I have decided to call it off

Edit Post

The fear is too big. Since the booking of the surgery I had sleepness nights with alot of anxieity. It's not worth the risks in my height. My life was good till now and it will be afterwards. Dont want to risk my life in order to fulfil a dream which might be false. A dream which was created by the internet which had nothing to do with real life.
  I have lived life to it's fullest with my 5'7 (171cm) till now, and there is no reason I wouldnt be able to continue to do so.

 As I told you before I have spoken with Israeli docs. There is a reason why this procedure is forbidden in Israel to people of my height. Again, the risks are too big. When I calculate risk/gain ratio, it's simply not worth it.

Speaking from experience, 5'7 is not very short at all.

Good luck man! (now block the forum on your devices!)

I'm glad you recognize how much part the internet had in all of this, lots of other guys here need to realize that too.

Now go drink, smoke, f*ck, and be merry!

From a fellow 5'7 guy, greatest respect for your decision if you have weighted the pros and cons (and nothing makes me think you haven't). I'm a bit curious about what the Israeli docs told you. I mean, we all know that most doctors are against cosmetic LL, but you said "dont want to risk my life in order to fulfil a dream..." Did they tell you about any death related to this surgery?

Congratulation! This is certainly the best option. Accept your height and be happy!

By life I meant becoming crippled or not walking normally. I meant risking the life I have now

Edit Post

nice, I hope thos who are 170 cm and above realize they are not short

Edit Post

Very few if any become crippled, but  recovery time to just walk nornally can be years. it's  just not worth it

I know this is very scary..I would probably freak out too.But you have the oppurtunity to do it and move on.If you cancel it now it will be somewhere in your mind for many years probably.(im not saying you cant live a life without thinking about your height,of course you can.But this is very hard to accomplish,atleast it is hard for me.)
Im not saying do it no matter what.
Im just trying to say think again and again before canceling.

Catagni just answered me about the cancellation: "Ok, you made the right decision. You can be happy with life without a few more inssignificant cms"

I think you made a right decision given your height but I'm curious because I don't think it's just a coincidence that you called it off a day after some guy pricess started vaguely claiming that your doctor ruined his life. My hunch is that you talked to him on pm and he gave you some details that scared you off. Can you share what he told you.
