Having the prospect of arthritis and potentially decreased quality of life at an old age seems regretful to me.

12 years after the surgery, our Mod noticed more tightness in his legs only in his late 30s: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=64544.0

God helps him 12 years from now.

I think it's worth it except ballerina foot, nonunion tendon nerve damage, infection

It's 2020.

I just can't understand why researchers don't push for a non invasive alternative, since there's a HUGE market for it ($$$$).

Like, I am pretty sure the net amount of $ spent on CLL + deformidties worldwide is more than BILLION $ / year. Make a less invasive alternative, and you'll get double that. 

What a world we live in.

I spent 8 months in Germany during my LL and met almost every single Betz patient that went there, either for surgery or coming back for corrections. I never met one that regretted having the surgery, even the ones with bad complications.
Usually people only go for LL when their short height is REALLY screwing their lives, so they are happy even with the usual complications.

But that was back in 2012. Now that Stryde makes a little bit easier to have LL, I think we will start seeing more people regret LL, as they realize that "feeling short at 175-180cm" is way different than actually facing heightism at "below 165cm" and LL didn't really improve their lives that much in comparison to the risks.

It's too hard, that's the problem.  I love science fiction, but the old classics in the genre are getting depressing to read.  Right now I'm reading a book from the early 90s which takes place around present day with a character from my generation.  Sad to read some of the stuff the author expected us to maybe have by now.

Yes you are sort of right. But I'm someone who has never been discriminated or anything in my entire life. I have always been the alpha male in my group etc.

I'm a kid, barely even at the legal age. I've been in a relationship for 2 years. She is still too jealous about me getting along with all the women. Noone literally gives a crap 'bout my height. So I'm not aware how heigtism really affects the individuals.

Why I'm saying these stuff? Because I still give a crap about my height since I don't think my physique looks aesthetical. I have a good taste of fashion and I cannot pull outfits off due to my heighr. If I were like 185 cm which I can still reach with 2 surgeries, I'd not cancel my meet ups with people, old friends etc. Even though nobody has commented negatively about my height, I still am a perfectionist and I don't like myself for a bit physically. I love my face. All I need is just 5 more inches. That's it.

So what I'm saying is, even at the average height; you can improve your life 20x after CLL. You won't have to wear thick shoes. You will love the person you see at the mirror. I guess there are rare exceptions like me who are average but has never been negative commented.

Of course there are tons of average people who think they can't get laid just because of their height, I'm not going to mention them because it's literally so lame. I know, being tall and ugly is 20x better than being a short one. But still, it ain't gonna do much for them. So if you are already at a point where you think you are more than good as appereance, you can be perfect with LL aesthetically. That's why I want it so bad.
