Hey, I've heard that a couple of lengtheners experienced that the amount they lengthened doesn't translate eqally to the amount they became taller. For example, they lengthened 7 cms but only grew 5 cms in height. Did you experience the same? Best regards.
Yeah, I was measured as 2cm shorter than I should be because when it was done, my knee bending and hip took away my height- also it was done with a book against a wall in an unreliable fashion. I was accurately measured before the surgery in multiple clinics so I've no doubts what height I am.

But these issues were only temporary, so when you fully recover, the amount you lengthened should be equal to the amount you will gain, or not?

Yeah, of course.

Hey Penguinn,
Obviously things are quite different between your case and mine (internal-external), but when I had the wires removed from around my knee I 'gained' about 2 cm afterwards.
-Glad to hear things are going smooth for you.

and we'll have to reset it first.
How long have you been stuck at 7.3 and why?

I lengthened 2mm more. The machine reached its set limit and had to be adjusted to allow more lengthening.

Yes, but how many days gap was there?
And so, now are you officially in the consolidation phase?

I guess a little over 10 days. I didn't lengthen for 8 days so I could fix my knee, then I lengthened for a day and the machine had an error so it took more time.
Yes, officially no more lengthening. 
Callus has improved a bit but I've been lazy with standing and walking.
I have a doubt, after surgery can you wash you teeth immediately?? I dont know very much about the post-operation process.
