Hey Alamin,
I haven’t measured myself post-op yet. The only indicator I have right now is my older sweatpants that are now shorter when I wear them lol
No i mean how much did u lengthen and what was ur pre OP height....and do u think guys who are 190 feel very tall for u if u have met any1 yet with tht height.
Oh I was 173cm pre-op and lengthened 8cm. I’ve been locked down since surgery and haven’t met any of my friends since then. I haven’t been out neither since I ordered everything online for delivery. It will be fun next year 2021 when I emerge from this pandemic and meet my friends again lol. I’m curious to see their reaction as none of them knows about my situation. Also there are plenty of 190+ guys at my gym so it will be funny too when I compare to them once my local gym reopens..
So currently u r 6 ft tall.... congratulations on becoming captain america😆....btw are ur arms very long with is ur wingspan....and wld u mind posting full body standing pictures here....that will be very helpful for some of us to know wht to expect after 8 cm femur..and were ur legs long or short for ur body pre OP..thnks for d replies....all the best for recovery.
I’m not quiet 6’ lol. Theoretically I should be a smidgen under at 5’11” but I haven’t measured myself yet post-op. I’ll try post a full body standing pic once I can stand straight and nice post-consolidation. I can definitely say my legs were on the shorter end for my body ratio pre-op and though I never measured my wingspan I’m pretty confident it was longer than my pre-op height. You can check my pre-op pics on the first page of my diary which will give you an idea of my older proportions..

so I just realized I didn't turn on link sharing on my Google Drive, just fixed now! I shortlisted Doctors Giotikas and Buldu for precice, price looks similar with Buldu offering additional 10 days hotel after 5 days hospitalization and the option of distracting-lengthening at home after that! Giotikas looks good with years of experience, Buldu is supposedly the best in Turkey but there are so few patients diaries about him and though he's not anymore part of wannabetaller, I heard so many horror stories on that matter that I don't know what to think about Turkey option. Anyone had done precice with either doctor could chime in and share your experience and opinion? Should I stop running and just stretch before surgery or is it ok to keep running ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Congratulation my friend!! Your pre-op height is in my opinion the best pre-op height to receive the most cost benefit out of this surgery. At 5'11, you will be quite tall compared to the rest of the World and most likely to be able keep your athleticism as well. I am already back to running, and playing mild sports like tennis at 1 year and 9 months mark post-op. And I skipped training for like 8 months!!! So I believe that if you are active before the surgery, and did a fair amount on femurs, you would be back very close to your athleticism pre-op ( considering that you train hard for it!) I will keep an eye on your diary. Best of luck!!!
Thanks my Friend!
Funny coz my native sport was actually tennis before I started running! Your 178cm height is definitely above average in Asia and I’m sure your surgery has transformed your life.
All the best!
Hey Sunshine, how’s everything going with consolidation? I bet you’re more than half way through. Were you able to take a picture of your current proportions and/or measure your new height? If so, please let us know your new height. For some reason people that undergo the surgery don’t post their new measured height in their diary. I want to know is they actually grow as much as they assume they did, or if they lose some mms/cms. Best of luck with your progress, hope to hear soon from you! So far, you’re the most detailed and interactive diary I know from this doctor.

Hi, Any update on your progress?
Hey,
Been a while since last update! I haven’t measured myself yet. My consolidation is slow as I can’t walk unaided yet. I expect to start walking on my own in spring as soon as my callus allows it.
