Most of member here need CLL to continue life. But some here have height neurosis (like me)
I think that when i reach 185cm(average for Dinaric Alps 185.6 cm) i will not ever worry about height, and i will not compare my height with other people.
So i was wondering does after CLL your height neurosis have gone? Or after CLL you still comparing your height to other people?
Quote from: Uppland on August 31, 2015, 07:18:04 PMIt's an important topic this, it would be quite dreadful to through all this pain only to find that nothing has changed. That said I think most people on here are relatively humble in their goals, actually I am probably one of the more greedy ones.
Here's another interesting question: if you had perfect proportions what would be the lowest height you'd be happy at?
My answer would be: 183-185CM as that would be comfortably average in Sweden. If I could grow 5-6CM naturally I'd forget about lengthening (though I admit I'd be tempted to do 3CM and be as tall as my dad).
And i feel like that I am probably one of the more greedy ones. I want to improve myself in every way,not just height. I am really good student,in high school was capitan of fotball and basketball team(even with this height),earning my own money,didn't have problem with girls,i have nice face,good body.But simply i was always obsessed with my height,that is only thing that really missing me.
I will not have problem with proportion becuse my wingspan is 189,i didn't mesure tibia and femur but my legs looking really short compared to upper body.I am about 180cm(181 morning) and i think that i will be happy with 185cm.
Quote from: Descreteuser on August 31, 2015, 07:58:45 PMto be honest being in serbia sucks for me.. because i feel shorter here at 185 than i use to back home at 181. because everyones so tall.. but it doesnt bother me cause this is only temporary being here. It depends what ur use to.. ill only know for sure once i get back to my hometown if its gone or not.. id say it will as il be 3inches taller than averge.. in serbia im in the 50th percentile at 185 lol.. when i was probably in 70 percentile back home at 181.. id say if ur use to being below average where u live and will become average than it will go.. but i cant say for sure..
Yes,it's realy being sucks live there,when i come in nightclub i feel like shortest guy,i think that even 70% girls in high heels are taller than me.
Also it's sucks to live here becuse average salary here is about 400e,and it's almost impossible to save 10000-15000e for surgery.
Quote from: Uppland on August 31, 2015, 09:41:41 PMAre the serbians really that tall?
If so that's even worse than Sweden.
Serbian's are very tall,with this height i am one of the shortest guy on college,i was the shortest in my class. Average height
people from Dinaric Alps is 185,6 cm on wikipedia,but i think it's about 186-187(my opinion).
Which is average height in Sweden?
Quote from: Uppland on August 31, 2015, 10:49:25 PM181 cm but yeah it feels like it's 184-185 way too often.
Right now i don't have enough money,i will need about year to saved enoguh to have surgery with Mitkovic,so i scared that could lose so much money,waste almost whole year in bed,give up many things(vacation,new computer,don't go on party) and than after that everything stayes the same.
So today i take some old air max,that increase my height for about 3 cm,with them i feel much better,that is about 1.5more than average trainers,so for sure that increasing of 5cm will be good improvement.

Sorry,i mean 400e per month.
Quote from: Uppland on September 01, 2015, 05:45:22 PMIf you're educated you can get a great salary in Switzerland, Belgium or even Scandinavia.
Right now i am student,need 3 year to finish.
But also dr Mitkovic will retire for 3 years,so i must do it in next two years,bit i hope it will do it next. 
It's not just about money,i will also need to spent 2 years (1 for money,1 for recovery)
So i hope that some LL veteran can say me does his life improve after LL?
Quote from: KiloKAHN on September 01, 2015, 09:13:09 PMThey're always hiring on fish processors in Alaska. Most places start at $8.75 Alaska minimum wage but once you hit 40 hrs you work overtime and get a little over $13 USD hourly. If you work offshore your food and room is free, and you work 16 hrs per day 7 days a week as long as fish are coming in, so you hit overtime on your 3rd day of the week in most cases. You could save a pretty penny if you work hard for a few seasons. I was able to pay off hefty credit card bills doing it.
Quote from: Uppland on September 01, 2015, 08:25:11 PMAlso Norway has crazy high wages, get a job at an oil platform. Though right now there isn't much demand for workers I'm afraid.
Quote from: Alittletooshort on September 01, 2015, 07:11:12 PMIf you really want to do this try to move to another country, the wages in Swizerland are incredible, but the rest of europeQuote from: Blackhawk on September 01, 2015, 09:27:32 PMWorking fish processors is rough. I worked on fishing boats in AK, WA, and CA. Also rough work but better money.
Once you have a job in a western country, even internals shoudln't be a huge problem in terms of money I think.
Thank you guys for your advice,i have plan to go with student organization in april and back after 4 months to USA,becuse it's realy hard to go anywhere with Serbian passport.So i am not sure that i will get USA visa,but hope i will. 
Anyway can we back to topic?
Does your height neurosis gone after LL? Any veterans?
180cm now and 5cm more willl make me 185cm,with that i will be average in my country.And for sure i will not feel like shortest guy at night club and other similar event,becuse for sure always will be guy shorter than me. And when i see girl 187(with heels)that will not be so bad becuse she will be only 2cm higher than me,and i will not feel so much short. That is my opinion.
With 180 cm I could say I am happy with my height
With shoes that would be 6 feet. That is a good height!
Good for your career, good for girls, good for everything

Why you think that your carer will be better if you are taller? unless you are basketball or volleyball player?
Nicolas Sarkozy,Vladimir Putin,Tom Cruise,Kevin Hart,Bernie Ecclestone,they are all short,look Nick Vujacic.
Then you will realise that for good career you don't need height,just need good brain
Quote from: jfk on September 02, 2015, 01:51:53 PMGood for you! But I would never feel really happy with my height unless I have really good height.
Of course I feel better with 172 cm. But lets be honest. It is still short.

If you were Serbian with 185cm,would you consider second surgery?
