Can I ask you why have you had a bone graft?

Quote from: star-ray on October 06, 2019, 12:08:49 PMAND AM FINISHED !!!  Its been 74 days since the second surgery (left leg). I have done my last pulse today and no more lengthening required I can stand straight, and walk but been advised to use one crutch for a bit like a week until am comfortable without it.

in total it has been 216 days since the first surgery (right leg). I will post a video of me walking. Dr Monegal has been Ace, the surgery couldn't have been any better and my recovery has been good too (I thank God as well).

Now, I just want to see my friends and family again as i have been actively avoiding them as i didnt want anyone to know or see me during this phase.

Good luck to everyone doing LL !
Congratulations for your new height, enjoy it so much.

I have my Nail removal surgery today at 6pm !!!!

I've had my Fit Bone nails in for over 2 years and today hopefully they will be removed from both legs by Dr Monegal.

I wanted to get this removed last year but because of Covid/Traveling restrictions, it's not been easy to arrange to get to Barcelona from the UK.

My Journey so far has been smooth and I am very thankful for all the great work Dr Monegal has done for me. From the very first day and throughout my Journey, Dr Monegal has always been in constant contact and every time I see him in person, he seems so happy to see me. He has truly changed my life for the better.


If all goes well today, My journey which started in March 2019 to achieve 6cm has been successfully completed

Nice to see a journey done one side at a time. I am considering this option or pure externals since Stryde is now out of the picture.

Were you fully recovered before nail removal? Did you face any limitations in any activities?

Edit Post

The removal surgery was completed successfully 

I do have to stay in Clinica Diagonal untill tomorrow morning and then will be discharged. 

Now the Journey is truly completed.

Hello "Want-3-inches",

Yes I was fully healed before this removal surgery. I was doing all exercises with the exception of sprinting and any squatting with weights and able to do all normal activities.

Congrats star-ray! Now I think with the nails out you would recover completely (sprinting and all that)!

You mention you went to work while lengthening one side at a time. Wasn't it obvious to the others that you were doing this? A 6cm discrepancy would be very apparent especially with the knees being at different heights.
