Quote from: Sweden on December 02, 2017, 12:54:29 AMWith my winter boots I’m ~183cm tall and I enjoy every minute of it.
I’ll be getting a new passport soon and I’ll try to make them print “height: 184cm”.
That’ll be sweet since all of my other passports says 173.....
Sweden you are 1.80 which is a great height. With shoes you are always 1.82-3 without even insoles.
This is a great improve over your previous height and no sane person would feel any problem at that height.
So why you want to print on your passport 1.84? This seems that you still has height complexes and I really can't understand why after all you've been through.
I am 1.75 and when I am asked how tall I am I never add even 1 cm more. And I don't want my passport or id to write anything else, although my height is not that good as 1.80 and also I plan to do another LL.
You seem like a sensible person but I can't understand why you still have problems with your height and as I remember you have some x knees after LL which is way more important than doing a second LL. I did a corrective surgery 6 minths ago to straight my right leg and shorten my achn tendons as I want to be as good as I can before I do a second LL and I am about 10 years less than you and without family.
So I wonder why a married man like you at the age of about 40 is still not ok with an 1.80 height and wants to do another LL without even fixing completely the problems the first LL left to him.
Ayway I am writing all these because I know you from the old forum and I don't believe you are a lunatic like many people here who want to lengthen 3 cm, who did 2 LLs with 1.83 initial height or does cross LL with external barbaric frames. That's why I want understand your motives and why you are not completely ok with your current, veey good, height.
It’s just a passport. It’s for the fun of it.
When I’m old I have something cool to show my friends at the retirement home or something.
I’m satisfied with my height. Not every day but enough.
I did a thourogh examination of my X-legs this year and it is caused by short muscles. It is very difficult to fix.
There is nothing wrong with my tibias. They are as straight as they should.
And yes, removing the rods will set me back too much right now in my life. I need to have a functional body.
Do the rods set off airport metal detectors? I'm sure this has been asked before sorry haha.

Sometimes.
The detector the guard is wearing in his hand beeps off.
But they know what it is so they barely even ask any more.

Valid points. But still I believe that another LL won't offer you much things as you have a very good height and you already have a fiancee so that extra height boost does nit really matter that much when you are in a good height.
But you know better.
For me I know that if I was 1.80 I wouldn't consider LL. Thats why I plan to stop at 6cm in my second LL, because when I am a solid 1.80 at night I won't care for more.
But different people different choices.
Keep strong!
Thanks!

That's like saying statistically speaking many Indians live in London, but you can still live there if you're not Indian.
I agree, based on what I have seen - professional discrimination is minimal based on height or looks, the social/dating discrimination is huge.

Not sure what else to tell about. Ask me anything.
Do you think it's still possible do dance like this after the operation ?
Can you do some basic moove like the running man ?
Thanks 
It can be done.
I can’t do it, but that’s bc I can’t dance.
A patient who don’t have X-legs or a broken foot should not have any trouble doing that.
Don’t pass 5cm on tibia and you’ll be fine. My 7cm was too much. I have issues every day. Small, but still.

I don't intend to pass 5cm on tibia, but is the difference that big?
After all, it's all a bunch of unnaturally stretching your soft tissues.
I also know you've described your issues as small aches and such in the past, but could you go into a bit more detail, if you find the time, please? Thank you.
