Doing very well  I believe.  Still lengthening but I'll be done in the next few days and will be returning to Spain in a little over a month to start work on my remaining leg.  Looking forward to gaining 2.5 inches and getting this behind me.

When did you return home and how has life been since your return? Anything mention-worthy?

Hey, how are you doing?

Have you finished lengthening? How many cm have you lengthened?

Can you comment on the difference between lengthening at home, vs Barcelona...... are you getting physio at home..... and finally are you currently suffering from any duck ass?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to know if lengthening one leg at a time is less likely to develop complications/stiffness because you are more mobile living regular life, instead of being confined to bed or wheelchair.

Thanks dude.

I wonder what the time frame is from surgery to walking semi-normal is when doing 1st stage internal femur with Dr Monegal. Does anyone know?

Edit Post

Some people are not walking yet after 3 years.

Man, ive been wanting to do this surgery for 4 years but i am so scared of the risks.

Edit Post

Risks are always there but you can avoid some if you choose a better surgeon

Who should you choose then. I thought for 4 years that Guichet was the best, but since ive been reading this forum for the past 2 days im freaking lost. Everyone seem to be incredible risky.

Realpatient is a troll with many accounts, ignore him and his accounts. If you want to decide on which doctor you would like to have your surgery with I suggest you read the diaries in the forum. The more diaries you read, the less you can go wrong.

As a Dr. Monegal patient, I'd recommend him.

Hey ouroboros,

Sorry for the late reply.  Yes, I finished lengthening on July 10th; I lengthened about 7 cm.

As far as lengthening in Barcelona vs. home; I preferred lengthening at home.  However, had I not been single and access to a secondary (hide away) residence to continue lengthening, I would have probably opted to stay in Barcelona for the term.  Less distractions and relative privacy during the lengthening/recovery process was a must for me.  I am able to work remotely, so I had lots of flexibility as far as locations.

i did all the Physical Therapy on my own while both in Barcelona and home.  I bought a Nitrofit Limber Pro Stretch Machine and just went to town on it three times a day.  I seem to do the trick, bone of the PT techs at the Clinical Diagonal though the movement that I achieved on my first leg  was very good; even wanted to know who I used for therapy at home.

I honestly can't imaging being confined to a wheel chair, one leg at a time was the only option I was considering when deciding who to go see for the procedure.
