Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on September 24, 2016, 04:19:42 PMFew weeks ago we had a guy claiming that 6' is average height in Canberra, now this.....

Screw that, im not starting this topic again.
I understand your point, however, if a 180cm tall guy feels the need to be taller to the point of breaking his legs, maybe most of the his social environment is definitely around 190cm. Imagine the average height once we hit 2030...

Alex, at your height I'd rather try not to damage too much your proportions. I feel like 8cm in 1 segment alone is too much. Is it possible for you to share your sitting height and wingspan?

Well you have a great height,but i really cant blame you.I know it sucks to feel short around your family.How tall are your parents?And siblings if you have?
And you said that most of your friends are very tall.Where are you from?(i understand if you dont want to say it.)
Good luck on your LL journey.

@YourSpaceBoyfriend
I really got your point. Feel free to think about it, what you want. But noone should be jugded for anything, because you never know much about the person's situation. Everyone has his own reason. But I needn't to talk about MY reasons. I do it just for my own. And I want to share my experiences with everyone, who likes to now more about it.

@NoRegrets
That's why I "just" want a few cm. Only have this one photoshopped pic. Sitting hight is very tall ("Sitting-Giant"). But dont know the exactly cm. 
Wingspan is 186cm.

@Peaceout
Mother 165 cm, Father 198 cm, brother around 2m.
I'm from Germany. But I wont tell, where I'm exactly from, sorry

Short update:

Yesterday:
Arrived in Neunkirchen
Talking again about all the risks.

Everybody here is very kind and nice. You get what you want.
Rooms are very nice and comfortable.
Food is VERY good, but definitly too much  Cheesy

The staff told me, that I wont need any money here, because everything is included. That's right. Food, drinks, medicine, physio.. etc.
If you have any needs, you just have to ask.
You can always call Dr. Betz or his assistent.

Today:
Had a talk with the anesthesist. They tested my blood. Typical surgery preparation things.
I talked to a patient, who already had his surgery. Asked about pain. He is very happy.
He got painkillers, is doing many exercises, physio and is walking a lot (With crutches).
So I'm very excited and looking forward to tomorrow's surgery.

Greets
Alex

One surgery enough. Don't get 2 just because a greedy doctor recommends it. 190 is too much. A doctor who accepts this... I have no words. Good luck
