Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on February 21, 2017, 06:53:30 PMI sometimes had the crazy thought that even if I were paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair for life, I would still do LL just to be "theoretically" taller. Insane, I know.

How did the doctors and health care staff in Germany react, at your visits after your surgery. Were some of them weirded out for what you did?


Haha, at least you wouldn't have to deal with muscle atrophy  Questions for people who have done LL

I looked for doctors willing and skilled enough to take care of me before I went abroad to have my surgery. So they were okay with what I did.
Talking to their staff or other specialists they are sending me to is a totally different story though. When they see my primitive fixators, many think that I was injured badly at first. But they are far from being stupid and then quickly realize that I'm doing "limb reconstruction" (from their point of view) for cosmetic reasons. So I have to answer questions several times of course, but they never really judge me. The first time I met the radiologist, she couldn't really understand why I'm doing this, because she is shorter than me. But she also noted that she had been seeing far more weirder things during her career like people having self-implanted electrical devices in their body, or people having tools in their genitals and rectums Questions for people who have done LL  Questions for people who have done LL Questions for people who have done LL Questions for people who have done LL
So at least, I'm not the weirdest Questions for people who have done LL

Yves, I am 28 years old too and I did LL before 5 years.
Of course LL worths at that age and for even older men. Imo it completely worths it if you are even 35 years old and you see that your height have made your life mediocre compared what it will be if you reach a better for your self esteem height.
But some times expectations are much bigger than reality.
Personally, I used to have great relationships with hot girls when I was 5.65 but it wasn't that my height didn't matter, I was just lucky to find girls that didn't bother about that.
But now that I am more attractive than ever (men close to 30 years old are far better most of the times than men under 25) and wiser and of course with much more experience with women, i've told many times that if I was 5.11 I'd have been the perfect man but now I am good but something is missing.
I feel very angry that after all I did, women think that my height is not a big drawback but still something not enough to put me at the same dating league with much more average looking men compared to me with less muscles and a worse face but with 5-10 cm more height.

It is ridiculous but now, more than ever, I truly believe that if you are tall and just average in all other aspects you have much more chances than a good looking and muscular but a little beyond average height man like me.
If you are short, then you have to be very lucky to have a good looking and normal in every aspect gf. I was that lucky before LL but I couldn't see it. Now, I see the truth and, because I believe that true men make their own luck, I give my best self on dating and improve myself. But height is keep mentioned from a lot of girls and as I said, even my last gf who im the begining kept telling me how good I was, after some time she kept tolding me some jokes about my height although I never talked about that or showed any sign of height complex.
It is insane that many women don't think that a good looking man with a relatively good job, muscles more than the 90% of other men and a lot of interests is not enough for them compared to an average in everything else but tall man.
But that's the way it is and that's why I think that women are much more superficial than men.
So you could accept that and try to find a girl that doesn't care about all these (rare but it exist) or you do LL and play with your rules.
I already chose the second and I seriously think about a second LL in my femurs when I have the money (about 2 years from now) for a good doctor with internal devixes to reach a solid 5.11 and never have any problem with height again.

Tibike I always kept my country a secret but is is a country in south Europe where average height for men is 1.78 and for younger ages like mine is about 1.80.
But after all it doesn't matter where I come from because everywhere in the west societies, heights less than 5.10 for men causes problems in dating and especially if you are under 5.8 things become very hard.
I don't say that you don't have choices at my height but I still think that if a lot of women keep commenting about your height in a not positive way, then your height is still a drawback. Maybe not something that you can't get away with but for me, I don't want anything to hold me down, especially something that I tried very hard to change and many men have for granted and have so many benefits from it because they were just lucky to be born tall.

Anyway, 5.8-9 is a respectable height and I'm sure it will change many short peoples lives when they reach it.
But for me, things get real when you hit 5.11 or a little beyond and I hope in less than 2 years to be there. Until then, I'll do my best to make my life better and more interesting everyday.  Questions for people who have done LL

5.65 -> 5.85 isn't that big of a change honestly. I mean yes now he's dating a 5'5 girl which probably would've had 0 chance of happening before.

The ideal, very best, and I think most life changing procedure overall would be 5'5 -> 5'10. Just two completely different leagues.

But I think this is all very relative and anecdotal lol. Imagine you get LL and then fall into depression afterwards for unrelated reasons like family death. Or imagine you get LL and then meet a girl who was taller than your starting height. Some people will say this surgery changed their lives, others will say it barely had any effect.
