hi fivetenneeded, not related to your next surgery but can you share some pictures of your scars from the first surgery? want to see how unnoticeable they are especially with leg hairs!

the first post on this thread has the conclusions from tibia surgery- photos of scars xrays etc
Hey man, wishing the best for you.
Please keep us updated, hope you can post some photos in a near future when you have gained some cms.
Doing 2 cll is for sure a huge gain in height ( I assume you expect to lenghten as well 8 cm this time) so your final height will go from 160 cm to 175cm - 176cm.
With this huge amount of gains most of us fear to screw our proportions or mobility, although others users such as Myevolution have done similar lenghtenings none have shared photos of their final outcome. Hope you dont mind sharing - I am 5.4 planning to do at least 7.5 cm this year with Buldu as well and maybe another CLL after full recovery.

Dont worry I'd update every cruical event 
i have just recently started to lengthen
Hi fiveten I hope you are fine! I have an important question since I am also planning to go for precise in 3 months. So with your weight are you allowed/planning to use crutches (not walker) anytime soon? or at least once lengthening is over?
ps hold in there you're gonna be Charizard soon

thanks RDSL, hope to fly soon lol.
Regarding your question, I would say it depends on your weight. I am 59kg. I have 12.5mm precise which can hold 68kg. So I can actually walk on it too, but I still prefer using walker and crutch to be safe.
But my doc and other docs i had previously spoken to and watched on cyborg4life, had confirmed that if I got the smaller 10.7mm nail, which can hold 44kg, i would staill be able to stand on it...but not walk on it, despite being +15 more than its capacity. Also we have for example the user "sunshine"- who uses 44kg capacity(10.7mm) nail and yet stands on it while cooking etc, for atleast 30 mins.
By stand I refer to as being crutchless/full weight bearing.

wow that's good. i understand the concerns though, I wouldn't risk it too but well if I can fit the big precice I am 16 kg lighter than the 68kg. do you think I can send them an x-ray in advance to check if it's possible? how did you check it out?

yup, thats what i did. we had initally decided on 11.5(this is a custom variation of P2 as well, not talking about the stryde variant), but during surgery I ended up getting 12.5
update:
like my day 10ish for tibiad, where i could walk for so long..i tried something similar this time, as I walked outside to get a takeaway- ended up to be a nightmare with the femur.
Also coupled with hot water packs I have used overnights in the past, my muscle specially the right leg(i used the pack overnight for this leg) becamee very sore/inflammed.
I could feel like I have ACL- my knee would feel so unstable, some steps would lead to a electric pain from knee to mid thigh. I got bedridden from last couple days.
Today, my hips and upper thigh muslces feel so sore(all on right leg)..I have stopped lengthening and am using all the painkillers just to deal with it lol. I cant even focus on work for long lol.
ilizarov was much less painful tbh, atleast the initial days. Maybe its do with the fact that femur is much more complex(nerves/muscles).
I am now adding hempseed oil, icepack, and pain relief cold gel to see how it works for the pain. Although I am not much worried coz the doc and a few veternas have confirmed its normal in the initial days.
My mobility was quite good before this, and knee could easily bend 150°ish too(it still can but i avoid due to pain later)
