Update:
I will have my consultation with Betz soon, so if anyone has inquiries, feel free to inform me, and I can inquire. My surgery date is set for June, and honestly, I am experiencing significant relief because I have been anticipating this for a lengthy period. Just knowing that this is happening has already started to alleviate the dysmorphia. There is some fear present now that it is no longer just a concept but a concrete reality that I will have a quite leisurely summer. I am maintaining my daily stretching routine, and I have observed noticeable enhancements in my hamstring flexibility. Additionally, I am engaging in workouts targeting my glutes and legs with weights 2-3 times per week. Due to my remarkably rapid muscle growth, there has been substantial hypertrophy over the past month. My objective is to have them in a well above-average condition before the surgery date.
My interactions with Betz’s team have been excellent thus far; they mentioned that ITB release is now an option for anyone who desires it, and I will certainly opt for this opportunity.
I am curious if any experienced individuals have felt a sense of urgency in the months leading up to the surgery. Today, I briefly felt a semblance of what life was like before the dysmorphia – a soothing presence and a childlike curiosity towards the present task. There are admirable individuals on this platform who, despite encountering what I would describe as a debilitating mental disorder, have accomplished EXCEPTIONAL feats. I can only envision the pace of life and the increase in productivity once September arrives, and I have finished the limb lengthening process.
Perhaps I am idealizing this unconventional procedure. I do not know. I have always viewed it as the final hurdle before entering the realm of adulthood. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to witnessing the outcomes.
Your insights into my aforementioned queries would be highly appreciated.
