Is this forum really full of mentally freaks?

Although I agree that there is some nutcase out there.

However, I believe that in your case, it's pure courage. It takes a lot of courage to try and be different. A lot of people just take life for whatever it is and just go to forum and whine and complain. But to act on your problem and change your life, that is courage.

Quote from: Ajax2thousand20 on November 11, 2014, 10:04:02 PMYeah I guess your right. But I'm still gonna aim for 6'3" in 2016. I'm gonna pay credit card debt and do a consultation with Salameh in 2015 and If all works out, I'll lengthen in Q1 or Q2 of '16.

haha, hopefully we'll both be 6'3 range then. We should go for a celebratory drink if we survive.

The desire for being taller isn't a mental problem, just saying. I meant ill freaks by those who were usually insulting people around here for no reason, talking about weird ratios and stuff, or simply saying "proportions?? fk em!!! I am 4'3" and I am aiming to be (ex.) 8'3" tall!!!". I have seen a lot of guys way too crazy around here who either take things way tooo seriously or just do things without even thinking and considering the risks. If you are 5'5" and are opting to go for 5'10" then go ahead, nobody is stopping you. Just be concerned about proportions and stuff like that. Now, some guys do get mad when you talk them about proportions or simply are not concerned about it, that is what I mean.

I am in my 40s which isnt unheard of but is fairly rare on these boards. Overwhelmingly you guys are in  your twenties. I sure wish this was avail in my 20s . Even if it was in some form, we didnt have the internet to get the information that it was even possible to do in the first place.

I am 5ft7, but  you guys who are 6ft who pine to become 6ft 3 or whatnot is cool by me. I realize that height dysphoria or whatever they call it is dependent upon the person, and not the height.

However, I will say that  paying all this money, taking time off, getting your legs busted and going through months of rehab to be 6ft 3 instead of 6ft doesnt seem worth it to me. You are already tall enough whereas your society does not judge you. In fact you are already reaping the benefits of your height. However, its your call and if you go for it, I stand behind your decision.

Just my .02

As far as how much you lengthen goes, I do not see the benefit of being 2-3 inches taller considering the pain, effort, money and risks we take.  I just dont. Some of you might and I stand behind your desire as well.

 I want  14 cm . Basically the safest limit we can do without risking complications. Maybe even only 6cm per segment but 7 is not unreasonable. This amount of height will make a tremendous amount of difference to me and well worth the 1 1/2 to 2 years its going to take.

14 cm wont make my proportions look way out of whack. My legs might look a tad too big but again I have very short legs for my body so I caught a break there. My torso fits a larger man.

Everyone has their own goals and dreams. Who are we to scold them and say its 'wrong'? As long as we are informed of the consequences and are prepared to live with them, there is no right or wrong choice.

You are around my dad's height. I would recommend using lifts and getting a little bit bulked up. He seems like 5'11" with lifts and bulked up.Quote from: TomD on December 23, 2014, 11:31:36 PMI am in my 40s which isnt unheard of but is fairly rare on these boards.

You are mistaken sir. 3 inches is a HUGE difference, especially when you're 5'7 or 5'8. I'm 5'8 and I feel short when I don't wear lifts. With lifts I'm 5'10 and I feel tall, women are easier to pick up and people even comment on my height. I do come from a country where the average height is a little under 5'8, but the difference is enormous and that only two inches. My objective is to reach 5'11 without lifts and 6'0 with 1-inch lifts (since they're more comfortable than the 2 inch ones I wear).

3" will take you from short to average, average to tall, tall to very tall! There's no way you can't say 3" is a huge difference. Even 2" if your 5'7" and above will be a huge change in life.

I understand where you are coming from but bare with me for a second.

Three inches is standing on your tip toes. Go to the mirror and stand on your tip toes. You are a little taller true, but that is it.

Go up and down on your toes for a few minutes so you can really see how much you are gaining.
Now, picture having to spend 10k to 50k , breaking your legs, going through 10 months of physio with parts of it in a wheel chair and other parts on crutches. Now look in the mirror and go on your toes again. Is it worth it?

While you are considering that, consider this:

Few are able to lengthen 7.5 cms. I want to do 7cms and I get scolded for it frequently on here.Most have a 6cm safety limit and some even have an ultra safe 5cm limit (2inches) Are you prepared to lengthen for only 2 inches? Honestly? 2 1/2 inches worth all that time, money and agony?

Then there is the symmetry. If you lengthen one segment, you should lengthen the other so they end up in the same proportion from when you started. If you want to grow 3 inches, you will need to be extremely lucky to do it in 1 operation without complications and even then your legs will be out of proportion. So you should do 2 procedures.

Nobody I have ever heard of is willing to do 2 procedures to gain 3 inches. Even 4 inches seems like a waste to me. If I am doing LL, I am doing 5 1/2 inches which is roughly 14cm.

Hope I explained myself clearly enough.
