I'm planning on telling just one friend about LL. I'll tell others I had surgery, but for a different reason.
What reason can I give for operating on femurs? Like for tibias you can say "correcting cross legs".
Yes, that's a nice lie 
If I'll do it I'll say that's for my flat feet
How about telling them that you had an accident that causes your bones to fracture. That is what I have planned to say . My friend will not have an idea.

Hmm, what kind of accident would injure both femur bones? I need to find some minor deformity to make up.
Like I said, for tibia you can say to correct bow legs.
Just say you torn your liagments. This would explain your walking and the scars. It's hard to explain the height gain, but there is no legit explaination besides LL.
You could say that you had a small length discrepancy and at the same time they corrected the femur/tibs ratio on both femurs to get the proper 0.8. You gained a few cm in the process.
They won't think you had LL, just that you had a small discrepancy and in the process of fixing it you ended up a bit taller.
If I do it with Dr Monegal I will firstly be going to Spain to teach English as a foreign language, which I may well do over Skype, I'll probably come back with one busted leg and say I was playing football, skidded into the post and goalkeeper and bust my hip.
If I do bilateral, it's I was run over, 4x4, metal grid, both femurs. Ouchies.

I like this. But aren't the discrepancies for tibias only and not femurs? Never heard of it.
"Because many cases of LLD are due to decreased rate of growth, the femoral or tibial epiphyses are commonly affected regions."
It goes either way.
