Hi Puru,
Happy New year - Im wondering about proportions. I work in Finance and wear pants with a shirt tucked in, and wondering if my legs will look really long/small toros after LL. Will it look obvious when tucking in your shirt and wearing fitted clothes? Any thoughts?

Some people have longer legs, some people have shorter legs, there's a lot of natural variance. I wouldn't worry too much. The femur/tibia ratio can look off sometimes, but this is mainly an issue when you're wearing little to no clothing (i.e., at the beach).
Quote from: SimonFuller on November 20, 2019, 08:21:47 AMReally interesting analysis.
How old were you when you did the op again?
Is it safe to say this was a decision you are very happy you took?
I was 26. I"m happy I took this decision. I'll explain in the update.

Nope. No need.

Happy belated new year! People on the forum really overestimate how it will impact their proportions. It really won't. People have variations in leg length.

Precisely.
Update:
Its been 1 year since the rod removal. I've made a full athletic recovery and financial recovery. Through intense training, I'm able to run much faster than what I used to run before. I'm also in a weekly running club where we run 5 miles. I have no trouble keeping up with the other runners.
I've also managed to get my net worth to what it was just prior to starting LL (59k).
So to recap, surgery was on Sept 29 2017. In 2.5 years you can make a full financial and physical recovery (and get rods removed).
That's awesome Puru! hope to be there as well with you in the Fully Recovered Hall of Famers ASAP
your diary was actually one that has inspired me and gave me hope that a full recovery is possible, and as every day goes by in my journey to full recovery it seems more and more attainable with good work ethic and drive, so for that I thank, and congratulate you. Cheers LL brother.

Wow - A full financial and physical recovery is inspiring Puru. What an amazing outcome. You definitely earned it. I love how you not only covered the physical rehab aspect of this but also the financial/career aspect as well. It's been a joy following your journey and it served as a guiding light during some of the most difficult and darkest times of my journey. You've set the standard through consolidation and rehab post nail removal and I'm going to put in the work to follow in your foot steps in my own recovery! Happy for you! Cheers man!
Puru is literally my life fuel. Soft dev as well (at least hopefully) and similar stats. Height Neurosis has been hitting me since Pre-K when I was literally 2nd percentile in height and I'm not a dwarf or anything, completely normal, just have short parents. I'm so glad for your success Puru. You are my inspiration, and don't worry this isn't making me want to do LL, I've always wanted to be taller and height neurosis never goes away.

Hey Puru,
Great Diary. Completed reading the whole diary for the 3rd time and took notes. My surgery is going to be scheduled soon and I will follow some of your foot steps. Congrats on your height gain, financial recovery, and rod removal. Cheers brotha.

On a lighter note, I found an orthopedic surgeon with my username. Lol

Hey Puru! It's so great to hear from you! Kind of miss your updates on the forum, you are like an inspiration for me and many others...
