Not very keen on uploading photos.
Quote from: Siegfried on October 14, 2021, 06:14:21 PMHey guys, I have surgery with Dr. Koehne tomorrow - first thing in the morning. I will be doing my left side, tibia and femur first and do my right side as soon as bone healing allows for it. We will be using Precice 2, since Stryde has been off the market for almost a year now.
I am a male in my mid-twenties and planning on lengthening 9cm in total, which would make me stand at a satisfactory 176cm. I was not planning on writing a very detailed diary, but I will decide to provide updates from time to time, since my lengthening procedure in particular will take longer than most.
If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread.
Hi, how is your athletic ability recovery. Do you feel better, worse or nothing changed in your ability like stamina and explosive ability. any sequela you are facing? Any strange feeling from your leg？
Hey there,
I thought i'd provide a quick update. As of today, about 14 months after the last surgery on my right leg, im successfully recovered. The surgery for nail removal with dr. koehne is scheduled in dezember.
Recently had one of the best summers of my life, while enjoying my new height to its fullest. Went to festivals, concerts, partys and had a blast. LL and dr.koehne compeltely change my life. Ive never been this happy in my entire life. Its weird, before the surgery i was always shameful about my appearance and angry about it - Now that is all gone, absolutely incredible what a 9cm increase can do.
As to my athletic performance: I recently took up jogging again, i usually do an intervall training, meaning i jog for 1-2min and then i change to walking for 1-2min. Its been working quite well for me and has helped me steadily increaese the pace and duration of my joggin sessions. Im hoping to be able to return to 100% of my jogging capabilities by spring next year.
Nice update siegfrid. I was wondering, how is your interaction with women now? Is it a night and day difference like some people claim or just better than before but not in a crazy manner?
night and day for sure, this is going from the womens average height to almost mens average height.
Sieg a few questions if you don’t mind:
1. Have you removed all nails, screws and rods yet?
2. What are the physical activities you feel are the hardest at this point compared to before? Are stairs still cumbersome compared to before? Do you feel a difference when running?
3. How do you handle the information about having done LL? As in, did you decide to tell friends and family? Do you tell your dates?

Well, i mean height is definitely the most attractive trait for a man, however its not the only one. Other things such as good looks, fitness, hip to shoulder ratio, intelligence, financial resources and humour are major factors as well. So naturally, if you lack in some of the other departments, you will still struggle to be attractive for women, as you are always in competition with other attractive men.
If you got everything else figured out and you are only missing the height, then this surgery will be a game changer for you. If you dont, the height will definetly be a value added bonus nonetheless, but to a lesser degree.
Naturally, going from below average to average height makes you more "noticeable" to women. While I always felt invisible to a lot of women, I now feel acknowledged and at least looked at as "man" (by both genders).

1. Nail removal is scheduled for december
2. Im not very limited in doing anything tbh. My stretching is very on point. Stairs and long walks feel normal again. Im currently working and improving on my running each week. Some residual tightness in the quads and hip flexors, as well as a lack of muscles still hinder me from being at 100% with my running.
3. Ive only told 3-4 close friends. I dont tell anyone else. I was off the grid for 1.5 years during my ll phase, where i only met with my close friends, who i told.
Other people dont really notice, since im still a tad below average in Germany and have not crossed the eye levels of most male friends.
Never had any female friends tbh, but im pretty sure they would notice right away. Women are more perceptice and definitely pay attention to these kinds of things more than men do. Why would i tell any new person i meet, let alone a date?
