Quote from: YellowSpike on March 04, 2015, 10:17:54 PMI guess this is after the fact (just a little bit... 
)..but since I'm bored...
I'm in my very early 30s, and hail from the greatest city in the world! My starting height was 166cm (evening), I am now around 173cm (evening), but still have duckass. But I've been measured a few times (always in the evening), and the lowest was still just over 5'8". So I'm pretty certain I hit my goal, and I definitely feel a lot taller.
Now just starting the recovery phase, which I know is gonna be somewhat frustrating. Still glad I did LL though. I had to. My height has bothered me since I was 15, and got really bad the last 2 years. I had no choice. I was just so tired of feeling like every good looking woman I dated had power over me (if that makes sense) and inferior to all other guys who were at least a
verage height.
so you have height neurosis since you're 15 
How did you hold out?Have you ketp money aside since you have competed your studies, how long have you had the idea of doing ll?

Well, back when I was 15, LL seemed like this out-of-this-world-bizarro-Frankenstein-like procedure (which it kind of still is). It was simply out of the question.
I sort of "got over" (or, rather, suppressed) my height neurosis, as I still managed to do really well with women (I'm very good looking facially), and my career success was pretty good as well. What made my height neurosis come back big time was a very back breakup several years ago. I then stumbled upon these forums, and once that happened, it was very hard to get the idea out of my head. And I also became more and more aware of how my height was impacting my opportunities with women, and I was just more keen on peoples' comments about other short men (some who were taller than me and not even that short). For the first time in my life, I became acutely aware of how I could manipulate my body however else I wanted (hours in the gym, which I never minded doing), but no matter what...I was still very short.
I've been able to comfortably afford LL with a top doctor since I was around 25. But I was in a steady relationship back then, so I didn't care as much. And that's a mistake I vowed never to make again, even subconsciously (rely on a relationship for confidence or whatever).

Quote from: endomorphisme on March 04, 2015, 10:09:24 PMMy goal height is 187 cm too
I was also the shortest among my friend, and i always feel average or below average, which led me to consider leg lenghtening.
I'm also interested in doing ll with dr solomin, but i would like to read diaries from patient who did ll with him
Exclide had a pretty good experience so far with Dr. Kulesh who works closelsy togehther with Dr. Solomin.
I might write a diary about him this summer.
Hi all,
I am thinking about LL surgery from a long time now. My current height is 5’6” and I have slight bow legs. I am doing well in my life, and though I always felt I was short, I didn’t really face many problems except for a few occasional “You are short” comments. I am very practical, and didn’t really give a damn to those comments. But, I always wanted to do bow leg correction due to the lingering leg pain, and the possibility of future knee pain, so lengthening a inch or two in the same surgery made sense to me.
It was a difficult decision, and I got the courage to do it only after going through many personal experiences and innumerable posts on this forum. Now, finally I have decided to take the plunge, if everything goes right, I might do it next month itself in India. Planning to go to Mumbai and Delhi for consultation in a few days.
Bye!
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, I look forward to being part of this community. My height is 5'7 3/4 but I just tell people I am 5'8. I am in general good health, eat right, avoid drugs and alcohol. My future plans are to have surgery with Dr.Paley with precise(anything internal). Height is something that I feel will enhance my overall life, I am currently in the process of saving money for this type of procedure. As I do this, I will also continue to invest in my personal and professional life.
All things that have a beginning must meet an end. If I decide to change my mind on this procedure I will leave this forum. If I complete the procedure then I will leave the forum. But as for now I am looking forward to this part of this journey that will make an impact on my overall life.
I look forward to speaking to every single person in this forum.
