Not doing it...

Hi.

After over a year planning and saving up to my journey, I have come to the conclusion that I will not do it. My fear of having fatal outcomes are as strong as my wish to get taller. I am a woman who is 163-164cm tall, and I will have to learn to live with it. I just want to thank those who helped me, answered my questions and just teached me so much on this forum.

No problem, I'm sure you researched and thought it out thoroughly. LL surgery is not for everyone, and most people end up not going through it. Wish you the best.

I understand her perfectly, I'm scared as hell. But my neurosis, height (and gender!) don't compare whatsoever (to start with,  fortunately it seems she doesn't even have persistent, long neurosis). I feel "obliged" to do LL :-((
I would rather take other risks in life, avoid pain and use money and time very diferently.

The cost/benefit ratio for a woman your height is not really in favour of doing LL so you made a sensible choice.

She is a 164cm girl !!!!!
She took the right decision!!!

Don't even bother to listen or read the comments of ppl that have a different gender/height/life n overall..poor mental health !

If I was you ,I would never come back on this forum !
Best wishes

Thx for your great sympathy man. Also that kind of comparisons of mine are also justifying my willpower to do Paley Option 5 in addition to my desparate led by height.

Look, I'm new here and planning on getting LL surgery but this is just sad man. There is probably 100 other things you can work on right now to improve yourself other than height that will greatly benefit your life. Blaming all of your problems on your height does nothing to solve any of the problems in your life. What do you think happens after the surgery? That all your problems from before the surgery will go away? The surgery will just make you go from being insecure about your height to being insecure about some other aspect of your life you fall short and that will be the reason everything is bad. Either get the surgery or don't but no matter which you choose just continue on with life and improve in other aspects you can eg. style, communication skills, knowledge, get buff etc.

You said she's 164cm, so it's the "right decision" to not get the surgery. I thought you believed that since she's already average height for a female, getting the surgery wouldn't make sense. You yourself are average height, so why would you get the surgery? She could have height dysphoria too.
