Just want to say this, if you think youll be close to your previous LL athletic ability after doing LL your crazy. Im nowhere near! Getting closer every year but i highly doubt ill be as fast.
The drop foot on my left foot set me back a lot and my left foot gets tired after running so much. Especially since im back at my previous job order picking and basically jogging and on my feet for 8-10 hours a day.
Overall i think im doing pretty good. I had knee pain but its slowly going away now that i been focusing my workouts mostly on my knees.

Maybe it is because you lengthened your legs at the same time which is impressively hard and needs more courage. congratulations. But still, If you had waited for a year before having a second surgery, i'm pretty sure you'd be better than this position.

He did cross lengthening. Meaning 1 tibia and 1 femur on opposite side for one surgery, then the rest for the second surgery. Waiting is not a feasible option, his knees would be different position and quality of life would be very poor if he had to wait 6 additional months in Russia
By far one of my most favorite outcomes. I just keep coming back to check out your videos and pictures. You look fúcking sxxy.

God tier proportions for 9cm lengthening. Especially after gaining weight, signed obviously post distraction you're gonna be skinny as fúck which makes legs look much thinner and weirder. Looks literally unnoticeable after you returned to a normal weight.
Congratulations Jim. Leave and never come back, enjoy your height forever. Imagine going from 165 to 174. Literally life changing. Congrats 🎉🎊🎊🎉🎊🎊🎉🎊

Your running looks great in this video. And you look symmetrical. Regardless off the method you chose, you had a good outcome. Would It be possible to get a 3 year post op update?
great progress man, I am happy for you
I'm going to get LL from either Dr. Kulesh or Dr. Buldu haven't decided yet, would you recommend Dr. Kulesh?
Also how long were you in russia? How long before you could walk? I'm planning on doing 4-5cm tibia if I go with Kulesh and I want to know the recovery time. Do you have knee pain from the nail that was inserted?
Also would you say the discomfort is so unbearable you can't work remotely? My job is remote so I'm hoping I can just do it while lengthening
Please, 4 year update!
Your portions and recovery looks like it went well. You were smart to do 4cm on tibias and 5cm on femurs.
