QuoteDang this fitbone thing sounds great, your already at the gym?
To stretch and ride the stationary bicycle, yes, but not lift weights or anything like that. 
QuoteFull weight bearing to I guess this sounds much better than Paley for sure. Plus the food looks nice all the best, i'm the same height as you gl with 8cm that is a lot i'm sure you will meet that goal soon enough.
It does factually bear my weight, e.g., I walk unaided from the bike to the parallel bars three times per day, however I still utilize wheelchair for general safety. I will switch to a walker in 2 weeks, which amounts to 8 weeks in a chair.
Behold the majesty of the human immune system!
- Swelling gone
- Discoloration eliminated
- Wounds shrank down
- Extension straightened

Looks so great. Very little scar. Congrats!
Dude this looks awesome,hoping to see ya when I visit MIC next week...Btw how much do you weigh? got curious when yo said the nail can hold your weight
Hello Bohemia, you sem to be having a decent time at Monegals place. His clinic is really proving to be a very valid option in my eyes.
Could you tell us a bit on how you prepared for the surgery beforehand, your stretches, diet and other exercise?
Thank you and good luck.,

If you would like, drop me a message and I will give you my name, so if you wish to ask for me, you can.
I weighed like 200. And I have definitely shed like 15 pounds.
Another guy underwent this treatment, and actually spoke with a German engineer of Fitbone. He asked the guy how much weight it can truly hold, and the engineer said it can absolutely weight-bear a normal adult, and that they conscientiously downplay its weight-bearing capacity in their literature to avoid legal danger.
If anyone does not believe it can hold the weight of an adult, just look at my photo below.

I did only one thing: I drank a very specific nutritional supplement every morning for a month to give my immune system the power it needs prior to the treatment—and I had a friend mail the bottles to me from the United States so I could remain on the nutrition whilst here. A doctor named Joel Wallach created it; it contains all 90 essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and also possesses a certain technology (chelation) that supports a maximum absorption rate, as opposed to pissing almost all of it out like ordinary muti-vitamins.

I have not completed my experience here; I still have about 2 weeks and then 2 weeks of distraction back home. That being said, I give this facility, the doctor, and the physiotherapist a collective 5 out of 5 stars. I honestly have no complaints, besides the wifi which becomes shaky at night.
I would like to add that the physiotherapist who stretches you every day, Claudio, is also the hospital radiologist who does the x-rays during and after your surgery in the hospital. He quite literally knows your bones and muscles better than you! That gave me a sense of safety.
Taller asked to see me proportions. I shot this this morning. My quadricep muscles (thighs) have thinned to a degree that I did not expect. I always had very wide legs.
Wow! You look really good and well proportioned so far. If I were to pass you walking on the street in Spain, it wouldn't even cross my mind to wonder if you had LL.
I also live in Spain at the moment. Regarding Internet, I buy a data plan from Lycamobile that gives 5GB of 4G internet for 23 euro. I then tether my phone to my laptop to get internet on both devices. For me it works quite well when wifi is not available or working well.

Cool. I simply use the free wifi.
Quotewhat will your final bone length be both for tibia and femur.
The nurse claims I stood at 165.5, however I specifically recall my posture not being upright all the way. I will estimate 166 cm and will probably hit 174 total. To be honest, I do not recall the exacts of each individual bone. Dr. Paley at my consultation in Florida did comment that I possessed a .8 ratio of tibia to femur, and he liked that; said that it suits this treatment.
good news, i would check the old forum about tibia and femur ratio, it would be good to know if you started out with natrually long femurs, i think there have been some cases of femur patients that lengthen too much then need to do tibia as they have knee problems.
just a heads up in case something like that happens.
i started out with extremely long femurs 56:44, so tibia lengthening was natural for me.

You are just all over the place, from the US, to Belgium and now Spain. Anyway, Bohemia seems to have short legs which obviously is great in this context.
Your proportions look very good in that pic Bohemia and this is coming from the most fanatical proportion nazi on the board.
