How much did you lengthen? How much time did it take?

Went through 3 airports while pushing luggage with no help including waiting in lines; though, the crutches typically get you moved to wheelchair line. Going to the gym regularly now.  I am able to walk faster and more confidently without crutches including stairs.  Can treadmill walk with and without the rails for 30 minutes at the gym at a speed of 4.0.  I take short walks outside but here (I'm in the Phillipines now) there's lots of people during the day and I'm scared of someone knocking into me so I keep the crutches.  Have been keeping up with stretches here but have to find a fisio here locally. Working on R sided Tredelenburg because of R sided gluteus weakness. Consolidation is excellent and nail and screws have not moved or bent etc since surgery.  Pain is 0 in the legs most of the time with occasional soreness/tightness when waking up.  Go to Dr. G guys.

As measured by xray-9.6cm on the L

3 week update with walking without crutches.  Gait significantly better and tredelenburg almost gone.  The effort required to walk is lessened and walking further distances is less intimidating. Steps are easier with no rails. Flexibility continues to improve daily.  Continuing with intense therapy in Manila.  Físio is excellent and much more personalized than Greece. Pelvis is now 95% even and back in place.  Lower back pain gone.  Started tapering off anticoagulants this week. Only pills now are occasional tramadol for upper back pain and I continue daily supplements of vitamin d/calcium/mag.  Also started protein shakes given I’m back in the gym.

I thought 9+cm would be a lot but you look good and well proportioned.  Congrats on the recovery.

Hey guys, had the IT band release and can touch knees together with knees flexed.  Made me realize when I met the doc that I had a significant problem with hamstring tightness and knee extension.  It is very painful to extend the knees to 0 degrees when legs are close together.  I have been working on it in physio for the past two weeks and have seen big gains; though, they are costly in terms of excruciating pain. The team with Dr. G is caring and organized well.  Fisio team is superb.  Hoping to get walking really well with crutches soon.  I have an issue with my pelvis as well where one side is higher than another that I think can we worked out in fisio. When I met Dr. G, I was told to stop clicking, so I am satisfied with 9.8cm gain on femurs to put myself at 179.5.  I can stand straight now with legs much closer together and can feel the height, it's awesome. 

Another phenomenal diary.

DO you think having Dr G give you a full/proper ITB release before hand would have made a difference to your journey?

Stretching and suffering wide legs/duck ass VS getting a proper ITB release , almost instant results.

Hey guys, I have my removal scheduled in the next couple of months.  Walking without issues, no pain etc.  I stand at 179.3. The removal has to be with Becker since Giotikas said they use proprietary screws like Apple lol.  Becker confirmed excellent consolidation on my most recent X-rays. Forgot some items in my pocket during the X-ray  ;D

I am happy to field questions but will not be sharing anything but X-rays and trip pictures due to the potential trolling on this forum.

Man you made it, CONGRATS!
Just want to let you know that your diary has been unfluental on my decision, I probably will go to Dr. G
May I ask how was s€x with your GF during the time of lengthening? I heard you can only have s€x in specific positions. May you can share some experience reports. I personally have a lot of sxx thus why this question is important to me.
And which Steroids you used for injections?
