Phillip25's Journey with Dr. Sringari

[Phillip25]

You are doing awesome, keep holding on brother

Just a question, is it normal your right leg (Xray) bones aren't aligned?

Hope it's nothing of course!

Thanks bro!
Is my fault I twisted my right leg when they took the X-ray
Really happy that I will reach 2 cm by Friday
Have a good one!

Hi Phillip25's!

I saw you were aiming for 5.5 cm, and I am aiming for the same amount since from what i read, it is a safe limit. (Also I absolutely want to avoid ballerina foots and chances are really low at 5.5)

I was going to do like this :

-1mm/day to 2cm.

-0.75/day to 5cm.

-0.5/day to 5.5cm.

And so I wanted to know what was your schedule about lengthening rate? 

Congratz on your 2 cm!

I'm aiming for 5cm. so what I'm planning to do is length 1mm till 3cm then see how I feel like some days 1mm and some 0.75mm per day.Im staying in India for 3 months so I need to rush a bit
5.5cm is good target man I'm sure you will be fine.
Hope u doing well
Cheers

Haha Thanks Phillip25's, but I'm actually saving up for my LL which I plan to do in exactly one year from now! 

I have 6000$ saved up, so I need to save 10k$ in one year which is a target i can reach with my job! (It will be a long year tho, can't wait to get LL  )

Hi El Pili Pili

Where and wich doctor do you want to have the surgery with?

[El Pili Pili]

Hi Arch,

With Dr. Sringari in India, that's why i've been following a lot of diaries about him recently!

He is the only decent doctor I know and can afford for now and I really want to moove on with my life and do LL Asap.

[Arch]

You want to go with Dr Sringari next year september 2017?

I am still doubting about him or Dr Barinov


Kind regards,

Arch

That's great man, hope u save the money asap aha, remember to bring some extra cash when u come by ,I will say at least 400 dollars(internet, food,protein.etc)
I waited couple of years to do LL so I know what u mean!

cheers

Hi Arch,

You want to go with Dr Sringari next year september 2017?

Yes exactly, more in october 2017 as I need to finish my contract with work.

Also I need to figure out how to get a visa and how to transfer all my money to the hospital, but I will start to search when I'll be closer to october 2017 

[Phillip25]

Hey guys
This is my latest X-ray from a few days ago, after turning  for 28 days I gained 3.1cm in my left leg and 2.6cm in my right leg
I'm trying to catch up from now to my left leg so I'm turning 0.75mm and 1mm in my right leg.
I had knee pain in my right leg for the last couple of days, Dr Sringari came to see us in the guest house and give me some medicine.
I'm feeling much better and I'm really happy that I'm finally 180cm  ,cant wait to start walking aha
Cheers

[Phillip25]

 I wanna show you guys my scar in my knee, as we know LL leave us a lot of scars (14 scars in each leg  ) so I'm trying a product called Cica-Care which is supposed to be one of the best treatments for scar removal, I will keep using this treatment for a couple of months and I will let you know how it goes


Knee scar


Silicone gel sheet

[Arch]

Keep up the good work Philip!

Are there any major problems or things you'd like to share with future LL'ers?

Kind greetings,
Arch

[Phillip25]

Hey guys!
After gaining 5.1cm ,I removed my frames last Friday and the feeling is great 
I was having knee pain in my right leg for the last 2 weeks before frame removal but after frame removal the pain went away
I don't have ballerina or knee bending which is a big plus
thanks for reading
Cheers!

Its so great to see that you didn't get greedy!
finishing LL with no ballerina and knee bending is something i want to achieve and very few people i have seen who were able to get away with it.
please give me some advice which will help me avoid such complications. Tell me, how much did you exercise? both during and before the surgery..

I am happy for you and wish you the best.

Congratulations Phillip!

Glad you are doing fine!

Do you mind showing us the picture of your nail insertion!

Let us know how you are doing these days!

Have a great winter!

Thanks fightforit!
Well 6 months before I came to India I trained hard on my flexibility (check on youtube) and don't length more than 6 cm if you want to minimize complications.
During lengthening I was stretching around 3-4 hours a day. Also this exercise below was useful to me, attached one elastic band to the frame as hard as you can and leave it for 30 min at the time; do it a couple of times a day
Cheers

I'm doing fine these days, feeling stronger day by day, yesterday I walked from my room to the living room, first time walking in 3 months so it was a bit challenging
Here is my scars in my left leg 7 weeks after stitches were removed

Hi Philip!

Those scars look very well taken care of.
It looks like bruise instead of a scar from a surgery =)

How long do you intend to stay in India now?

What are your total expenses?

Mind telling me that

Have a great night!

[El Pili Pili]

Wow congratz Phillip25's for your journey!

I can't believe you're already done lengthening, I remember commenting on this post 2 months ago and now you just finished!
