When are you too old for CLL?

Edit Post

I wanted to hear from other members on this.

Mainly these two questions:

• When are you too old for the benefits of CLL (i.e. getting taller), so much that CLL may not be something to consider anymore, in your opinion?
• When do you start being too old to undergo CLL, in your layman's opinion, given that risks such as nonunion are heavily associated with, and common in, old age?

Good point about remarrying in your 40s. That's the best argument I've seen yet for still getting CLL later in life. You certainly don't need LL for it, but it could help.

I don't think I'll be able to do LL before much later in life, at which point I was wondering if I'd even really get anything out of it other than not having to deal with height neurosis anymore (but at the cost of developing everyday pains and the money, it might not be worth it). You benefit the most by being taller when you're younger rather than older.

As for remarrying at 40s a key benefit of 'LL, lol.

I didn't say it was a "key benefit". If you're happily married and already older in age, chances are you'll not care that much about doing LL. You benefit almost nothing from it (while risking a lot) unless it cures your height neurosis, but I don't think older, married men have height neurosis in the same intensity as younger people in these forums. Most will probably just think "it sucks being short" and move on. However, marriages can break, and obviously not being short makes it easier to find someone else by then. The breakup itself could possibly also make your height neurosis flare up again, so having gotten LL could help prevent that too. To get LL or not is a personal choice, and it could be as you said:

QuoteWouldn't it be more worth it as you had achieved all your other dreams and could dedicate yourself to removing this last obstacle to your happiness? Older people also have no need to prove themselves athletically or need to feel as they have to win a street fight (whatever the hell that may mean) so they can accept the loss of athletic ability more readily.

 
I'm not trying to judge anyone here. Everyone does whatever they want with their lives. However, I'm trying to look at the benefits vs cons of going through such an extreme procedure later in life.
