quick update:

The boredom is INSANE

Edit Post

Friday - May 21. 6 days after surgery

Boredom and loneliness are the biggest hurdles now. Also getting on/off the bed, jesus christ it's so laborious. I can't bend my knees freely yet; they're still swollen like grapefruits. The swelling on my thighs have died down an itty bit, but they're still chunky. I can kind of see my quads, which is nice.

I'm thinking of doing 5.5-6cm now. Wow, just a few days ago I had 7-8 on my mind. The reason for this massive reduction in goal is safety and healing. Likelihoods for complications appear to dramatically increase with each cm past 6, a well as a much longer healing period. Personally, f*ck that. I am not sacrificing my quality of life just to be a little less than an inch taller. At 5'9"-5'10", I'll be perfectly content.

I've reached out to an external physical therapist in the company to assist me with PT. I'll be doing between 5-6 sessions/week moving forward.

This also heavily reduces my stay in this 5th world country - previous estimations for departure was early August, now it's early July (if everything goes smoothly). That's the dream lads.

That sounds like a good idea!! Go for 6 cm, and there is no need for 7-8 cm. As you said, quality of life is essential.

Not to mention~ your proportions will look better too with just 6cm

Best wishes and good luck.

Wishing you best of luck with the rest of the journey. I know it is incredibly tough in those first few weeks but rest assured it does get easier. Have you considered aiming for 7cm as a higher goal to aim for? I am almost at 6cm and my goal is 7cm and I will likely stop there. I think it is an achievable goal and gets you solid value out of doing this surgery.

Not going to be posting super frequently unless something major happens; i'm lengthening 4 times a day, 6am/pm, 12am/pm. No tightness, no pain. My right side stings a little, kinda cold. Otherwise nothing's really happening. I told my mother about what I'm doing, and she was supportive. I'm really happy about that.

Originally I wanted 7.5 (3 inches solid) but I whittled it down to 5.5-6cm because I don't want complications and I really want a smoother recovery. It probably won't be fast, but I anticipate less issues along the way. According to most users, every inch is a world of problems in the recovery. So f*ck that. I'll be very happy at 177-179.
There's no reason to get greedy here. But good luck on reaching 7cm bro. Who did you do your operation with?

Fair enough bro, hopefully you have a relatively smooth journey to 5.5/6cm. I had my surgery with Dr. Betz. Thanks bro!
