Since my daughter is only 12 years old and it is hard for her to keep any secret, she shared with her friends the info about possible future surgery. So many people including some of my relatives became very opinionated and judgmental. We talking about same kind of people who would support someone's transitioning into different gender ( i am not judging anybody ), liposuction, breast augmentation, braces for their kids with already perfect smiles, etc...Then why such cruelty toward someone who is already feeling very low. How hard is it to understand that no parent wants their kid to be called midget ..no parent wants to see their child struggling when limb lengthening surgery exists...Yesterday one of the parents asked me if we still want to go ahead with the "barbaric" surgery. Maybe it was just ignorance on her part, maybe it was an intentional insult. I don't know...either way, I am more and more agree with people who want to keep it a secret.
Sorry,I was too upset when I wrote my post. I am happy with my height. I am talking about my daughter . She is 4'7. Her growth plates are closed. If we will go ahead with the surgery, it will be about 2 years from now. It is hard for her to keep secrets from her friends. Her friends actually very supportive, but their parents are very judgmental.

Maybe she will lose 1 year during her teenage years if she decided to do it later. time is very VALUABLE at age 17-20
@berezoni, I just checked. 4'7 is 139cm.... is there something wrong with your daughter or this is genetic? At this height don't think you have a choice but to let your daughter do LL.
fk the world from 2021 
. I hope people in 3000 realize they are fking lucky to not have to go through this barbaric surgery to grow taller.
She was supposed to be between 5 and 5'2. She had precocious puberty that went unnoticed. I am saving every penny for her to have 2 surgeries if she wants to do it in the future. We actually had the surgery scheduled in February, but it was canceled because the surgeon only wanted to use Stryde on her. I read a lot about the psychological effects of limb lenghthening surgery on kids. All of it is positive. Kids are resilient and recover quicker.

I've been persuaded out of LL for hundreds of times by tall guys over 180cm..They're always judgmental about my attempt to do LL and they're trying to preach me with examples like Xiaoping Deng,Changjiang Pan,Jack ma and so on..(I'm a Chinese boy).But I think they don't understand me.
I agree with you ..It is also a complete lack of empathy. Those people have no idea how being this short makes someone feel.
