Why are you leaning forward in this pic? are you normally like that or did you happen to lean forward for this pic?

Edit Post

I was wondering if you are able to do a squat? If so, could you post a photo?
When I do one now with my legs together my butt is about 5cm from the ground.
I guess I can lean more forward and then it is more than 5cm.
It's actually a very comfortable position and I could hang out like this for hours.
I imagine that if I lengthened by 7cm my butt would be now touching the ground ?!
(Interestingly, my friend who is very tall can't even get in that position because he falls behind.
He seems to have a totally different gravity center than me.)

I have a pretty good balance and am very good with sports like skiing, rollerskating or surfing, but I am somewhat concerned that getting LL will throw off my balance.
Have you noticed any significance changes in your balance?

Thank you!

Shyshy's pictures make me think Dr Guichet is one of the best lengthening options especially if you want to return to sports. But I wonder does he do internal tibias also?

I feel the same as before surgery when i bend over, it's just that i lost some flexibility n i can't go as far as i could before, but don't forget that the ground is now 7,5 cms farther from my hands than it was before^^

You look completely natural! And 175,5CM: what an awesome height to be for the rest of your life! Congratulations!

Hope you continue posting your recovery phase, great insight for us potential future LLer's, thanks

I'd like to ask if you dont mind, how many trips in total as in flights, have you had going back and forth to Dr Guichet already?

Ty ty.
I never used a plane, only train and cars since i live in France so not very far from Milano. In total, it's been 3 trips, 1 for the first consultation in Marseille, another for the consultation 1 month pre-op in Milano and the last trip for surgery and LL.

you look awesome!!
great proportions, nice physic and great flexibility!!
i honestly couldn't put my palms on the floor before starting training for limb lengthening, and it didn't cross my mind it would be possible to do it after limb lengthening!!
how long it took after finish lengthening to put your hands on the floor?
was Dr. Guichet that push you to continue training and stretching to this level!?
I lost a lot of flexibility during the LL process but i was still in a normal range so i been able to do normal stuffs very quickly. Just by walking and doing like 5-10 mins of stretching everyday i got back a lot of strength and flexibility post LL.
I really didn't try to push hard since i stopped LL, i can touch the ground with my palms since 2 weeks so 7,5 months post-op or 5 months post-clicking. Now the question is: Is it very useful to put palms on the floor in daily life? Lol probably not, it's just for fun!

actually i was alone to take those photos. I was using a 10 sec timer n was checking quickly in the mirror in front of me how i was looking, so yea i guess none of my postures in my photos r perfect. The point of this photos was the proportions but if u care about my posture, i can assure that it's great since a long time already^^

Err, many questions lol
There r many things to say about that position u describe. Due to the flexibilty of my ankles, i never been able to be so close from the ground, neither i am now.
I doubt that your butt would touch the ground after LL, u will just naturally adapt to a very slight different position.
About sports, it's nearly the same answer, the biomechanic changes so u might get accustomed to it as i did for running and squat.
I think i'll make a quick video to show squat.

He does but it's a different procedure, u can check it on his website.

Just to show squat movement

ok ok ShyShy! enough with the show-off.. we are all impressed!! 
let me turn things around.. at the moment what kind of things that you regularly did before, you still avoid to do!?

Edit Post

Whoa, not just a squat but a squat with a weight!
Good for you man! 

I have one other question:
How was the speed of moving on crutches throughout lengthening?
Could you walk as fast as before the surgery or was it say 80%?
Also, how was the speed of walking after getting off crutches?
Could the crutches be replaced with 2 canes or those
fitness walking sticks that people use for hiking?

P.S.I've sent you a PM regarding a specific issue post surgery
and am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter.

Wow you're like an exceptional case! What a difference with Leechlet

lol, don't be impressed u can do the same or even better.

Right now, at ~ 8 month post-op, there's nothing i used to do before that at least i wouldn't try right now. It's just still a bit less efficient than it was before the surgery.  work in progress...

Haha the gas bottle (not even 20kg) was all i found to show u squat, usually at my gymclub i can now push it to 70kg (not the 100kg i used to do before op yet)

About the "walk with crutches" speed, i would say it's more like 50% of normal walking. Also i was pretty heavy n not very muscled on arms so it was tiring but it didn't prevent me from walking at least 1 hour everyday.

I don't think sthg can replace those good old crutches.

About the speed of my walking w/o crutches, the first times were super slow n very tiring but it went back to normal very fastly. i couldn't tell u for sure, but i remember that 2 weeks post-click, it was absolutely impossible to tell that i had LL when i was walking.

IMO, Leechlet is kinda exceptional case lol
As far as i know, from a medical POV he was a perfect candidate. The length of his recovery is only due to his psychological unstability. anyway, i wish him the best
