Thanks again.

I have answered all your questions below.

How do I feel I look with a tucked shirt?  Here's a vid with your answer. I'm still a bit stiff without the physical therapy but it's improving.
I watched over the vid and I misspoke.  I didn't mean it's better than being short, I meant I like it better than when I was shorter. Sorry if I offended anyone.


When I first came back from Florida and my legs were incredibly thin, I was turned off by how spider like they were.  But now that they have thickened up, particularly the tibias, my legs are the favorite part of my body.

About the Paley horror stories.  It's not the most organized place and complications happen but everyone I know of came out ok after all was said and done.  Just save extra money because not all the lengthening's go perfectly, especially with Tibia.  Even after all that I went through, I really don't know of any other place I would have trusted for this surgery. 

I used to go to physical therapy 4 times a week and they would stretch me.  But since I am back to working and sitting in an office chair, my progress is slowing down, and that's ok because I know eventually I will be 100%, I just have other priorities now.  I don't really stretch
but I try and practice walking as much as I can.

I'm new to the building so these girls have never met me before.  I'd say the shorter ones would have still liked me pre ll, and the only thing that has changed is my chances with the taller girls.  I am hooking up with someone who is 5 foot 9, perhaps she wouldn't have been attracted to me if I was still 5 foot 5.

Looking good you handsome sob. You don't look disproportional at all and your gait is phenomenal. Congrats on all the action you're getting, I wish I could be so fortunate, lol. Kinda makes me wanna do femurs to even out my legs.

Thanks Polycrates.  If you want to be fortunate with the ladies, get yourself a walker, it's better than having a puppy when it comes to meeting women.  You don't need the femurs to even out, even though I respect whatever decision you make.  When I met you I 100%- on my life- could not tell that you got limb lengthening.  And you were tall as fk.  So go get them.

Height aside, my life is in the proverbial gutter right now (lost job, lost apartment, lost car). Just proof to those on the forum you need more than height to be successful in life's endeavors. I'll recover in time though, and thanks for the kind words.

Glad you feel that way. You look really good man. In fact, besides the arms thing (which still honestly is my biggest area of scrutiny) you actually remind my of 5'8 friend who also has a very simlar build to you. Thinking about it, I feel like I would actually like that body type; there is something really good looking about having long limbs.

Thanks as always for your response!

Sorry to hear that Poly.
Thanks Alu. Np
My legs look nice in the video; the camera was sitting on my couch.  My dad took these 2 from his eye line- about 5 foot 6-, you can see him in the mirror.  It seems like the camera angle really influences how long they appear.  Also it could be the Iphone lens because my head looks big in these.  I really prefer how they look in the video.

One thing I have been meaning to ask Limb Lengthening veterans- in case you happen to be reading; how long did it take to get your ass back?  I'd say my calf muscles are fully formed already but my thigh area and butt are very thin still.  Were you able to get the butt and thigh to pre limb lengthening size?  I've also noticed that I lost a lot of my upper body strength as well.  I can do unlimited dips because of the walker but I tried doing pull ups for the first time since surgery and I can barely do 1.  It's pretty shocking since I was always able to do at least 10 pull-ups without having been to the gym in a while.

The vast difference between your calves and fems glutes is because your calfs are always working when you walk and because they are also under constant tension due to the complex tendons.. Its not only hypertrophy but also some minor form of fibrosis in that area.
 about glutes and fems, from ll vets who i got their contact, it takes a while to get those back...

Thanks, I believe the info about the calf muscles because they grew very quickly and I have a feeling they are going to be huge.  But of course huge calf muscles would look odd with thin thighs so I need to work the thigh out a lot and asap.

You look really good man. Your proportions actually look better post surgery. I felt the same post lengthening. Remember, having long legs is considered attractive so you're right about not wanting to hide it.

Congratulations, hope you're back to 100% soon
