Quote from: Sweden on October 09, 2013, 04:19:41 PMYour callus looks like it was more than a year since first surgery. Are you Superman?

Haha, thanks. Actually DEM is having a faster recovery than I had. He lengthened 7.5 cm and is getting is ballerina down and walking with crutches quicker than I was. He even did a little bit of walking without crutches several days ago. I will get after him to do an update in his diary.

@Leonardo2013

Yes, anything between 6 and 7.5 cm is ideal. I think most people can lengthen 7 cm on their tibias and they will still look normal to anybody who is not aware you had leg lengthening.

I do not think you lose any mm after frame removal. The rod is locked in place with screws before the frame is removed so I do not think this should happen.

Hey, Calic -- what do you know of Captain? I knew he lengthened the same amount as you did, but do you know how his recovery is? Thanks!

Calic and I went out to the mall yesterday and he was able to walk/stand for 2-3 hours straight totally unsupported.

My goal is to be in his condition by the time I leave in 20 days so I walk home unassisted. I have a long 24+ hour flight with layover plus a large luggage so my legs need to build up this level of endurance.

I am not sure but I heard from others that he is not walking yet since he is so heavy he needs a lot of callus before he can safely do it. I am not sure what the status is on his foot.

Calic what are your thoughts on

1. Sarin horror stories
2. Dr jamal / jamal nail?
3. censorship from old forum
4. censorship from Sarin?

I do not know of any horror stories. There are patients who have had problems but since they have left I am unaware of their current status.

I have not looked up much information on Dr. Jamal or the nail but he seems like he might be a cost effective alternative to the HLN for internal femurs. I might consider going to him in 2014 if I choose to do my femurs.

I think it is cool Sysop wants to push LL forward but the way he is going about it is wrong. Promoting a fake diary for an inexperienced doctor and removing all traces of Dr. Sarin without any legitimate reason is not right.

I wish we could find some testimonials or diary's for the guy. It does seem like a good alternative for internals. Perhaps we should all try to do some research and see what we come up with.

So, for working class people like myself, what are the least expensive BUT safe options out there? Some one mentioned Dr Sarin increased his price -- does anyone know by how much? Thank you!

Has that "deep bone nnfection" been confirmed or mentioned by anyone else other than Syop/Apotheosis?

Maybe i missed a few posts that did.

I was roommates with the HLN patient for most of my lengthening and I am still in contact with him by email. He had the infection pretty much the entirety of his lengthening and after going back home he had to have the infected rod and screws removed and he also had an infection around the site the hydraulic hose went in.
