Quote from: aspirant185 on February 18, 2016, 05:08:07 PMI think people need to make trade offs. U cannot expect to be 100% as athletic as before the surgery. Hell, if u just break ur legs once without lengthening u will not be at 100%. Many great football players decline after routine breakage.
To me, if I am able to walk normally and jog, that is 100% acceptable. I am not the type of person who does ball sports. I go to the gym , but mainly focus on my upper body. You need to be realistic. My grandfather says - you cannot have both - the dck in the pussy and the soul in heaven 
You need to choose . Its a trade-off like soooo many things in life.
This is very true. I'm not much of an athlete per se. As long as I can still jog (which I can), weight train at the gym, swim and ski almost as well as prior to LL, I'm happy.

if a normal healthy patient gets this surgery, and comes out at 90%, that to me is serious
you're taking a patient and making him worse off medically than he was, and for cosmetic reasons
that's serious

What do you consider 90%? I am willing to sacrifice some of my athletic abilities (I can even accept not doing deadlifts and squats with heavy weights). But for me, getting back 100% in terms of non athletic abilities (walking and short running for making it in time for the bus for example) is a must.
to me, 90% means you never even think of going for a walk, or doing basic things... even jogging...
you don't think to yourself " ok, gotta mentally prepare myself to go for a walk"

I agree with you 100%

The only reason I have to sometimes mentally prepare myself (and crimson, I know exactly what you mean) is because of the stupid mutha f*cking left screw. My jogging aint bad at all...if it's still a bit funny looking, it's due to the fact that my left gluteus medius is still a bit weak (though I've forced myself to push through the pain when weight lifting, and the pain is only there with very specific angles and movements). But walking is effortless now and doesn't really require any mental preparing.
I honestly feel strong enough where I could have been closer to ShyShy had it not been for the left screw. I know I sound like a broken record, but I believe in my heart of hearts that's causing most of my remaining issues.
I have a screw that's killing me tooo... ugh
If I can get myself to the point where I'm not accepting/declining invitations to go out based on the amount of walking involved, I'll accept that
i think it's gonna take prosthesis on my lower left leg though

Because being a short man (below 5'9", MAYBE 5'8", although that's really pushing it) royally sucks. And this surgery is the only means to get taller.

I agree. But not if he prefers function over height.
