Hi everyone here on LL Forum,
If you have had this surgery and have been going about throughout your daily life, how has it been for you? How has it changed your life for the better? What are the things you lost from doing this procedure? Any loss of athleticism and nagging injuries? Has your social life gotten better? Have you moved up in your career? Was the cost worth it for you?
Changed my life, for sure. 167-171
Better: Social situations aren't nearly as awkward. I'm picking up women much easier, for the first time in 15 years of adulting I've had a rotation. Massive MASSIVE ego boost and confidence boost, I never was unconfident before but now I get away with it.
Worse: Partner left me as I became an egoistic , I have very strange pains in my ankles sometimes, but nothing drastic. My running is funny but not painful. Just a but awkward. Everyone noticed, especially my family, was very hard to hide. Even friends who hadn't seen me in 10 years.
Height really isn't everything women look for in a partner, but holy does it make a massive difference. But don't let it get to your head. It's a lot like steroids the attention and situations surely will improve but don't become a prick because of it.

What did you tell your friends when they asked? You didn't lengthen too much so I'm surprised friends who hadn't seen you in 10 years noticed.

In your diary, you said your original height is 165. Then changed to 167?

I recall seeing another post in that original diary that said he measured himself wrong at first so he was taller than he expected
Or maybe he actually went from 5'5" to 5'7".
That's probably it and it's good anecdote cuz it seems like his confidence shot up like a boner. Good for me then cuz it'll show even if I make it to 5'7.5 it'll still be life changing
it's strange - u can psychologically actually lose ur original and genuine niceness to some degree - why people liked you in the furst place, humour, fun, humility & the beautuful uniqueness of a person's character- u have to be careful that getting taller doesn't make u feel invincible - like ur the king and can do anything - that is not attractive to others - it can change your psyche in that way - strange but u are altering you in different ways..

Very true. Just like money, power, or anything really. Things go to your head a little too much. I did actually feel invincible with all the extra attention I was getting and actually it fked things up with a lot of people because of it. I'm in a small community, and I started getting a lot more attention that I've never really had before, and living like FOMO I jumped on the opportunities just thinking with the wrong brain. I acted like a fking jerk when I've always been incredibly nice.
Lots of lessons. Anyways yes with my height I measured wrong before, I used to go off of my driver's license but it was actually wrong. Doesn't matter. The jump up was really incredibly noticible in that range. Standing next to friends I remember were the same height. It was drastic, and actually wish I did more.
Life is funny like that, haha.

I just laughed it off. Maybe you shrunk. Or also I've also been working out. At the same time of doing the surgery I made sure to train my shoulders a lot so I was actually training a lot.
But yeah, a lot a LOT of people noticed. I had a 10 year reunion with some friends bcause I was gone from Canada, and some friends immediately said "you frigging grew, what the hell?"
Same with family members. Very hard to convince them I just worked out a lot. But as far as I know they don't know about it.
