I live in US, not Northern Europe. I am very satisfied with my new height, and I think the most significant indicator of that is that I don't think much about my height any more. Prior to the surgery, I was constantly conscious about my height especially in public. So in my view, it was definitely worth it despite the expense and difficulty involved. Prior to the surgery I was aware of and accepted that there would have to be some compromises i.e. you can't expect to retain 100% of your prior athletic ability and neither will your proportions be the same. These compromises are part of the price that you have to pay for doing LL. Having said that, 2 years after the surgery, I'm back to doing the activities I used to do, including running, and my proportions don't bother me at all. There are some people for whom the issue of post LL athletic ability and proportions is a major concern, so in that case you either forego having the surgery or you do just the amount that you are confortable with. Either way, each person has to decide what compromises they are willing to accept.
