Booked stryde femurs next month. Cant sleep properly at night, getting bad lucid dreams, waking up sweaty and chilly in the morning. Almost wrote a draft email asking my surgeon to cancel my surgery booking. God this is going to be difficult. Just want the month to pass. I wish I didnt have to wait one month for this surgery.
Brother,
breathe,
you will be fine.
You are about to embark on an exciting journey, sure pain is along the way, but glory awaits at the end.
Focus on that my friend 
ps: Stryde is the safest out there, wish I could do it, but I'm broke...
enjoy your last month with full athletics 
I definitely know the feeling of anticipation for the surgery date, except mine was 2 months ahead lol, when it started getting close to the date I'd get a little nervous and butterflies on my stomach just thinking about what was coming up ahead, but trust me when I say it's not that bad bro, you'll be in some discomfort yeah but nothing a man can't handle, specially with the reward that comes with it. Think of it as next month you're getting injured and you're going to recover from an injury, I'm sure you're done so many times before.
may I ask who did you book surgery with?
thanks guys for the support. I keep changing from excitement to horrifying fear. today I wore flip flops and went out and it made me feel very good about my decision to get this surgery. i visited to one of the universities near me and seeing young kids much taller than me made me realise why i am doing this.
thanks movie, waiting 2 months must have been hell man.
this thing is scaring me so much that sometimes I start feeling i am not really short lol. i noticed someone shorter than me and thought "oh that guy seems happy. he is not doing LL. do I really need it?" I saw someone on a wheelchair in the flight the other day and thought "oh there are people who would kill just to be healthy and walk around and here I am doing this". then I saw this short dude with a really attractive wife and I thought "oh man i should have just committed to a relationship and not pursued this surgery".
what happens next is a mystery lol. I'd rather not mention my doctor until i go through with this. i might feel quite embarassed of myself if this becomes a flopshow

LL really makes you humble, huh? I guess even if it doesn't do any other good, it at least gives you that.
Take your time and have another good thought if you really want this. If you have decided to go for this surgery, and it was the result of a very long thought process - and I'm talking years of pondering here - chances are it was the most reasonable, logical decision for you at this time of your life. Just make sure to always listen to your doctor and other experts (physiotherapists, your doctors at home if you do check-ups), take the right meds and nutrition after surgery and try to forgive yourself if you feel pain or discomfort and temporarily regret your choice. If the lengthening and recovery period, or the current time, feel to overwhelming, consult a therapist.
May I ask with what starting height you're going into this procedure?
Hi,
it’s totally normal to have some doubts, but just think about the amazing things after getting through this surgery. I’m a girl, every time I try on my high heels (over 10cm), I promise you the view is completely different 
It’s painful but worth it!
And like mentioned Stryde is the best nail we have out there, with the right PT you are going to walk normally again within one year! It’s not a very long time
Your nervousness might go away with a little reverse psychology. Imagine someone else told you that you weren't allowed to get the surgery. 
Happened to me and I was eager as could be to get into that operating room.

who told you you weren't allowed for surgery? it cant be someone who simply gives an opinion but should be someone who actually stops you if you want reverse psychology to work.
actually I remember around 6 months ago I didnt have enough money and due to some family issues i couldn't get LL and I was super angry back then and thought "I will do it asap". but now the stage is set and I am all shaky
TallerVL, IwannaBeTaller,
I dont think LL has made be humble. i think its survival tendencies making me find reasons to not do it. making contact with my surgeon and committing surgery was also super hard. paying surgery deposit was also super hard. i opened my bank login and closed it and did this several times before sending it.
i am around 5'5 so yes i am objectively short. I have thought about LL for extremely long. thinking more is pointless. i have to do it or not do it now.
