Either way, we're screwed, we either take the risk of getting complications later on and probably not being able to do certain things we used to or live a depressed life envying taller men and putting up with the bullxit from society and the dating prejudice.
Quote from: Sm1997 on September 20, 2018, 06:51:34 PMHello everyone, I really need your help so please help me if you can. I’m 21 years old and I’m 5’9 and I would love to be 6’2 and after some researching I came into the limb lengthening surgery but I read some horror things like the bones not growing up properly after the surgery and even damaging the nerves and losing the legs forever. I understand these are risks involved with the surgery but how much is true? What is your experience with this surgery, if you had it done? And what are the possibilities (how much out of 10) to end up having long term side effects from this surgery?
21 years old and 5’9” wanting to do this surgery? First maximize yourself in every aspect of your life and then see if height is really the only thing setting you back. You dont want to jump into such an invasive surgery and go through all the pain and suffering only to find out that extra height didnt change a thing. Long term side effects are a forsure thing especially if you lengthen more than 5-6cm per segment. Anybody that says other wise is a fool and very delusional. Soft tissue and nerves can only stretch so much. I did 4cm in tibia and 5cm in femur cross lateral. First segment i came out great! I was walking unassisted 5 months post surgery. 2nd segment didnt go too well. I was left with drop foot on the left foot due to nerve damage most likely caused by lengthening too much. Im 3 months post surgery and walking unassisted but i have to wear a special AFO brace to keep my foot from dragging.

How would you be able to lie down on the surgery table if you think of your surgeon behind his mask a member of "no doctor in the world will want u to not get sick, unless they r not true to their profession". You might end up cancelling the surgery last minute and then again thinking about it for years.
If you stay on this site, you will neither get to courage to do LL nor have the courage to live life without LL. You will be stuck in a state of limbo. LL is for optimistic people. Try this exercise of never opening this website for a month. You might slow let go of the idea of LL.
why shouldn't I? I shouldnt do this surgery because i base my opnions on solid facts? im going into this surgery acknowledging those brute facts. why does everything need to be sugar coated and mixed with false? why not just the truth. going into it accepting that i could die aswell (due to embolism). im not a quitter mb u r the way u think. If u see a lion running towards u, u can just close ur eyes to calm urself but that wont stop the beast tho.
u got so sentimental for some reason so i had to ask are u a woman by any chance planing the surgery?

fact is if you do unilateral procedure on one section at a time (1 tibia, then other tibia in a different surgery) the risk of embolism would be so low that it is negligible. But I see most people value time>making risk of death from embolism negligible, which makes no sense to me.

So you know you will get life long complications, you have seen 2 patients one who had both his knees replaced, another one who is surrounded by all these "leg issues" and you still want to get LL? It just doesn't make sense. You think you will be more attractive 3 inches taller but with a cane in the hand?
And no, I'm not a woman. Not sure why that matters.

as i mentioned they went beyond the safe limit. also bad luck. maybe i'l face lesser and minor complications hopefully. i'l gamble.
its like saying dont jump from the building it will hurt excruciatingly for a few seconds but if u have to suicide u must.
the way i perceived u in ur post reminded me of women. less reliant on facts and more emotional and sentimental. but nvm matterz not anyway.
You are being emotional. You claim to know that doctors are cold hearted money making machines and the life long complications of LL are guaranteed. You still want to do LL because your sentimental side kicks in and you can't accept being short 
And you are comparing LL to suicide. Way to go! I wish good luck with your LL, recovery, meeting women and life ahead

note: (i do feel ur a woman and my last comment somehow got u butthurt for some unknown godforsaken womanish reason and its hilariously amusing to me) thats all.
if ur not then read on.
do u even read wat u say. its all bull****. eye opener. ur a bull****er prob.
"You are being emotional. You claim to know that doctors are cold hearted money making machines"
U think using adhominems will make ur arguement valid somehow.where was i ever emotional. i never said cold-hearted. i said they want money. If ur IQ is so below the sub-standard level i shouldn't even be explaining this, but wth.
" You still want to do LL because your sentimental side kicks in and you can't accept being short "
Are u so stupid so as to relate everything to sentiment? tell me not. Height has its advantages in a competitive society. Its all calculations and estimations and being short has its cons. survival of the fittest. pure and simple.
and 3 emoji's really expressive. gud
Chill out bro. Do LL and be happy 
Knee replacement technology is advancing very rapidly, you're covered
