8,3cm!
I did my last clicks yesterday and today is my first day post lengthening and 107 Days Post Surgery!!
Its hard to believe that the lengthening is over. I was over years talking about this surgery and dreaming of being taller. Now is the day and it is some how unreal. It is a emotional moment for me. I am now a little bit over 175cm! For me this is so much!
I hated to be 167 and i hated to wear shoe inlays and always choosing shoes because of the height of the bottom.I hated to be always the smallest men in the room , i hated to look always up to other people! This hate gives me the energy to survive so many nerve attacks and go further, to suffer all the Lengthening phase. And it will give me the power i need for the recovery...
It was a really hard and long journey until now. Now i am facing my recovery, i shedult already all my PT sessions for the next weeks but first i want to rest a few days and just stretch by myself and calm down.
I still can't fully stretch my right leg its bended so much when i lie in bed. Last night was the first night where i couldn't sleep.I think my Body reached his limits and is telling me now to stop so i listen.I wanted to go until 9cm but the 7mm wouldn't make any difference compared to the risks. My Proportions looks really good and my femurs looks natural.
I had a long lengthening phase because of many rest days and reduced clicking after 6cm to 15 clicks per day. My biggest issue was the nerve pain what i had many times.The hardest time was definitely the first weeks. What helped me was the time when i started to split the clicking as is said in a post before. After pain to be disabled was really hard, i tried to work but this was not possible. To have constant pain was also hard but manageable. You need to face the pain and know when it starts --> after clicking.
Sometimes i start to count the days and hours but i noticed quickly that this doesn't makes sense and can make you crazy. You must think about other thinks and try not to be too much in the LL tunnel. I know this is easy to say. Go outside to drink a coffee , see other people or play playstation games. And just people who did LL should give any advises or recommendations. Because if you didn't had LL you have no idea!!! Before LL i read so much in this forum in the internet and i thought i know what is coming. I had no idea!!My before LL had no idea:)
I am very thankful that sleeping was almost never a problem for me.
The most people say that you forget all the pain and suffer. I must say i want to forget it 
My minimum goal was 8cm and i am really happy with the result. I am looking forward to notice my real height when i am recovered. Now when i stay i can't feel much difference because of my bended legs and Duckass. I hope that this gets better day by day. Next week i will take my X Rays. I am a bit nervous and hope that the bone healing has improved.

What will you do about the duck ass and what are the ways you're going to try to combat it?

Awesome, wish you best recovery. Goddamn I have similar feelings, same starting height and live close to Germany (Poland). Everyone is different but i hope to reach similar amount aswell. Once more good luck.

Congratulations, Constantine! It's finally over.
I hope your healing goes well from now on, and your duckass situation is resolved as soon as possible.
I have to ask, too: would you consider posting a picture of your results in the forums after you're done with your recovery? Of course, a picture of yourself where we can see your lengthened femurs, but against a white background with no objects around you, and your face cropped out of the picture - for the anonymity.
Amazing how fast time flies. Thanks for keeping us updated Constantine, keep working hard on PT!

The work for the duck ass i must do by myself. I have a really good PT , he's also osteopath and has a sport diploma. He told me that it is proofed scientifically that a stretch must be hold at least 4 minutes to bring the muscle to lengthen. He showed me different stretches for each muscle. I must do each stretch one time and hold at least 4 minutes , of course you can do it twice. He said it doesn't bring much to stretch 10 times a day for 30 seconds. He explained all this more complicated and professional but this is it in my language He also told me to do PT ones a week is totally enough to check if everything is improving and check if i do the exercises right. The rest i have to do by myself

Hey Android, i remember your first post on my diary no lengthening is over time really flies
I am now 4 days post lengthening. i feel a little bit better but still pain here and there.I start to get off the pain killers slowly.
I did my X rays today . I send them to Dr Betz and i am curious about his opinion.
I couldnt stretch my legs thats why we have two photos, they couldn't bring both legs completely on one picture:

Because of my bended legs they couldn't bring both legs on one pictures so there are two:

Pardon me, I am seeing straight bones here. What do you mean bent? as in leg muscles or the nails + bone? And do you imply its because of the surgery?
