That is just awesome!! It is really good to see guys like you
You are an inspiration for all of us who are still saving money for the surgery
keep it up bro!
Damn OBG, your bones healed beautifully.
EDIT: Awe-inspiring videos too! I think you should be the poster boy for LL gone well.
8 months after surgery.
First skiing after LL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 months and 10 days after surgery.
And this is the text which I owe you to the video above (copied from the old forum):
Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!!!
I have done it!!
I went skiing and snowboarding for the weekend and it was no problem at all. I felt absolutely fine and I would even claim it was good for my legs, too.
On the video the slope is not very steep cause it was easier to film on an easy piste but I also went down steep slopes without problems.
Unfortunately, the sound is partially off due to the heavy wind, thus I will explain shortly what I am talking about in this video:
1. part: sound still good...
2. part: forget about it...
3. part: I am directing this part of my little speech to Prof. Betz, with whom I haven´t had any contact for almost 5 months. Our last contact was a phone call and he was very mad at me for asking a silly question (silly in his opinion because he had explained the answer before, but -well- I did not completely understand so I asked again...).
In the video I ask him to take it easy on him, since he is the expert in LL, for him it´s almost like routine, but not for me, so I am asking him to take it easy on me.
4. part: in the last part I am saying thanks to everyone who reacted to my last post. I thought I was gonna get bashed for being a wheeny wimp but you guys all tried to cheer me up or show some ways to handle my situation.
Thanks again a thousand times!!!
OBG

Quote from: kusop on February 02, 2014, 12:00:52 PMHe has other issues, its obvious by the recent post-LL posts he made on that old forum.
He wrote that he didn't feel any difference in life, his life was still bad. He regretted doing LL and wasting time and money.
Betz psycholog test should have caught his other issues and dealt with them instead of approving him for LL. It would have helped oldiebutgoldie.
I re-read the post you are referring to. I was feeling a little down for a weeks, but it did not have anything to do with LL.
I never wrote or felt or thought my life is bad. Only now and then I get a little frustrated about decisions I have taken. It´s a little like a midlife-crisis thing. At a certain age you realize that it´s difficult to completely change your life again. This is hard for every person, no matter in which situation you are.
I don´t regret LL any more. It was the right decision.
Besides, I would not have failed a psycho test. I was in a very positive and stable condition when I underwent LL. Almost happy because I had just found out about LL shortly before. The first two weeks were a breeze. It started to become harder during lengthening because I hardly could sleep any more. The pain was bearable but insomnia drove me crazy.
Tears come to my eyes very easily when I watch a movie or when I hear or read moving things. But during LL I did not have to cry even in the hardest moments. Of course, there are always moments of frustration, but what do you expect? that´s normal...
During LL I was focusing only on this process, that made my life easy.
When my recovery started to get really good (around 2 months ago) I got distracted from LL and started to think about my life, my job, relationship etc... This led to the post KUSOP is referring to. I realized I have to make some changes in order to really become happy. LL alone will not do that.
I´m on a good way now... 
Peace
OBG
Could you tell a little bit about your motivations for having surgery to get taller?
Did you dislike your height or experience that it held you back in life? If so in what ways?
Great videos and congrats on your level of recovery.

It was a very spontaneous decision. I was not suffering extremely from my height before LL.
I just loved the idea of being taller and was overwhelmed by the possibility of actually doing this.
There is a lot more on this topic in my diary. You can read it on old forum , just skip all the comments...
