The young ones on here who weren't born to wealthy parents or making 7 figures off modeling would all like to understand the options and HEAR the experiences of others who have funded these expensive procedures with all forms of legal tender. For the adults on here to ignore this is not paying it forward. I'm sure that many of you 20 year olds would like to know what you 40 year olds did to get the ball in motion.
Not all of us are going to want to wait 8 years saving for this just to have nothing. I am planning on saving half and getting a loan for the rest. Hell I will have this done before 30 if im paying it off till im 50. At least my mental state will improve.
Start paying it forward people. The only person who did is the OVERRIDEYOURGENETICS guy who goes cold on many people
Financing Options - Stop avoiding this people
Hello dreamingtall,
My take on financing CLL differs from yours slightly. I don't believe getting into dept to pay for the surgery is advisable, the reason I say this is because this leads to a mindset that blames your height for all your problems (dating, money). For me I used my height dysmorphia as a driving force to achieve everything I want in life, obviously my height always plays on my mind but I will not allow it to define me.
As I read the diaries on this forum it's pretty clear to see us CLL's fall into one of two groups, the first being the aforementioned group that see height as the limiting factor in everything they do. The second being the group that do not let the height define them even though it plays on their minds everyday (InFullStryde is a great example of this), what you will find about this group is that generally they are the ones who can afford the surgery as they have not been limited by dysmorphia.
I believe being in this second group of people means you are more likely to see CLL as a success as it's not a case of these people looking for this surgery to transform their entire life, just a small aspect of it.
To conclude I do understand the desire to have the surgery as soon as possible as it seems to be linked to a faster recovery time, but not letting your height define you and working hard to obtain the money to pay for this surgery is a great acid test in understanding just how badly do you want it. If you really want it work for it.
Thanks
RG
My experience was that I took out big, high-interest loans to pay for LL. I spent several years making payments and paid down about half of the debt. Then I lost my job and declared bankruptcy.

Have you already done CLL and know this to be true based on your experience or are you pulling an assumption out of your aśš? Truth is you don't know and you should doubt it, even if you want to be positive you better have prepared for if the situation didn't go as you would have thought.

TS is essentially asking what options do people have with CLL if they don't have enough money and goes on to look for others to agree with him that getting a loan is a good idea. Oh, and he wants you and everyone else on this board to push the idea of getting a loan.
How much did you take out?

How Much did you take out in loans? Are you still wrecked in life because of this... i just think its important to understand the impact in its entirety

I just think it's healthy for all options to be thoroughly provided to those who are looking to achieve the surgery
has anyone thought that if you loose your job or some complications happen and you wont be able to get back to work as quickly as you planned? This is not a surgery you do by borrowing or mortgaging your house.
I appreciate the sentiment behind OP's post, which was probably to help/motivate and provide another option but IMO loaning huge amounts of money to do such a high risk surgery is a very BAD idea.
