TomD raised this question in my head and it's a totally different discussion than what to tell your friends/co-workers.

Could you tell your friends the truth? LL-procedure is not like having a nose job or breast implant.
To admit you went through all of this and even risking your life for some cm shows how low self esteem and shallow you are. You're admitting that you are short and feel bad about it. It's like cheating the natural course of life some people say(Swedish website with LL-discussion).

Most of the people know about LL in the back of their heads(even my father knew about this) but they just don't understand it. That's why they will talk behind your back, some will think you're a freak, maybe some will think you're brave I don't know but the general conception is that you have to be out of your mind doing such a thing.

I will never admit that I did it, even if someone found proof.

I will come up with a lie for my femurs as well. Even if I have to tell them I did LL on femurs in Sweden bc they messed up my legs in India.

But I hate to lie. Too much to keep track of and I slipped once when a friend asked why I was hurt in both of my legs when it was only one I broke. Then I instantly found out a new lie..... That sucks.

I told my father the truth but I don't want my brother to know - not yet though.

We shouldn't be ashamed for doing this but I hope everyone knows how the society works today!
