walking helps in consolidation but Ilizarov is very stable and has great weight bearing abilities.
Monorails are a joke and someone should be very careful and not walk before the bone gap is truly strong.
Thats what I told and thats the reality as I did have monorails too and although the comfort was way better than Ilizarov, they were very prone to pin bending and that lead to my minor right leg malunion which I fixed it too before 6 months.
Thats why I toln everyone to be very careful with monorails and avoid them or have them for not more than 5cm lengthenings.
So no, atl is not a safe surgery (on the opposite it is catastrophic) 5k calories is not normal and would lead to obesity and 0.8 cm discrepancy is not normal too after LL.
Anyone who did research about LL and have common sense knows all these but the repeat is never bad.
I really wish you a good and fast rehabilitation but be careful with your diet and not eat that much because after LL your sport abilities will be much worse so losing weight is not easy. Thats my advice, everyone is free to do what he wants.
