hey guys I am RAKA, I don't have to pretend anymore. To undergo my amputation was the beat thing ever, although expensive and very painful process, everything was worth it on the end. If you want to talk about it send me email lucamputa@hotmail.com
My girlfriend is wannabe and we are looking for more information on the subject, we are still lost.
We are looking for real information, from wannabes and ex-wannabes, we want to talk about it with people who have done their amputations or with people who have yet to do them.
Hi, For me it is just above the knee. I reckon this way that the stumps can be nicely formed, and that there is enough lenght to wear effective prosthetics. However I think lots of the time I would be using a wheelchair. Or when at and around the home do not use any gear, or maybe just stubbies.
Do you pretend as well? And where are you based? Honestly I sometimes become a bit tired of just meeting online, and would like to meet somebody in real life to talk about our wannabe road...
I just moved to Ireland, still regularly in the Netherlands and other European countries.

Dak amputee wannabe here, long time pretender. My legs are in constant pain and when I pretend they go to sleep, stopping the pain. I just came out to my wife about wanting to be a bilateral amputee. I want mine 2-3 inches above the knee, just sticking with using stubbies or wheelchair. We are now on the search to find a surgeon willing to perform the amputation. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a private surgeon??

I am 40 year old amputee wannabe from from Sweden. Been pretending since i was 13 and love it. My family and close friends knows about my feelings about wanna be a DAK amputee. no big deal for them. I pretend to be a DAK amputee almost daily. I want my stumps short around 10-15 cm long. Been searching for a clinic for the past 5 years to be able to have my legs amputated. Got a lot of information and for you guys who are looking, I'm happy to share some of my information as well as share stories and how you guys feel about being an wannabe.

Hi. I am already a full time wheelchair user as I am disabled through a neurological condition. After 14 years in my wheelchair, I really now want to have a single leg amputation.
Hi. I am new to this forum. I have been a disabled wheelchair user for 15 years now and cannot walk at all. It is now my dream to to be a single leg amputee as well.
This is only a dream, but who knows it might happen. I envision becoming a quad amputee over the course of 10 or 20 years in the following order:
Year 1: loose all ten toes on my left foot
Year 2: loose all ten toes on my right foot
...
This order is very important to me because I want to enjoy each step in the process. This will likely never happen like this, but who knows.
Very nice, but I would always do both sides at the same time to keep symmetry, and not through the joints but below/above in two steps: toes, mid feet, above ankles, below knees, above knees, below hip, at hip, fingers, palms, above wrists, below elbows, above elbows, below shoulders, at shoulders, both eyes, and finally eardrums and vocal cords. At the same time as below hip I want the sphincter to be removed to become a fecal incontinence.
I would consider keeping my legs symmetrical (cut off at the same time) but I would start with only my left arm when I get to upper extremities because I want to retain some function and independence. Once I get to my right arm, I might just want it chopped off all at once, since it would be pretty useless without a hand. I still want to see, so one eye would suffice.
