Second 2021 (LON tibia) 20k + 2k
taking into account flights, medicines and other related expenses, I think less than 45k, but now it will be a little more expensive.
22k is very affordable. This surgery has always been conundrum to me. I want to get LL because I feel held back, incomplete and less confident because of my height. Being short has always made me feel like im a just a cheap copy of who I could really be if I felt confident with myself. LL has always been quoted as the cost of a house in public culture, which is about right given precice’s 70-100k cost.
This always felt wrong to me because I want to get this surgery to not even tackle with the “be confident in your height” mindset. I want to get this surgery to be “reborn” as a better self, who has confidence naturally. Because going from short to tall, that confidence going from “i know im small but I have to act big” to “i know im fking big now stfu” really will change life from hard to easy mode. But for me to have saved up 100k, I must have already done well in life, meaning I have already gone through the difficulties of life, suffering and thriving even while being short. At that point why will I even want LL?
Thankfully I am finding these competent and affordable surgeons that I can get without having already “made it”.
How I recovered after two surgeries
How long was your recovery on each limb? Was it 2 years each or was it earlier?

Depends on what you mean.
I could walk without crutches in a couple of weeks.
Going down stairs without issues - in about 1–2 months.
Riding a bicycle - after 3–4 months.
Riding a motorcycle - after six months. That’s roughly how long full consolidation took.
I know it might sound weird, you can choose if you wanna answer this. My biggest concern is sex and sex after lenghtening. Since now I'm really flexible and fluid durning sex, I can go really fast etc. I know I lose some athleticism after lenghtening but my question is do you perform sex the same as you did or you feel more stiff and slow on positions like doggy where you choose the rythm and speed?

Nothing changed, my mobility stayed the same (and even improved). 
Do you walk comfortably now like before?
If I did around 2-3 inches do you think I could return to my previous athleticism or comfort?

As I mentioned earlier, I had x-legs and constant knee pain, but now I can walk dozens of kilometers without any pain.
All my strength numbers in the gym have improved compared to before the surgery, but that’s because I’ve been putting more time into training.
Trust me, if you have problems with your legs or knee, you won’t be able to ride enduro for hours - it always requires active leg control and constant use of all leg muscles.

Here on the forum, many people worry before surgery that they won’t be able to run fast again or keep the same strength levels.
Let’s be honest - 99% of people here aren’t olympic champions, and for most “strength levels” mean a walk in the park or riding a bike.
So unless you’re an olympic athlete, you won’t lose anything. Over time, your mobility will return to its previous level.
It’s just like growth in children- they don’t get weaker as they grow.
But if you go against your body, pushing every millimeter through pain and torn nerves/muscles/vessels, you’ll most likely injure yourself and will have a long recovery.
So don’t worry - if you stick to common sense, your mobility and strength will recover quickly.
Yeah, you got great results. Congrats!
Wow man you body looks like a monster😂
