Quote from: AllinStryde on July 02, 2024, 11:43:01 PMI did 7 cm on femurs in West Palm Beach. It was an interesting journey. I started CLL at age 39...so 38 is not "too old" as some people are saying. Do I wish I could've done it at age 25? Of course. The harsh reality is that this procedure is so costly, many people can't reasonably afford it in their 20's...and there's no way I would have gone to some "bargain clinic" in Turkey or India to get butchered. If you do this, make a diary, kinda wish I had.
I'll definitely make a diary. After spending a week with my brothers (those lucky fkers are all between 5'9 and 5'11), taking pictures with them, editing it to see the difference, and comparing our proportions, I've slightly revised my goals. At least my path to getting there. I'll definitely do just one bilateral segment and see how it goes. In fact, I might just do 2inches on my tibia first. I would have never thought I'd go that route a month ago. I was sure I would do femurs, but I've come around to believe that this is now the best course for me. Aside from the fact that I don't want the changes to be too drastic too quickly, I am actually kind of looking forward to the muscle hypertrophy that some people want to avoid (a "side-effect" for some, but definitely a benefit for me). My calves are way too thin right now. The second benefit is that I would have complete control over what my final height would be on my second procedure without having to worry about being disproportionate. I can dial it up to just 5'9/5'10 if I want and be done with it, if I feel it's sufficient. I imagine it would also be easier on my body as the risk of complication has an exponential growth curve. Ultimately, I might just stop at 5'10 with two 2inch LL procedures. I could be content with that and would not look out of place standing with my brothers. Their arm lengths aren't too different from mine.
By the way, how has it been since you had your procedure? Was it worth it?
