Great man and good luck! Where and which doctor are you getting the surgery from if you don’t mind me asking. I’m planning to do the surgery soon too. Thanks!
It would be nice to have the "getting back to normal phase" a bit clustered. Like when to walk without cruches, first steps, first walk, first day to day activity like going shopping. Keep up the good work you are great!

Well, once again, a great interview full of new info & experience, thanks to both of you guys for sharing it here. Also I want to ask Victor about a direct way of contacting you. I have sent a couple of emails in the last two weeks in reply to your weekly emails that I receive but so far I haven’t heard back from you which I assume could be one of two reasons: either my emails aren’t getting through or this isn’t the right channel to contact you. Either way, I’d really like you to answer a few important questions for me as I’m planning to go for the surgery very soon, so please could you let me know how I can make direct contact with you. I’d be really grateful. Thanks
Hey @cyborg4life love your videos.you really do great work,and helps out everyone considering or actually going thru with this procedure. I actually got a surgery day in 1 week! I’m a little anxious,even after watching like all your videos I still don’t feel prepared.any advice ? FYI I’m going for 8cm on femurs Current stat 5’5
Wow that's exciting! My best advice is to do 3 things; 1. shoot a video on your phone about why you want to do this so much and have it ready to watch the first week after surgery. 2. take pictures of your current stature for later comparison as the difference will highlight the worth later. And 3. Embrace your current ability to walk around normally - go for your "last walk" as we often take things as simple as walking for granted. Then really just imagine how you might maneuver and what the pain could feel like and set up your living environment to accomodate for the big day. I wish you the absolute best!
@@Cyborg4Life thanks soo much! That is some great advice I will definitely follow thru!And i would even be available for a interview sometime after the surgery to share my experience.it really helps out everyone.I saw the video with Alfonso and as a matter of fact I talked to him too. Because I am going to limbplastx in Las Vegas just like him.
Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, because the global supply of S-needle has stopped recently, and I had planned to go to Greece for S-needle operation, so I had to put it on hold. At present, I am going to do lon with Dr. Halil Buldu in Turkey, and I would like to know your comment on him. Is the doctor's technique reliable?
is there any heavy load muscle training involved ? I mean to cause hypertrophy in fast twitch fiber high load is necessary and low load exercise only affect slow twitch fibers
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean during the lengthening? Or in general? Because during this procedure until about 1.5 years later, heavy training s should kept to a minimum as you rehab and rebuild
Oof sorry that everyone is bashing you for wanting this at your current height. It is possible and can be done reasonably safely! But, for 4 inches you are going to have to put down the big bucks to keep it safe. You need to do both Tibias and femurs. Many doctors will allow them to be done a coupe of weeks apart, but this is going to increase risks quite a bit. To maximize safety the tibias should be done after the femurs are fully healed maybe a year later. Also I think the best split is 6cm femurs, 4cm tibias. Definitely do it with a doc with an excellent reputation and experience as 4 inches is a lot!
Victor really like your videos keep it up!!! Would be grateful if you interviewed with Dr. Halil Buldu a turkey doctor who does limb lengtehing. Would that be possible?
1) If the goal is to increase 2 inches, is it better to do 1inch in femur and 1 in tibia? Is it safer than increasing femur 2 inch and not increasing tibia at all. 2) Also, can that be done in one go with small time gap between two? I read in a 2017 research article that tibia to femur ratio should be. 80 and if you change the ratio then arthritis is expected at later life.
If just 2 inches, just do on one limb. Anytime you can reduce the amount of surgery the better. Arthritis is usually developed from constant wear and tear. If poor alignment or lack of flexibility then possibly yes, but I'm more likely to develop arthritic joints from heavy weight training than limb lengthening
Cyborg after you gained 2 inches are you still 100% of the athlete you were before? Do your muscles produce the same explosively and endurance they did before or has it lessened? Also how is your cardio? Can you still run for long periods of time or do your legs get tired faster?
No I'm not the same. I'm different. I had to adjust to my new normal after LL. Just like any other LLD or CLL patient would there is an adjustment and adaptation period where you have to get used to the way your body moves and strengthen your muscles and explosiveness throughout that new ROM. Could I do a 19ft long jump like I used to in my second year of high-school...possibly if I trained for it. All I know is endurance is simply due to training. My cardio is really good now actually. I jog about 1mile every morning - except this last week due to snow, but I can run for longer periods and I can explode up hills pretty fast.
@@Cyborg4Life Thank You for your reply. How long does it take you to do 1 mile? Also would you say the muscle bellies in your legs were affected negatively in terms of appearance? I know that kind of stuff matters in Bodybuilding.
@@team3gaming749 I did get some hypertrophy from lengthening I just had to train smarter and harder to even out the symmetry. I could easily run faster if I wanted to so I could make it less than a 6min mile. I hate distance running so I just jog it in the morning for daily activity
@@Cyborg4Life Less than a 6 minute mile after surgery? That’s amazing. I know everyone is different but after lengthening 2.5 inches do you think I could still make my miles less than 6 minutes or do I need to stick with 2 inches like you? Does that extra .5 inch matter?
@@team3gaming749 I would say every bit more than the conservative amount makes this harder and even then it depends on the person, their muscle slack, work ethic etc. 2.5 inches via tibia would make it harder yes especially for athletes who push the intensity
I highly doubt it. I mean 2 inches is well within a proportionally safe range where arm lengths vary greatly. 5-6 inches of lengthening could change things however
Can you explain to me the surgery he mentioned as an excuse not to tell someone about the LL? That is similar to the same surgery? Like how could I explain it in simple words
can you please give me a name of a doctor in Russia that is doing limb lengthening during this time and is also very experienced becuase I couldn't find anyone and by the way I love your videos and you sharing so much information thank you
I think you just have to say "hey I want to get limb lengthening done to gain some height" they ask why, why would you do that to yourself and not to mention the price and you say "because I just can't get it out of my head, and it's preventing me from performing my best and living life to the fullest" they say "that's too dangerous and crazy...not to mention the money" you say, "I'll save up, cut expenses, possibly borrow from you and pay you back, but life only goes forward and I understand the risks, but willing to take them to improve my perception of myself". They say "I still think you're crazy but alright have you done research" At this point, you've put the thought in their head, now you just have to keep reiterating it every few days for weeks possibly months on end they'll get sick of hearing about it and then they'll want you to get it done to just stop talking about it - hope it helps!
@@jordantan4213 What was their initial reaction? Any negative comments? I always find the reaction side of the journey of people who’ve done the process to be very interesting.
Hey cyborg4life I talked to you previously.I have the procedure coming up this Friday. I wanted to know if you know or have talked to anyone who has gone the whole 3” on the femurs ? I see Jason,and even Alonso didn’t go the whole 8cm.and they were taller then me my starting hieght is 5’5. So is it still possible or is it wishful thinking since I’m shorter and have shorter muscles,(although I have a lot of thigh muscle)
Ah yes, I remember. So I have talked to two other patients who have done the full 8cm. Last I talked to the one who finished in November he was confident he would achieve maximum recovery. I believe he is busy with work as I haven't heard back from him. I do believe you can shoot for 8cm however if things begin to get very tight you should still be able to hit 6-7cm with no issue. The last cm is often the toughest from what they all said. I'm very excited for you! Please feel free to reach out directly to email: cyborg4life.com/contact/ if you need to chat
