Also guys, don't worry too much about hijacking my thread or anything like that. I'm happy to have people talk with each other and make conversation here. Feel free to do so; otherwise it's just me posting on the wall and that gets pretty boring. 
So, based on your post above, you think that just 7CM on the femurs alone will make someone with your proportions look a little odd or stumpy while nked?

Hey Taller!
In my case, while looking downwards at myself, yes.

Hi Taller... Sorry to disappoint, no pics. Not too comfortable with that at this point. Maybe in the future...
awesome... thank you glen for that detailed comparison of femur vs. tibia lengthening. I've been looking for something like that and it's incredibly more helpful coming from someone who has firsthand experience with both.
glad to hear things are going well back home. also, I think it's good you're gaining weight! dr. G was always yelling at me to eat more since I was losing weight haha. remember you have longer legs/muscles now and metal rods in your bones so you should weigh more
Great description Glenn!!! Nice job!!
Yesterday I was with Dr Monegal, he is very funny and is a person close to you.
He showed me pictures and videos of a few patients, we spoke about the people that I knew about the forum like you Glenn and Bohemia.
we have spoken about the pros and contras of the operation in one or two phases. Finally I decided to do in two phases, He showed me a video of a boy the day after he finnished the fisrt leg, and he was walking withot crutches. He can do a normal live.
I am going to do the LL in January and three months after the other leg.
Now, he has to send me the budget.
Do you know how to start a new topic??
Many thanks

Hi Yagen,
Great news, welcome to the club! 
To start a new topic, if you're asking to start a new diary, click here to go into the "Internals" section of the forum: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?board=34.0 and click "New Topic" (it's on the right side).
I know it's a challenging process, so allow me to give you some advice... You're doing femurs, right? I see you are asking about pain on the forum. Don't worry about pain, you will be able to manage that with medication. There is nothing more important than flexibility, pre-op. There are only two things you need to do now:
1. Stretch your quadriceps
2. Stretch your hamstrings
The more you stretch now, the easier your life will be during recovery. Keep improving your flexibility until surgery time and you will thank me later.
For quadriceps, do this (as far back as possible, with your foot touching your butt):
and this one:
For hamstrings, do this (legs straight, no cheating):
When you can do this, you'll be in good shape 
:
Good luck buddy, let me know if you have any questions!

I confirm this x 1,000!
I strongly recommend you stretch quadriceps and hamstrings prior to treatment, so the follow-up stretching becomes familiar and second nature in advance.
