You're almost there, man. Don't settle for anything less than your goal; after all, you spent a LOT of money in this surgery.

Yea but I gotta get back to work in early March. I don't have much time left.

I'm starting to really regret this because it seems my dream height just isn't going to come true. And if I can't have that, this was all a waste. They measured me standing up against a wall today, and it was bad. I don't even want to say.

I'm just very upset and frustrated right now. I'll never understand, ever, how 5'8" and up guys want this surgery. But whatever.

Hang in there my friend
Have you asked about anesthetic clicking?

Thank you.

It's not the pain. It's just that I don't think my goal is going to happen and that's why I'm very upset right now. Maybe my starting height was a bit less? Maybe I wasn't totally straight today (even though I tried to be against the wall)? Maybe I need to just somehow finish this and not measure myself (or let myself be measured) ever again.

172CM, 173CM -what's the difference? I'm sure you can make 6,5CM, how much do you have left 2-3CM? Even if you slow down to 0.66mm per day that's just a month and a half. You can make it, I'm sure you can.

Dude, you can pull it off. Finish the lengthening with Dr. G to hit 5'8 and you can return to America this February.

Don't settle for anything less than your dream height! You don't want to be regretting your decision in the future.

I really appreciate your guys support. Thank you.

I'm going home 2 weeks from tomorrow, and may have to click a few days at home. I'm hoping to be walking (even stiffly/funnily) by early March.

I'm mainly upset because I just don't know my current lengthening amount. I think Dr G measured my starting height at 166, and another doctor in Milan measured the same in the evening. I should be at about 5cm+ now, but was measured lower than what I should be at. Could duck ass have been the culprit, even though I was up against the wall?

It doesn't help that I got this bad measurement after a painful meeting with an osteopath (I don't even want to talk about that) and hours of PT. I felt like all my work has been for nothing.

All I know is, I really been away for almost 3 months, so I'm not staying more than 2 more weeks. I also have a sick family member. I need to get home.

You know what's best for yourself and even if it's rough right now it will just be a bad memory in a few months.

Thanks man. I can get through these next two weeks, no question. But it will have been 3 months away from home, the holidays, a sick parent....it's all taken a huge toll on me.

I just tried to stand up straight on the mirror. I definitely have duck ass and I think that ruined my measurement today. My ass sticks out and my back/spine isn't straight.

I just wanted to get as close to 5'8" as possible. I've been measured from 166-166.5-167, so ill assume 166 to be conservative. I suppose 5'7.5"+ or thereabouts is close enough to where I can just say 5'8", of course....but as all LL'ers, I'm a bit obsessed with the number. I'm trying to get out of this mindset, though. My relative who met me here over Christmas (when I was just an inch taller) noticed the growth right away.

But I've got time constraints with work...Ill click for up to 4-5 days at home, but that's it. I think that'll put me very close to my goal. But safety first. I want to be able to walk/run/workout/have sex again normally someday soon.

Just be sure to hit 173 cm.
