Hey man !
I have a consultation with Becker in a month. You did 11,5 cm only in the femurs ? After a year or more, is everything alright ? (since there is this idea that 8cm is a max treshhold). I am 164 so almost your initial height, getting around 175 is a big dream for me.
Hey man ! So I just finished reading all of your Diary, sorry for my last post which asked questions about things that are clearly explained.
I wanted to tell you that you Diary has convinced me that I want this surgery, now without a doubt. I am in a fairly similar situation : 164cm, actually good looking /have been told and I do feel it when I see myself in the mirror), but not very succesfull with women (less than you, cause I'm probably not that good looking but also cause my height dysphoria makes me shy around people).
I'll have my first consultation with Becker on August and hoping to do the surgery on January 2024, which would make it exactly two years after you.
I also have a kind of interesting fact to share with everyone : I have two nationalities and have been living between two countries all my life. On of them is a rich European Country, the one other a fairly powerfull latino-american one. I am much more, much more succesfull with women in the latino-american one, where I am short but still on the extreme lower end of what is kind of normal ; in the European one I am clearly on the very short side. So in latin america, I've been with women taller than me that are less exigent thant same height girls in Europe ; I think being average in a country makes your body acceptable even if you're short.
So, two years after your surgery, do you have any advise ? Any complications ? Any regrets ? I am looking forward for 10-11 cm, so I get 174-175cm.
Thank you again for your story, it made all the difference for me and now I know I will do this for sure.
Any updates? Have you considered getting your ITB released to improve your gait and recovery?
Sorry for being absent for such a long time, but been super busy with work, with enjoying the summer and I've also been sick the past few weeks. So this won't be a very detailed update, hopefully I'll write one up soon.
As I said I've been busy with work and enjoying the summer. I've been out a lot at bars and night clubs on the weekend and the benefits of my now normal stature hasn't slowed down. As I've written in several posts here since May, I've gotten much more positive attention and positive responses from women after reaching my new height. I went from basically never being approached by women, to being approached once every weekend when I go out.
After a little stretching and getting some heat into my body my gait is pretty much normal these days. I'm still a little stiff after sitting for a while or driving a car. But once I get going I have no problem walking pretty much unlimited.
My height neurosis is basically 100% gone, and I seldom think about my height any more on a day to day basis. I guess that is what happens when you go from being well below average to basically average height. When I went to parties in the past I would always be the shortest male, and also shorter than most women. Now I am usually smack in the middle when it comes to men, and more than not I am actually a little above average. Seems like those studies about height with data from self reporting isn't that accurate. Either way, I am never the shortest male anymore at social gatherings - not even close. And I rarely meet women who are taller than me. And very few are even my height. So yeah, I just feel like a normal adult - which is great.
Here is a photo of me and a friend this summer out drinking. I am the one on the left, and he is 180cm tall.

Hopefully I'll write up a bigger update with video of me walking sooner than later.

Good to hear. How is your gait now?
In what country do you live? If you prefer not to say, could you atleast say the region? (Central eu, nord eu etc...)

My gait is good after stretching and warming up.

I live in northern Europe. I don't want to be more specific than that.

Then is is pretty nice to know that being 177cms tall you are a little above average even in Northern EU
Good to hear you're feeling better. When you get approached when going out, has it so far led to something more, like dates or one night stands, that you'd assume you would not have gotten at your natural height? Sorry if that's a bit of a direct question but we all know this stuff is the reason many consider this whole thing.
And flirting and having some casual fun is one thing but are you worried at all about any potential long-term partners finding out about your old height by let's say seeing old photos, getting to know your friends and family, and getting to know about this procedure, and then getting second thoughts or somehow seeing it as a dealbreaker? You could say if they did they're not the right one for you anyway, but the same kind of goes for someone rejecting a guy for his height. I guess mathematically speaking you're "in the green" as long as the percentage of women who are not fine with a partner doing LL doesn't outnumber the ones who would have rejected a guy for being your natural height before.
