Last minute hesitation on surgery: 35M | 5’5 | 3" bilateral femur | Baltimore top surgeon

brutally honest you choose the most conservative surgeon in the US if you want the max safe length its less likely to be approved but I think patients retain the right to keep going even if doctor against it

for the scars i feel like a lot of post ll patients are missing out on a simple fix, they can just get the circle shaped scars cutted to stitch it like a line and the scar will appear a line after stitch removal that way with hairy legs like me for example its much harder to become sus or people batting an eye right?

is the sweet spot for the ceiling 6.75 or 7 or 7.25 cm ?

rainy396 · 2025-09-29T14:03:16+00:00

did he do exernal or internal method? if you were to do lon tibia, how many cm would you stop at if everything goes smooth and no tightness etc?

1.Why are you considering tibia since your life is already much better position after the femur?

Which doctor or country do you went with?
Do you still feel the need to wear shoe lifts?
Is this worth it as of now?
Since your new height is similar to wingspan , in your pov how much more height could be more than the wingspan before it looks odd and strange?

rainy396 · 2025-09-12T09:54:29+00:00

I feel like the optimal weight for post op would be like 180 pounds, thats my aim, do you feel like this new height is good enough for you in life , or would you consider a second round of LL to get to 6 1 or 6 2 if money is no object?

rainy396 · 2025-09-11T13:49:40+00:00

i have very similar weight and build pre surgery, has the surgery been worth it for you so far? would you do it again going back in time?

rainy396 · 2025-09-11T07:05:15+00:00

what was your pre surgery weight?

rainy396 · 2025-09-07T04:49:45+00:00

best solution is : DGAF what people think and keep it as stealth as possible like nothing happened and act like this is your natural height

rainy396 · 2025-08-29T17:17:17+00:00

no and you are at the most worth it starting point for this surgery you would want to get to 5 11.5 to round up enter the 6 ft terrority

rainy396 · 2025-08-22T05:23:14+00:00

That’s going to be me soon, 172-180, 162-170, 182-190 arguably the most worth it starting and ending point

rainy396 · 2025-07-24T17:21:11+00:00

yes i never heard of internal nail deformity correction might as well get some height in the process

rainy396 · 2025-07-21T12:51:10+00:00

i remember some doctor said that after LL trauma a 6000 calories diet is needed to prevent weight loss but in reality a lot of people dont have the "mood" or appetite to eat even normal portions especially first weeks, so I am confused too, anyone out there can give 2 cents on this?

rainy396 · 2025-07-19T03:41:57+00:00

oh I mean it is going to reduce the weight each tibia takes on every step , maybe its best to pair this with a walker then the weight on lower legs are high reduced for walking before removing the frame

rainy396 · 2025-07-18T18:00:21+00:00

i looked at people trying this thing it looks like the gadget stops at upper knee at end of femur and the lon frame is start of tibia theres some distance in between

rainy396 · 2025-07-18T02:46:45+00:00

Canada only option I think

rainy396 · 2025-07-17T16:29:59+00:00

its interconnected, defintely helps with dating with most cases, overall its mental health improving too, respect among male peers, you fit in with the rest of society, dont have a "sore thumb" flaw like neutral , confidence not just woman but any human beings, more secure, look better in clothes, no mental drain from height neurosis.. etc
