Quote from: Descreteuser on October 05, 2015, 08:22:01 PMyou are 5'2..  you think its worth you going from being extremely short to still very short? answer me that.. to be honest with you, i think if you are that short to begin with, you are always going to be really short.. yeah you may feel better for a while, but i can say the same thing, is it worth you breaking your legs to be still short anyway? i dont question anyway else on here for doing it.. so why is it you think taller people cant do it ey? if you are 5'2 do you honestly think you are ever gonna be happy getting to a height that is still really short? f*ck sake you would have to lengthen 5 inches just to get to a so called 'normal short' height.. you think you are honestly gonna pull that off and not look completely unnatural? i think going from 5'11 to 6'1 is way more worth it than 5'2 to 5'5.. so please tell me mr penguin? how is it that its not worth it for me, but will be for you? im going from being just above average to being tall, and will forever be comfortable knowing im satisfied with my height.. you are going from extremely short to very short, how will this improve your life any more than it will mine?

Theres another indian man called akash shukla who went from 4"11,5 to 5"2. And i think it improved his life a lot. He posts messages like "i knew the surgery wasnt going to make me tall but i am not that short anymore" he thinks he can beat up the whole world now by saying "i'm 6 ft in my mind" its funny to read it but he really thinks people dobt see him as really short anymore

Exactly! Thankyou for posting this.

To any impartial observer looking in, you guys are all crazy. Having your legs broken to gain 2 inches? Whether you're 5'2 or 5'11, it's not going to significantly alter your life. The safe amount to lengthen is too small. For significant results, you're almost guaranteeing yourself *years* of recovery with multiple surgeries.

Where are all the success stories? Where's the guy that lengthens 3+ inches, pays for surgery *once*, recovers & in 12-18 months and is living a normal life? I've read a lot of diaries. He doesn't exist. And because everyone here is desperate, it's overlooked. What's considered a "normal" complication and a "normal" trade off in order to get just a few inches taller becomes crazier and crazier.

To the OP, congratulations. I hope you've saved yourself. Take the money you would have spent on LL, put it into a mutual fund & enjoy your wealth/health instead of being stuck in a hospital and then struggling to run for the rest of your life.

Anyone that does this surgery is going to say they feel better because of how much they've invested into it.

I'd love something more objective. Is he making more money? Is he fking girls he had no chance with before? I would want some *significant* improvements if I were to cripple myself. Not something mild - a small boost that meditation and going to the gym would give me anyway.

Thank you. By losing my height neurosis i meant i have accepted my height becuz theres a very minimal chance i had stunted my growth in my teens. But i must admit i still wanna be taller so i can't say i wont do LL. i hope we can regenerate our growth plates soon so i can grow without any pain. But i would do ll if i had the money now

A healthy, wealthy ripped 5'8 beats a semi crippled 5'10. 

LL is all about presence and aesthetics. It takes years and years of training to build your dream body - years and years of consistent work, dealing with minor injuries/setbacks etc. If you lengthen, there's 18 months down the drain, at least. & you're never going to be able to train like you could before. How many years until you get back into peak shape? 5? Never? There's a good chance you will be significantly weakened for life.

And if anyone is thinking "I'm not in good shape anyway, it doesn't apply to me" why the heck aren't you getting into shape & seeing if it changes your beliefs/possibilities first before considering LL???

If you arent into sport and wanna be taller so bad you wont care about you could be weakened for life. I have short legs. Very short tibia's, my knee height is 50/53 cm for a 5'8 guy. If i had the money i would call guichet right now to get 2 operations to get 12 cm taller

You're wrong "he" does exist. I considering Doingitforme and Programdude (both Paley patients) to fit this category. They lengthened to 8 CM and seem to be doing quite good for themselves. In retrospect Programdude went from average to above average/borderline tall. Where as DIFM went from short to average; but he's now in his consolidation phase even though he's had one of the best lengthening experiences I've read thus far. As for Programdude his recovery last time we checked is going well. However, for me personally I'd much rather go the route Vitruvius (from the old forum and another Paley patient) went and lengthen both segments. His recovery has been phenomenal in comparison.

I dont think you have to worry about anything if you do internals with guichet

You're wrong again. It's all about perspective. Monetary and dating benefits aside, going from one height to a taller one can be vastly empowering. Sure, let's not get it twisted he's only 5'2, and I feel for the guy, but you seriously don't think going from his original height to a vastly improved 5'2 wasn't worth it? Like really?! It makes me laugh at you for thinking so narrowly and cynically. We all have different goals and views on life; don't apply your own views to others that might not give a f*ck about those views.
