Yes, Paley told me he had a couple patients hit 7cm with no issues (I think it was 3-4 when i asked) & I remember him saying he had 1 person last year who hit 8cm successfully

So that is my goal & I am sticking to it!

Hey Mr.Myevolution.
3 Questions-
1. When are you going to remove the Femurs nails? During the Tibia surgery? Before? After?
2. How is your gait now? If it's 100% fine, since when it is fine? I am stressed about permanently walking weird. Do you think you can walk 100% fine already at month 6/7? how about 11 months?
3. Can you do intensive sports like spinning classes or lifting heavy weights? if you can't, would you ever be possible to do it again? if the answer to the last question is yes, then when?

Thank you so much and I wish you good luck.

Dear Sir

May I ask that do you think doing Paley's option 5 (4+4 in femur and tibia, then rebreak after your recovery for another 4+4) is actually the most possible way to grow 16cm? From what I have heard from you, you said Paley would stop lengthening a limb if that person's safe limit has reached.
However, if I just do 4cm in each segment,which I believe is within the safe limit. After my recovery, is doing another 4cm still within safe limit? I am not a medical doctor, yet from my understanding, once your body recovers and soft tissues are healed, it should be feasible to do another "4+4", am I correct?
I can tolerate a lot of pain, yet I don't know whether my body will allow me to lengthen such amount in just one surgery ( and I don't want my Achilles tendon to be hurt permanently), so I want to ask whether option 5 would be the best possible choice to achieve what I want.
Please tell me anything about option 5  if you know about it. Thanks!

On the other hand, good job man, doing LL is not what a lot of people have courage to do.

How much of your athletic ability do you recover after one year of doing femurs?

How do you want to avoid equinus doing 8cm in tibia?

From my experience and talking to other pations & paley, option 5 (4+4) is mostly for people who can only afford to go through this surgery once. I have never yet met someone who has re broken again & gotten 16cm. It prob happens but the pain is way too much usually that ppl never come back
I took my own approach
8cm femurs, alone
Wait a year
Come back and aim for 8cm in tibias
I am certain that i will b able to at least hit 7cm without problems but i’ll keep you guys updated

I wouldnt recommend #5 unless u know 100000% u are gonna do it twice, but even then i feel like having one body part healed is better so only one is suffering at a time. It’s way too much pain to do 2 at once people usually quit

Thanks for your replying, I hope that you could get the amount of height you want to have.
I would like to ask that do you mean if I could actually tolerate the pain, then option 5 is a feasible option?
Because I don't want my achilles tendon to be permanently weakened due to too much lengthening of tibia at once.
So I think I will only consider option five.
According to some medical doctors, they said I have extremely high physical pain tolerance, so I think option 5 is ok for me.

On the other hand, I would like to ask that whether lengthening JUST 4cm at a segment without "your body's limit" problem is ALMOST always possible? For some reason I really want to have six inches more SAFELY, so I would not consider other options.


Thanks for your answering in advance. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.

Alright quick update
In the process now of scheduling TIBS surgery! This is gonna be the first, Tibia only Stryde diary I eleve. Does anyone know any good Tibs diary I can ready? Can’t find none

So with walking, honestly my gait still isnt perfect eventho i’m stretching everyday but it’s not like questionable. Some friends have asked why i walk like that & i’ve been getting by by saying that I fractured my leg when I got back home by slipping on Ice, everyone believes it. No1 seems to be connecting the dots.

As far as the girl, ya dont worry especially for girls no1 gonna notice anything. Girls always be changing their height w heels

As far as lengthening to 8cm it’s really case by case. Paley is trained to stop you at your limit depending how your body reacts. I’ve met people who have hit 6.5cm in Tibs (didnt make a diary)  & so I kow it’s doable it sorta just depends on how luckt I get & how much I stretch. Hope to god that I get at least 7cm ideally 8
Then i’ll be considered 5’11 & realistically probably 6ft cause everyone who’s 5’9 in my city be saying they 5’11 and 6ft😂
With shoes i’ll easily be 6’1

My surgery gonna b booked for sep24th. I didnt orginally wanna do 2 surgeries but honestly my experience had been so amazing & I have a friend doing it with me this is gonna be almost fun

DO NOT do LL alone, try to find someone on the forum to do it with. LL alone is depression. LL with fruebds is funner cause u have someone to hangout with 24/7, share ur pains with etc. Especially in West Palm beach beautiful weather like it’s gonna be easier

Anyway i’ll write back when i’m officially booked!!
If ur on the fence PLEASE do this!! There is NO thing comparable to litterally giving yourself a 5-6 inch height boost that will stay with you for the rest of your life. I am no longer “that short guy” that girls dont want. Now i am normal range & after TIBS i will no longer need to ovrcompensate for my height. I can finally be viewed, as a masculine figure who looks like a solid man.

Ttyl

Hii, i remember reading the beginnings of your diary months ago when you started it, Anyway:
1) so you did Femurs stryde first and then waited a year and did tibia or both at same time?
2) how much did u reach in femurs?
3) since you seem like you did both already, which one was easier femur or tibia?
4) whats that TIBS surgery you mentioned?
5) did you do IT BAND release ?
6) MEDICATION: did u take alot of antibitoics and heavy medicines that destroy the body or it was just the first 2 weeks and thats it?

TIBIA SURGERY IS TOMORROW MORNING, ROUND TWO BEGINS HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO

My goal is 8cm or at least 7, robbins said he's never met anyone who's passed 5cm
but he's also said that I'm the first case of someone doing Stryde Tibia, without doing quadaralteral so i think that'll have a major difference

pretty much fully healed at this point, i walk fine, i can jump, my running is a little awkward but I can run, I played a game of tag with my non cripple friends last week and actually caught 2 people (the place was very enclosed but still)
they measured me at 170cm today

WISH ME LUCK GUYS THE ROAD TO 8CM BEGINS

It is FINALLY TIME GUYS
i’m writing this from my hospital bed, just did the Tibia surgery last night. Again, i’m going to keep this forum as simple, & easy to follow as possible while comparing it to femurs

Woke up at around noon yesterday
Pain:
- femurs was def less painful, i woke up and my pain was around a 6, but with the meds its back down to a 2. HOWEVER, the pain in my opinion is in a more tolerable location!! There is NO pain on my ass or thighs because femurs are already done!! This is amazing to me, i can deal with someshin pains and some ankle tightness anyday over a massive femur muscle and glutes. Last year femurs got so bad i couldnt even sit on my butt cause of the pain

I am motivated and confident I will hit at least 7cm for tibia since I am only doing tivias and my femurs feel 100% healed

LETS GO BABY
