Hi Kkmeltonrn,

A tourniquet isn't a bad idee, I tried this in the past... The medical world sayd that a limb can die when there isn't more then one hour no more bleed in it, that the limb without oxygene/air dies,... but even after 4 hours tourniquet everything worked again and it was a incredible pain.
The first hour it was O.K.... just a nice feeling of a sleeping leg, but after that hour, wow! incredible nerve pains. I think there is a possibility to reach the amputation on this way, but only with very hard painkillers...morfine... and a lot of more hours with a tourniquet.

Well, ... there are many possibilities, but none of them are100 % risque free
the methods 'without' pain.... xylocaine/lydocaine injectable, then faking accidents, real horror, but also real amputation afterwards.... dry ice for hours... the limb goes asleep, and never wakes up again... this are a few of those 'hard' methods.
When people do this self injuries it is also easy to tell in a hospital things like 'i worked with an electronic saw'.

A few years ago i helped a young female wannabe from England. She buyd xylocaine/lydocaine, she wanted to be a toe amputee, she told the hospital that a big knife was falled on her feet. They believed her story.
Without telling names; A good friend rented a motorcycle, went out during the night, told the hospital that he made a bad fall and also they believed him. In reality he injected xylocaine/lydocaine in his leg and damaged that leg so hard (with a hammer) that surgeons needed to do his wanted below the knee amputation.

What I know for sure is that it is easy to become a higher level amputation once you are an amputee... when i was abelow knee amputee and i wanted to be above the knee i just went to a surgeon, told him that i had incredible pain, that my whole live was based on painkillers and that i couldn't walk.... honnestly i had nothing on my knee, but a time later i was an above knee amputee. He just believed me.

Have you done this?

Please tell me how you accomplished this.  I want to do this

The limb for AK would need freezing with dry ice pellets for at least three hours (with tourniquet applied when the limb was numb) if the person was thin, probably four or more if otherwise.  That's why fire extinguisher is not the answer; cold but too short a duration. 

A person doing this would be aiming to make that part of the leg non-viable RIGHT THROUGH, not just the surface.  The person could end up with weeks of skin grafting if the damage is only on the surface.

Covering with bandage would prevent pain on the skin, though there would be some slight aching of muscles.  The tourniquet would impede heat and cold exchange and stop damaged blood etc getting through.

BK, would need two hours or more.  A person would need to make a clamping metal touniquet and research where to position it above the level of the ice, remembering that quite a bit of flesh would be needed to fold under the bone. It is possible an extra tourniquet for compressing in behind the knee might be a good standby for BK.  It could be periodically loosened.  Behind the knee would be the position for AK tourniquet (tightened when leg is numb and left tightened). 

Well, I didn't need more than three hours.  As I said the tourniquet increases the effect of the dry ice.  The cold blood is trapped and gets colder.  The warm blood can't get down.  I also said three hours was for a thin person... if you have more beef, you probably need more exposure.  Not that I am encouraging anyone to do anything!

I can't speak from experience with regard to a "hand or arm job", but I am sure the torniquet would make it more effective and prevent the toxins circulating. Just where to situate it is open to discussion.

Thanks for your comment.   [Contradict me just once more and I will slap you a glancing blow with my stump... then you'll be sorry. (That or you'll love it!)]

 

I have the same feelings since many years i want my right leg amputated high above the knee to walk on crutches. Today it is not enough. The next step would be amputating my left leg too to have two stumps and sit in the wheelchair. The last step would be the left arm high above the elbow to be a triple amputee with three stumps.But today I can not say if this would be the end amputate my right arm too I can not say that it will never happen. I know that as beeing a DAK amputee or triple amputee I would need many help from others but the wish of becoming an amputee is very big and becomes always bigger. 

LAK but very high then eventually DAK 

Well, as for me i want to be a Dak for sure bu,t I am not sure that's where I would want it to end sometimes. I think of being a triple even a quad amputee. I dont know why that is.  I fight the feeling I think because I feel Dak is where I should end but being that I think of more not sure I would be satisfied totally after the DAk.

LAK very high just below the hip leaving a tiny stump then RAK just above mid thigh

DAK was my original desire. Somewhere along the lines that changed to LBE not sure when or why.

I hope you get your dream.

DHD just below the hip leaving no stump is my deeply desire, and mybee have a hand ampution late.

 

 

i also have been a wannabe since i was 7. At first and for a long time i only wanted to be an SAK, but lately i have had severe pains in both legs that doctors aren't able to treat, so i need LBK and RAK. Over the years i have admired arm amputees and pretended as an arm amp, and now i know i also want my left arm off AE at least, but SD also would be good. I guess BIID is a progressive condition - you start out wanting one thing, but later need more limbs off.

Has anyone recently tried or know someone that has tried to cause an AK amputation using Dry Ice and a Tourniquet. Am trying to find out the best place to put the Tourniquet to give the best length of stump?

 The price is not the issue... you better tell it....

Bilateral above the knee about 2-3 inches above the joint. I dont want full prosthetics, just stubbies and wheelchair.

Below the elbow and below the knee on the left side. Wearing a prosthetic arm and leg afterwards.

How do people know exactly how they should be ? I want to be a triple amputee left leg at the hip right below knee and left arm at the shoulder I dont know why it is so specific but it would be perfect

I would like to be a bilateral DAK.....but want just enough leg on both legs, so I can 'sit' up, or technically 'standing' on my stumps but not enough to move my legs or be able to move on my stumps....

point were my 'stumpies' are too short to have protestics....only a wheelchair

why is that in all caps?

I want to be a triple amp - assymetrical DAK and RBE with penectomy.

I want to hand-walking with my arms, walking on the ends of my bare stumps, wearing leather stump boots with flat rubber soles or wheelchair.
For arm- hook prosthetic, bare stump or with white stump sock on.

Later maybe few fingers from left hand or whole hand/arm to be officially QUAD(depends on whether I was single(triple) or in a relationship(quad))

Hello everybody,

 

my name is Tommi and I am 32 years old. In my post I would like to introduce you to my wish for the perfect body and I look forward to your opinions and comments.

Perhaps there are some among you who feel a similar desire.

 

Since I was a little boy I have always been fascinated by people with amputations, especially when I reached the age to look at pictures and videos of amputated people on the Internet for myself.

Since then, I've wished to be like that myself. I want to be amputated.

 

I have already read through several posts in the forum and I noticed that many of you are fixated on a special body part or your "desired body" in an operation

want to reach. It's a little different for me. My vision includes 3 steps, each of which extends over 5-10 years per "step".

For me the idea is simply wonderful to thoroughly enjoy every new situation that arises after an amputation and to find my way into my new life (may not sound like everyone

comprehensible).

 

I'll try to explain it a bit more precisely and would like to explain my three steps to my perfect, final body:

 

Step 1:

 

In the first step I would like to have my right leg amputated above the knee (RAK). Here my remaining stump should go about halfway to the knee. The idea of looking down at me

and to see only my new, beautiful leg stump on the right is simply unimaginably beautiful. I would only use crutches during my time as a one-legged man (I have already done this a number of times

already pretending, even in public). It is simply an indescribable feeling to swing your remaining leg through the two crutches.

I would spend the next few years settling in as a one-legged friend and enjoying this wonderful time with my new stump.

 

Step 2:

 

However, after a few years this would not be enough. In the second step I would like to have my left leg amputated in the thigh as well and now wake up from the operating room as a DAK.

In my opinion, I have 2 stumps of the same length. Of course, it is now much more difficult to get by in life. After all, I would now have to rely on the wheelchair (prostheses

would be out of the question for me now). But even with that I would find my way around, learn a lot of new things and take good care of my two stumps. I think I would meet so many times a day

just deal with my stumps, just wonderful.

 

Step 3:

 

As expected, my dream of my perfect body is not yet complete. Of course, just like as a one-legged man, I would like to thoroughly enjoy my time as a DAK before

the last OP completes me. In this step I would like to complete my left arm about 5 cm below the elbow. I want to wake up and be a triple amputee.

This is my final idea of myself - DAK / LBE.

 

So for me every new amputation is an event in life that I would like to enjoy. The moment to wake up in the hospital and be one step closer to your ideal. So I would find it

also absolutely not great if all three amputations were performed in the same operating room (if only there was this possibility, I wouldn't know whether I would do it, because even if I had this final state

my body would like, I also yearn for the other two "intermediate states" and would like to experience and enjoy them).

 

I am aware that this will of course bring further difficulties in life, but I would like to face these new tasks. I definitely want to keep my right hand, otherwise it is

(almost) impossible to live independently, and I would like to continue to be independent.

 

I know that this notion will probably never come up like this or anything like that, as I don't see any way to achieve it legally. But maybe I'll make it anyway

somehow implementing a step or two of the steps to get some relief from the pressure. I deal with my wish for so many hours every day that every step would be there

in the right direction, the way I would like to live, just wonderful.

 

Maybe someone of you feels the same way or has partly the same thoughts, then of course I am looking forward to an exchange!

 

In this sense have a nice day,

 

Tommi

I also want to be a triple amputee, I wanted this ever simce I was a little girl too...

I want to be a DAK and RAE or Right Shoulder Disarticulation..Then the only limb I will have is my left arm...that would be my perfect body.

Hi ampwannabe123,

I too am from the US, and want to be a triple amputee. I want to be BBK and LBE, but am struggling to figure out how to get there... maybe one day.
