Anyone who has had lengthening, are you glad you did it? Or do you regret it? Why? I would love to have just a short answer, one way or the other, from as many people who have had procedures as possible. I'm hoping I might learn of pros and cons that I hadn't thought of. Are you satisfied with the lengthening you obtained?
8 Cms femurs gained here, only regret is not doing it sooner. but super glad I went through with it.
wow 8cms is quite a lot. Do you have any problems? aches, knee pain, can you run, do sports, lift weights?
I thought 6-7cm is kinda the safe zone on femur. How much have you paid for surgery and how long has it taken to
return back to work? Havee you stayed in a hotel for the whole process or consolidated at home?

My exact same sentiment. One of the best decisions of my life. Cured me of height dysphoria and gave me the freedom to live the life I've always wanted!

Couldn't have said it better Alchemist. Thumbs up
Best decision I ever made. I wish they had come up with the Stryde technology back when I was 17. I have yet to see one negative result related to Stryde performed by Paley, Rozbruch, or Mahboubian.
Out of all the stories I read, never heard anyone say they regretted the surgery (unless they were crippled by it due to mal practice). Can't wait to get my surgery next summer. If all goes well I'l be going from below average height to above average. I'm sure I would concur with others here and probably think to myself best life decision I ever made and just wish I got it done sooner.
Even though I didn't get it done for solely for stature, I often get asked if I regret spending over a year going through the rigorous therapy and rebuilding my muscle mass etc. And every time I agree with everyone here...best decision of my life and should done it sooner. Although the PRECICE had just gotten released so timing was just right I guess 
No regret. Best thing I did in my life.
As everyone said, my only regret is not doing it earlier.
Glad at first with more and more regrets over time.
For a young man trying to get a position in society, the appeal is there of course. But once one's position is reasonably fixed, and all that's left are potential problems that might develop, the appeal goes away. My tight right Achilles, the tendonitis in both my knees: when will these go from minor annoyances to life-changing problems? Lots of elderly people who never had invasive, drastic leg surgery have problems walking. How much earlier is that going to happen to me, and what did I get for it? I slightly improved some people's opinion of me; most of whom I'd rather not be around anyway and increasingly am able to avoid because of technology.
