I am getting LL on August 18th. The next few weeks I'm just focusing on exercising and stretching as much as I can. I can already reach down and touch the floor with my palms (with some effort) while keeping my legs straight. I've working on maintaining my upper body muscularity, and also doing cardio to keep in shape in that respect as well. And, of course, eating extremely healthy (low fat, low carb, high protein and high in other vital nutrients).
Excited to finally start my journey and be walking as a taller man (hopefuly) around Christmas! Shooting for 3 inches, but would be happy if I got at least 2.5 inches.

I really do feel that lengthening more than 5 centimeters negatively affects ones proportions quite a bit (especially on the tibias). I lengthened 6.5 centimeters on my tibias and they really feel long relative to my femurs. Something just looks off. So much so that I am actually considering another operation to shorten my tibias a few centimeters OR just lengthen my femurs a few more centimeters. I am sure that the latter is a better option, but I am still considering both. I should have just lengthened 4.5 cm and called it a day. What Sweden says is actually right.
who cares at this point about proportions.... how many good really healthy active years do we have in our lifetime... i mean being able to goo skiing perhaps, hiking,, etc... we already take a to of time out to do 1 surgery.... to me, 2 is overkill.... be done with it, don't regret it, and thick of the positive instead of the negatives...
being say 5'6 with normal tibias is not as good as being 5'9 with out of proportion tibias.... this is a reality...... i' don't car how my proportions ae, as i wear jeans or pants 99.9% of the time anyway
going for 8 cm on my femurs and not looking back lol. I think long femurs looks fine, especially if you fill yourself out with muscle as I will be.
