Pretty tough.

My close family knows because my parents are paying for surgery but not the rest of my family. I used to wear high shoes (at least 4-5cm) but for some reason I look/feel like I am much taller now than with the shoes (which is weird because I've lengthened only 6 cm). People will definitely notice I'm much taller now. I'll just tell them it's in their heads because I've been in Europe for so long.

Since I didn't finish lengthening until later today I've been very lazy about walking so still the same 70% because of a little stiffness and a little duck ass (only noticeable after I've been seated for a long time).

good stuff, Do you think 6 cm is noticeable? many people did LL and fool their parents as its in their head, how to fool someone with a noticeable thing?

And about walking 70%, do you walk and go to stores and restaurants like a normal guy at this stage? does people notice something wrong with your walking?

People aren't stupid. When someone notices you're two inches taller they won't just think it's in their head. Especially if they were close to your original height.  This surgery is hard to hide to family members and friends no matter what you say. I say you should tell your immediate family, but probably not others unless you trust them.

Even 3 cm was noticeable! 6 cm is impossible to mask, especially if you are in the little less than average /average height. Because of the bell like distribution of height , small increases will make you surpass a lot of The population. Perhaps a dwarf of 135 cm who goes to 140cm may not cause a big impression on the difference of height but people like some here who are 170-175 will notice a huge impact.
If they are close to you and see you everyday they'll definitely notice but people who you dont see  regurlarly might not notice at all and even if they do, many people have no idea this surgery exists so they'll believe you are wearing high shoes or that they simply mistook your height.

No, even if I don't walk with crutches I have them on my hands, because I'm afraid people might bump into me. Walking for long periods of times is annoying, because my balance is off and also I'm much slower than normally. Also I use the crutches for sitting down :standing up/ going up or down stairs
