Im 5 9 and thinking of going for ll to become 6 3, the surgery would be on both tibias and femurs, how much would this surgery get in the way of military deployment? I think endurance would be an issue

Your running stamina will noticeably decrease but your muscle strength after building it back up again should go near pre-leg lengthening level. With the amount of running my friends in the military said they had to do in training, I wouldn't do it.

Also, lengthening a total of 6 inches is asinine. Don't do it.

I thought 5/6 inches was the max one could do and since I'm not that short from the start it would not be that big of a % to lengthen. How does endurance decrease exactly? I mean your muscles get fatigued more quickly or your bones hurt

Also I'd do the surgery when I'll be about 19 so my recovering ability will be pretty much the best they could be. Haven't grown since I was 13

So I believe in the physical examination check, they require you to have removed all orthopedic hardware first? Anyone know?

You are young... you will learn in time that 5-6 inches to become 6'3 is unreasonable. Yes it can be done but I am 5'6 and only plan to lengthen to 5'9 (hopefully). This is a major toll on the body and you will likely not look good at 6'3. You will get the desired results you want with 2-3 inches. Being 6'3 comes with proportions that will most likely not match up well (it's tough for us all to hear). You will be fine and look amazing at 6'0. I've heard guys at 6'3+ don't enjoy it as much as you'd think it can be too tall to fit in .

Seriously forget about post-LL military deployments due to such much lengthening.

Guys ok you don't think 6 inches are possible, whatever, I read of a lot people doing but ok. The question was about military deployment, how does it change endurance? Muscles get fatigued more quickly? Why? Bones break more easily? You're not agile enough? Is there anyone here who got deployed?

Is 5 inches reasonable or probably not? If someone does 7 cm on femur and then 6 on tibia it seems possible but it seems like the absolute safe upper limit? Not sure, seems a bit sketchy

Why from a decent height you want to lengthen that much to become super tall ?
It is stupid and of course you'll not be able to run as fast or have stamina as before or even walk normally if things don't go well. Which is very probable with 2 big LLs.

Anyway, you are a children. When you grow up you'll see that what you want is just delusional.
