I personally think your wife doesn't need to know. I honestly don't see how it would be beneficial to anyone at all. Not to sound like a misogynist here ,but c'mon we all know women are just as shallow as men when it comes to physical attributes.
Yeah I get your point I think the short genes would become watered down afterwards since you're having children with a girl of above average height there will be a regression towards the mean, rather than it being compounded from one generation to the next as typically happens with short people.
I think if your child's height is predicted to fall significantly below average then the best course of action would be to seek hormone therapy. Armoratse inhibitors seem to be effective and postpone puberty so there's still hope.In addition there's always HGH. I imagine many here are somewhat resentful at their parents for not seeking help lol.
But yeah for the extremely short guys here ,those at 5ft 3 and less, having children or not is something they'll seriously need to consider carefully.
ok i respect ur opinion. how would u explain to ur wife if she found out about ur past LL? can u write this in a better way?
"look honey, our childrens height is unpredictable anyway so i may not be responsible for it after all. also my new height is permanent and i will always be taller than u. i didnt tell u about LL before our wedding because u didnt ask. i always thought it was about what is on the inside and not physical attributes.
i would have married u even if u were 5foot2. errr scratch that. so yeah why is it a big deal honey?"
I intend to tell no one whatsoever so there's no way anyone can find out. Why? Because I know literally no one will be accepting of it. A wife wouldn't be any different.
People here need to realise that you'll be living a lie for the rest of your life post surgery,the old you will die.
Do people genuinely believe it's what's on the inside the counts post puberty? If that were the case our best friends would be our life long partners.
In reality it's a combination of looks ,personality and social status. You can't isolate attraction to one attribute .Telling people is at your own discretion however,but I'd discourage it.

yes really no one can find out. but u have to know that some people know about this. ur surgeon, every nurse who treated u, the hospital staff, some LL friends u hung out with in the hotel, ur local radiologist who does ur x-rays, fitbone/precice company. and many people can see u limping and also slightly taller and they may have wondered but been too polite to ask u. if u cross someone's height or become taller than someone or same height as someone they will know for sure.
imagine u meet some old friends with ur new wife and many of them ask, hey "werent u shorter than me?"

finally an honest reply. this type of opinions i wanted to gather in this thread. i mark this in bold from ur reply.

I was with her for 4 years so I told her obviously but now that i'm not with her anymore, there's always a chance she can use it against me which is pretty damn embarrassing.
So yeah, unless you're married then don't tell your friends or gf because let's be real, the chances of you having a friend for life are like 0.1% when you're not friends anymore, it's the first thing anyone would use against you.
'Oh you know my ex/friend he went and got his legs lengthened for $50 000+'
Growtow, I sent you a PM , plz check and advise by PM, thanks.
i dont know why all LL veterans are shy to talk abt this. it surprising most people are holding LL secret from a future wife. think about it, most guys get LL for girls unless already married. no matter what bs people write here ("i am doing it for myself, for my soul"), deep inside it is for girls.
Lol not one veteran write about this looks like everyone is taking this secret to their grave. 
rip ethics
My wife helped me get through the entire process, actually.
Yes she uses it against me in arguments.
So, you're an idiot. Best tell no one.
Quote from: fodawupa on July 05, 2019, 06:53:45 PMshould u tell friends and family?
not necessary, if u used ur own money and energy.. why should they know?
Im a vet and I think you're overthinking here.
If I were you I would start with babysteps such as getting rid of that virginity of yours.
Once you get your first gf, maybe think of the questions you mention.
Good luck boyo ! 
Why do ethics matter to us? Most of the people undergoing the surgery aren't doctors.
In the worst case scenario this surgery is only going to damage the patient and not others.
With this in mind, is being selfish ethically wrong or should we wallow in self pity and dysphoria for the rest of our lives due to some other person's ethical standards?To many the latter would be ethically wrong, so there's a contradiction.
You seem to be implying that your wife wouldn't be decietful in her own appearance ,despite may women using makeup,pull-up bras,etc. You could argue that is also ethically wrong ,but you can't because that's sexist apparently.
I can assure you as well as a short male ,this surgery isn't entirely about women. Society tells short men that they must act a certain way and any attempts to improve themselves are immediately negated by saying :'Oh he's compensating'.
Finally ,I understand that many here would mock others for using this surgery to get girls ,but you have to understand women are extremely shallow when it comes to a man's physical appearance ,contrary to popular belief, and height is a huge factor in a man's attractiveness (although face>height.Hint ,hint those at 5 7' and above on this forum).
I've honestly never understood society for mocking men that seek companionship ,it's biologically instinctive.The fact that many men have to undergo this surgery just to increase their chances of finding a partner really highlights how tacitly judgemental society is towards men.
