Sorry for this long questionnaire type thing. These are my only concerns about the surgery and it would mean the world to me if you guys could answer them with a little bit of detail.
- For how long can you run without feeling any pain?
- Can you walk a full day without feeling pain?
- Do you avoid looking in mirrors while nked (or clothed) because you're unhappy with your proportions?
- If you were being chased by a serial killer or running after your dog sprinting through traffic, would you be able to make it?
- Do you feel like you could go hiking or biking?
- How long ago did you get LL? Are your frames out?
- How long did you lengthen, and in which segment?
- If you do feel pain, how much, and would you say that it has even slightly reduced your quality of life & "outgoing'ness" ?
- Has anyone commented on your proportions? Sitting height? Anything? Did it bother you at all? Or do you just brush off matters like this because overall, as a net, being taller is worth the trade off?
- Does walking feel natural and fluid? How about running? Can you watch videos of yourself and see that you did LL? Do you have any anxiety about seeing videos, or photos, of yourself or having them shared?
- Did LL change the way people treat you? Family, friends?
- How do you feel when you wake up in the morning (emotionally and physically)?
Wow thanks guys. Your replies made my day. Can't wait to get this over with. Yeah I imagine 5'5 to 5'8 would be a huge difference, because 5'5 is a height where the first thing people notice when they see you is how small you are. But at 5'8 no one will really care, their mind doesn't even bring attention to it.
^ Haha, damn that sucks sorry bro. I'm 5'4.5 and only once has one of my girlfriends has ever told me she wished I was a little bit taller. But I guess it's probably because I'm so short that it's probably something that obviously bothers me. Maybe they're more playful around 5'8 since it's "short" but not such a big deal?
Honestly, I understand that I'll still have issues dating and I know that 6'+ guys will forever live dating, to some extent, life, on a much easier mode, but at least it won't be a part of my IDENTITY. When you're shorter than 5'6 your height is something that a lot of people won't get over and it kind of clouds your entire identity. I just don't want people to look at me and only see my height.

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.
