OldieButGoldie Internal Femurs - Dr. Betz - 2013

Edit Post

   

Here comes an interesting detail: she told me looks did not matter that much for her (with men).
The only thing, she admitted, that really mattered to her: the man must be taller than her.
I really had to smile deep inside because this meant that I could never have had this beautiful girl had I not gotten my LL.
Of course, I did not tell her... 

So, for this love affair alone, LL was worth it. 

By the way, I do not only like her looks but also her personality.

Hello OldiebutGoldie. It's great that You recovered well after such a huge operation. You're one of my idols here!

I have some questions to You.

1. As far as I understood You have broken or bended Your nail. Why that happend? Did You do some exercises that are not recommended, or did You began to "live normaly" to early?

2. What type of nail were You using? Was it Betzbone? Do You think Dr. Betz have some better nail nowadays? Which type is "hardest" in Your opinion?

3. How do You rank Dr. Betz? Is he a type of doctor that tells You the whole truth, or do You have to ask about everything, and care for yourself, or You will be forgotten?

4. What is the biggest gain possible with Dr. Betz? I've read on "the old forum" his interview, where he claims that it's 13,5cm in femurs.

5. Do You have some bad experiences with "the old forum"?

If You think any of the answers for my questions should not be written publicly, please write it in PM.

 Yours,
Jan

Hi OBG,

Great story! 

Now that it's been a whole year, any plans on getting those rods out? Do you feel ready? I was wondering, when were you back to normal life/walking/functioning/going out and all (sports aside, I know it should take more time)?

Thanks a lot

Hi OBG. Congratulations on your truly inspirational journey! Do you think it would be possible to post before and after proportions photos of yourself for reference to others interested in undergoing the same procedure? It would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you.

This is a true lengthening success story!

Answers:
1. Wrong. Broken screws, not nails. Probably too much walking and other activity. Did not do anything stupid, like lifting heavy etc...
2. Betzbone. Don´t know anything about new or other nails...
3. I think he is an excellent surgeon. He is also extremely busy. He will do the best he can in order to assist when problems occur, but don´t expect him to always be around. He is a human being and cannot be everywhere at the same time.
One critical remark: Dr. Betz might be too overly optimistic in general. He truely believes he can perform surgery on anyone and will always have a good result. But there are patients who should not get this surgery (e.g., if you are mentally unstable).
It`s good to be super-optimistic but it is not bad to be realistic, too...
4. Don´t know. I personally know guys who have done 10cm and they seem to be ok. Depends on your body and how much your body will take...
5. Well, a little. don´t wanna go into detail here.

I think I could take them out now but I wanna wait until autumn because it´s tennis season now and I don´t wanna have any interruption.

getting back to normal is a slow, gradual process. But I would say I went "back to normal" weeks after surgery, because I went home, continued with my work, went out etc.
