Skipping exercises to build the lower body at the gym?

Same issue here – I’m not extremely muscular, but my legs account for a significant portion of my weight. I believe it’s best not to bulk up too much muscle before undergoing limb lengthening to avoid potential muscle discomfort when lying down.

I think the contrary is true as during limb lengthening, the muscles have the potential to decrease because the legs are stretching and becoming thinner in the process. Additionally, remaining in a resting position for most of the day can contribute to muscle loss.

I think in general there is a trade-off. Increased muscle mass typically leads to enhanced blood circulation and improved bone development. However, having more muscle can also result in more difficult stretching. My legs were very strong, and I experienced superior bone growth compared to others, but I also endured more pain than most.

and how is your day going? How much have you lengthened using which techniques?

No idea m8 but my legs are noodles right now. And I was able to squat 130kg for reps not that long ago.

This idea also troubled me to some extent. At the moment, I only train my legs once a week and stretch three days a week. Due to genetics, my legs have never been large, but they are strong and well-defined. I truly think that if returning to lifting heavy weights like before the surgery is achievable, it will be a challenging and slow process that demands a great deal of patience and determination, similar to the experience of doing a squat for the first time in your life, starting from scratch.
