The disphoria atleast for me wouldn't go away until I was about 180cm which I wouldn't do by getting another LL because I would lose any athletic I have left AND my wife already whinged about my last LL and didn't want me to do it.

Did you do 4cm on tibias? I should be able to pass for 180 with shoes if I can max out this femur nail. However, even if I stopped now I wouldn't get a second LL.
It must be a lot tougher to get LL after you're married since spending decisions will have to be agreed upon by you and your spouse.

Bro I haven't heard the end of it lol........I'm always reminded that I spent more than 20k on LL.
She even whinges to this day about the recovery as if she was the one that done it lmao.
I do notice though that she gets upset when women look at me.

Nah bro i done like 5.5cms in tibia and 4cms on femurs.
Let me tell you the femur were the most excruciating pain in my life. Tibias were a walk in the park.
And look even 176 barefoot would be great then with shoes 180cms.
I regret not doing more than 4cms on femurs but I had no callus and was running out of funds so I had to stop.

I would love if it was never invented, because then I would never even think of doing it 24/7 and devoting my life to getting it done.

It was only once I found out about the surgery...that I could actually do something about my height...that it caused me to go crazy learning as much as I can.

Interesting, most people who have done quads say the opposite that tibias were way more painful than femurs. Which doctor did your femurs and which method?

I used Dr Sarin for both, For femur I done a semi internal meaning their was one whole in each leg. The device wasn't lengthening enough with each turn of the pump. It was the HLN nail and I wouldn't receive it. Tibias yes for me were a walk in the park with Dr Sarin. I know other people had bad experiences but I was fine he took care of me.
Anyway yes femur for me was the worst.
Im ok now, I can even do one legged squats.

Obviously if you do external Femurs, it will be torture. Semi internal = external

People who say tibia is harder than femur is referring to internal femur

External femur is the most painful and uncomfortable thing you can imagine.

I seriously cannot believe that people even remotely consider external femur in 2021.
