Just saw your AMA on Reddit, hope you don't mind me linking it here since it's no secret (you linked back to this thread after all).
/u/3inchestaller's thread was an inspiration for me as well. Again, thanks for sharing; it's great to see multiple communities benefit from your experience.

No problem, Android. I just don't want my identity/name to be revealed. I messaged /u/3inchestaller 3 years ago from that same account and he convinced me to do this in the states. At that time, I was not making anywhere near the money I would need to do this. I didn't even think it was possible for me to do it in the states (affordability wise). I can't believe its finally done. Whew.

Thanks
In interest of privacy, I'd rather not, sorry. To be honest, they don't look that different from Penguinn and DoingItForMe's X-Rays.

That's a little concerning.
I was told that the entire team, including Paley would be doing this. After the surgery you can ask for patient notes. This includes a timeline of how the surgery was performed and if there were any complications. Thankfully there were none for me. It was quite textbook.

Congratulations on your journey so far, thanks for sharing your experience!
That's interesting about the documentary, I wonder when and where it'll be aired.
Thanks for your wishes, Android. I should have asked for more details. I was just too ecstatic from the whole thing being completed to think further.

Can you explain what do you mean by privacy ?
No one can recognize you from pictures of legs and Xrays
So tibias with Paley is more expensive than femurs, huh? Just got done reading that reddit thread.
Good on you for sharing all the advice. 5'9" is my ideal height as well.
Also, do you plan on sharing with anyone IRL that you did LL? Would you tell a partner?
Quote from: Purushrottam on September 09, 2017, 04:48:33 AMThank you very much! I am 26. I chose Paley because he is the most experienced. I'm actually family friends with Dr. Mangal Parihar (who I believe trained with Paley as well) but since I live/work in the U.S, I thought that it would be more convenient to have it done here in Florida with Paley. Nothing against other doctors
Hei man, thanks for the diary and congrats on your new height. I have a few questions, is it OK if I PM you?

Thanks! Feel free to PM me. I don't check my pms often though.

Yup tibias are more expensive and the limit is 6 cm.
I don't plan on sharing this information with anyone. Only my parents know.

Sorry dawg I don't feel comfortable sharing x rays.

Replied.

Thanks a lot. Just one more question (in PM), thanks a lot.
not to be rude, but it is hard to trust a diary that does not have x rays at the very least.
Nobody could recognize you via x-rays so there should be no privacy concern.
Nonetheless, Good luck on your ll journey
