On choosing a doctor for LL / What can you tell me about Dr. Pili?

I've been a lift-wearer for 8 years. It does help. But deep in my heart, I feel like a faker and inferior to other real taller people.

I was also in a real uncertainty for years before. I tried acceptance but didn't work out. Eventually I realize that being the height I am now isn't an option and that at my current height, I consider myself as a loser in this life. I will never feel fulfilled no matter how rich I get or how many pussies I have. I think I will take that leap of faith at a nothing-to-lose position. I am already crippled now.

But it is really weird how opinions on ATL can differ so much among orthopedic surgeons. Did you see Giotikas' reply?

Yes. And dr Giotikas answer is the right one. Paley and any other respectable doctor avoid atl at all costs.
Only Catagni, Pili, Indian butchers and some old doctors (like the one I did LL) are doing atl.
Noone else.

So Pili does atl without even knowinfmg how vad it is for the leg and how serious permanent deficits leaves.
So imo he seems to not be the right doctor for me, even though I want femur LL. If I dont trust a doctor then I dont trust him in anything.
We'll see about Giotikas. He seems promising.
