Great generalization, I'm sure you have plenty of things going for you in life.

You... what? 15cm? This is not 2006 anymore, the days of the 20cm Betz patients are over.
And what about your tibias, your achilles bro.. they're gonna hurt for a long time.

Couldn't have said it better
Quote from: Deads on January 28, 2016, 04:42:18 PM The taller guys just want to be taller for the heck of it. Most of the time they don't perceive their height as a hindrance in any way, they just like the idea of being taller.
Exactly. I just want to become taller because I believe that is something I lack. I dont have. And I can never get with hard work. Which pisses me off.

Yes. This is part of it too. Granted, at 166, few would argue that I needed this surgery. Now at 173, maybe it's slightly questionable, but I still feel short. And I'm the kind of guy (maybe because I was and am short) to give my all into everything I do. So it sucks that I'm stuck with being short and can't work hard (without LL) to fix it. If there was an exercise routine (no matter how difficult and time consuming) that could make me 6'2", I'd be 6'4".

What do you figure will be worse, the proportions or the complications? Cause there's no way you can get away cleanly with 6 inches.
Quote from: Deads on January 28, 2016, 04:42:18 PMMost of the shorter men on this forum are the ones that pathologically think that they're held back by their height.. The taller guys just want to be taller for the heck of it. Most of the time they don't perceive their height as a hindrance in any way, they just like the idea of being taller.
The men with below average height are justified in wanting the surgery, it's just (some of them) their attitude towards blaming everything on their height that stinks.
True, although there are definitely tall guys on this forum that think their height is a hindrance. I don't think LL will help their mentality either. And I don't know why a tall guy, despite not finding his height to be a hindrance, would do this unless he were an aspiring model or just a really rich psychopath with a lot of free time.
Quote from: YellowSpike on January 28, 2016, 04:42:53 PMI agree with you man. Sometimes I feel kinda bad about wanting another LL at 5'8". But then I see guys who start at 5'8" or higher, and still want LL, and then I don't feel as bad.
I think LL is a virtual necessity if you are a guy under 5'5" or so. You will benefit greatly from this surgery.
Thanks! I too think going 5'2.5 or something to 5'5 or 5'5.5 where the average male height is 5'7, and the average female height is 5'4 or so is a massive gain. It's like going 5'5 to 5'8 in the States.
I think you should do what your body can handle. Since it looks like your actual final goal(though you won't go for it) is 6'4 or just "really tall!", you won't stop this until some complication forces you to. If you're doing 2 more inches, just triple check if it's worth it and tell yourself you'll stop there. Just my 2¢.

Well said!

I think this is exactly what Guichet screens his patients for during his consultations. You have to prove to him that you have extraordinary work ethic first before you get operated.

Dude, I think you misunderstood what I wrote (ouroboros seemed to get it), or you're just being sarcastic lol. Of course I'm not going past 5'10" - I'd look like a freak and would probably never walk normally again. I mean, height is important to me, but I'm not an idiot. What I meant was that, with my work ethic, if there were some sort of natural (none bone-breaking) way to get to 6'4", no matter how hard, I'd have been 6'4" since was 16. That's the kind of person I am, and Dr. Guichet I believe definitely screens for that.
