Quote from: las vegas baby on July 05, 2021, 06:06:23 PMthats some sane advice. these days in turkey everyones doing 12 cm lol
do you really feel comfortable playing football after this? Ive never seen a short guy playing football. you must be really really fast if you play with giants. what was your starting height? I suggest you dont play it lol atleast for some time to come.
Do you have any opinions on how to hide this from others? I told my then gf about my plans stupidly but afterwards people on this forum convinced me that its not a good idea. but even now I dont know how to hide it from everyone including the girl I marry. is 5.5 cm something you can just ignore like it never happened and no one will bother you about?
thanks
Maybe you are confusing football and American football. In football, many players are shorter than average. Some of the best players ever are below average.

No. You will be absent for 2 months after surgery doing lengthening, and at least 2-3 months recovering.
Total time is 4-5 months - can you disappear for that long?

You could have disappeared for that long during the pandemic with no one noticing

football = soccer in USA.
Only people who knows about this surgery is the surgeon team and my PT. I dont intend to tell anyone, I dont think you should. Especially friends, they can use it against you in future and if rumour spread it may get so bad you have to change town and start over again. Thats not ideal.
With Stryde I could walk awkwardly after 1 week so I could tell them different story and they would accept it. But with Precice and non-weight bearing, you may need a bigger story
its not possible to hide it because you will walk strange for few months. If you can disappear and come back after say 4-5 months then maybe.

you did before the pandemic and managed to tell no one. thats insane. well done.
Do you feel some sense of anxiety that somehow people might find out? I had first thought to do it with every one around me supporting me before but after reading peoples comments on articles on dailymail and other such media websites I think no one will understand. its better to keep it secret as much as possible. So I have that extra anxiety that someone might eventually know.
if I do at Paleys and stay in that hotel, I will meet other patients for sure. if I do it at Mahboubians or Debiparshads I should wear a hoodie, shades and a mask during consults and beg them to not put anything on social media.
there are medical privacy laws but you cant stop people from just carelessly saying something.
sometimes I think it would be great if there was some other diagnosis like deformed legs so that you can tell everyone you got that fixed and not "hide" anything. get sympathy AND height doctors should correct some alignment just for the heck of it and write that off as the main procedure officially lol

hi,
all valid concerns you have.
I have to admit that by undergoing LL I can never be a politician, leader or anything with media presence. I risk getting "exposed" by some .
There are few things that can go wrong:
- the computer system at these hospitals may get hacked and patient data leaked in future
- someone in the surgeon team may recognize me if I were to appear in media/ TV and tell their friend, then they tell theirs and so on
- LL may get more publicity in future. Maybe a famous celebrity undergoes it publicly and the normal people that I know may think back to how I walked and recognize the pattern.

your 100% right.
looking back, would you rather
a) do this procedure and eventually people (your wife who you hid it from, your friends, your family, your colleagues, etc) find out you did it
or
b) never do this procedure and be short
Im really upset that stryde got withdrawn. if it was there, I was hoping the general public would eventualy learn that its not a big deal to do this, but I dont think thatll happen in our youths.

bro I thought about this and just want to advice you to not hold yourself back from becoming successful or famous if want to. dont associate your identity to just this procedure. life is bigger than this. ok, even if you become famous and some people find out, they should think this procedure can be done by successful people. like if you heard that some famous social worker in your country did this, then it would vindicate the surgery a little rather than indict the social worker. you have used your money and time to improve yourself. youve not caused harm to anyone after all.
we all have to start thinking of how we can shape the world instead of always being defensive.

100% - preach brother. This is a stepping stone in improving our lives. Let's live life large and in charge!
For the sake of the forum being clean/tidy, let's stay on topic please I will vanish now
