Hey Penguinn! I've been waiting for this diary to open! All the best bro, stay strong! Will this be your diary or will it be the "Road to LL 2016" diary wherein you introduced the subject?

Thank you, and this one. That wasn't a real diary. I had that one locked a while ago so it wouldn't be bumped over actual diaries.
My blood work came back and I'm fine, so the surgery is locked in.
I wish you the best of luck man; I'm very curious to know your journey through this and hope everything turn's out well.
By the way, how in the world did you manage to secure 42k at age 18?
Best of luck buddy ............ .

Thanks guys
And parents. My dad knew how down I was about my height and nothing else worked so he suggested LL. That's right.. he suggested it to me.
Good luck Penguinn. I'm wondering how you came to choose Dr Parihar over Dr Shah. Shah is in Mumbai, has used the Precice on a CLL patient, and from what I understand charges less. Not knocking your choice just thinking is there a reason you seem to have not even considered the other doctor in your city?
Thanks, and I'd read some negative things about Dr. Shah on this forum, and later even more stuff through PMs. However I've promised the person who told me that I'd keep it to myself. Also after the first time I spoke to Parihar and through reading Kilo's diary I didn't think I needed to look further.
all the best brother .. fodd dio ...hope it goes well for u..
are you doing retrograde or antegrade insertion? are you going to allowed to partially weight bear (depends on the nail size to be used of course)?
from what I've heard from two doctors first hand is that retrograde insertion for femurs is safer than for femurs. Knee pain is supposedly less likely for femur lengthening insertions regardless of insertion point. Retrograde has some advantages too: lesser hip issues, can insert a thicker nail through the knee.
I'm sure your doctor has all this figured out. I was just curious to know.
Internal femurs is a blessing really for leg lengtheners

Internal femurs is a blessing really for leg lengtheners I haven't asked, it's upto the doctor. I'll have a final meeting before my surgery wherein I'll ask this.
I'd ideally prefer the knee because..let's be honest, who wants anything put through their ass...
Looking at my X-Ray he said he'll put the 11mm nail in but supposedly more than one pair of nails is shipped together and the biggest possible fit is inserted. From what I remember from our first meeting long ago, partial weight bearing should be allowed since I'm not overweight.
Oh and a random tip for anyone like me who does NOT want a catheter inserted.. go for general anesthesia. Spinal will mostly get you the catheter because you won't be able to pee for at least a day after.
