$100K Loan? Is it worth it?

Edit Post

Hi LL Fam,

I am 27yr male making just about $90k/yr. I am currently 5'5 tall & suffered from Height Dysphoria all my life...Even though I am extrovert and have a decent social life--I feel like I haven't been able to live my life to the fullest due to this complex of mine..I am scared to take out my elevated shoes/heels in front of my friends...avoid going to beach/pool parties just because of inferiority complex..I truly feel gaining those 3 inches would greatly improve my confidence and mental well being.

I have been working in the same company for 3 yrs but have $0 in savings since I have been pretty bad with spending money...I am thinking of getting LL Surgery early next year & thinking of taking out a loan for this surgery..I just wanted to get advice from you all to see if taking a loan for $100k is worth for this surgery?

For me personally, being mentally happy means a lot more than driving an expensive car or living in a big house..I am seriously contemplating to take out a loan sometime next year...

Could anyone share their personal story similar to mine who maybe lookout loan for this surgery....I really don't want start saving up now & wait until I turn 30 to get this surgery... I would really appreciate all of your thoughts on this..

And what if you do get the loan and keep blowing your money and not pay it off? lol

I think It'd would benefit you more learning how to save up in the long run than taking on the loan... take the year or two to save for the surgery if you really want it, the job is not guaranteed after you take the loan, you can sink yourself in an unfortunate situation by doing so, specially noting that you make 90k a year and don't have savings.

I'd save up for a bit and then do LON tibia lengthening with Dr Parihar while staying in one of Mumbai's best hotels. Still only cost 1/3 of the price of going with a US doctor and getting amazing accommodations.

Doctor Parihar had butterfly fracture at osteotomy site of tibia, also osteotomy sites of femurs were very high up
I don’t think he is that good

I mean he has the best rep for bone docs in India and Paley himself says he's good, on top of me having a great result with him 🤗

What did doctor Parihar say about the compartment syndrome you had after surgery?

He got chronic exertional compartment syndrome. The "chronic" part is very important. It is not dangerous like acute compartment syndrome.

How often that chronic compartment syndrome occurs post CLL?
