Quote from: connorcranston on May 20, 2014, 03:42:40 AMsince i'm from america, would it be better to go get a consultation with guichet and train at the isokinectic center for 3 weeks and get surgery or go home for a month or so and train. honestly i think it would be more expensive if i stay since i would have to get an appartment, but im afraid that if i dont meet the requirements back home, then hell make me train at the isokinectic center, which would cost even more money. AHHHHH damnit guichet.
It depends on the gain u expect n the requirements asked for guichet to obtain it. But it shouldn't be a problem to train yourself near your home and make few SLR and cybex tests in USA to check your progress.

Quote from: Tall on May 22, 2014, 03:57:19 AMWould it bother you to post some pictures showing the proportions of your arms and torso in relation to your legs and also what your body looks like when you sit down? You can blur or cover the face/head for anonymity. I'd love to get a better idea of what ~7.5CM of femoral LL looks like on a person since that is my height gain goal as well.
To give u an idea, it looks like this!!!
I also got asked about flexibility, what it looks like at 7 months n 3 weeks post-op
Quote from: Tall on May 22, 2014, 03:57:19 AMAlso, if you don't mind, could you talk about how people have reacted to your increased height, especially those who knew you before your surgery? Do people treat you differently now that you're taller?
My family and my friends knew about my surgery so there has been no change with them. For the others who knew me before the surgery, i noticed different reactions when people were looking at me. Some just didn't pay attention as if there has been no change, some noticed (i saw it in their eyes) a change but probably couldn't name it, others probably noticed i was taller but were too shy to ask me how that was possible lol. Anyway it's my life, i don't feel like i need to give them any explanations^^
I couldn't say for sure that people treat me differently but i can say for sure that i treat myself differently n i definitely feel more attractive.
Quote from: Tall on May 22, 2014, 03:57:19 AMLast question, I promise: you clicked 7.5CM and gained 7.5CM as well, correct? Do patients usually gain less actual height than what their bone gap shows as the result of the femur being at am angle?
I clicked 7,54666...cm and i know about the natural angle of femurs.
All i can say is that i was ~ 1,68m (evening height) and i'm now ~ 1,755 (still evening height) so if i didn't grew up by 7,5 cm, it must be close to that. But yea there might a 1 or 2 mm difference, i just couldn't tell u for sure.
