yellow , im now 165 approx, and i have been always thinking that 172 is the point where all this discrimination that we have suffered for our height stops, so you will be fine now, yeah maybe you could have done 1cm more, but 1 cm isnt really noticeable, you will look the same

Yeah my thoughts exactly. 1cm is less than half an inch. I've always said 171/172 is where most height discrimination for men ends (even if you're not getting the stuck-up bitches who only date 6'2" and up, who wants to marry them anyway?). So I'm just a tad under 173 now...that's fine!
Are you gonna do LL? I think even if you get 6cm (though I'm sure you'll get more) and get to 171, I think anything over 170/5'7" is perfectly fine (as long as you have other things going for you, which I'm sure you do).
yes, im going to do it, hope this year , i want to be 172 but maybe i will be a Little under that because if i do tibias i dont think i will go for more than 6,5cm

You're definitely doing tibias?
I did femurs because of the shorter recovery time and because my femurs were disproportionally short for my body. I have to say...my after LL proportions (tibia to femur, and legs to torso) look awesome. Once I'm walking normally and I take care of the scars, you'd never know I did LL. Even moreso once I regain my muscle mass.

I'm also very slightly annoyed at stopping at 6.75cm...but it's made a HUGE difference. I just get angry/jealous at all the people on here who do more (and they're already taller than me and/or didn't need LL to begin with, in my opinion), but I keep trying to remind myself that I've had a lot of pain, and 5'8" (which was always my goal, and I got it) isn't bad at all. I just know that I would never do a second LL, and I don't want any regrets. I don't think another half inch is the end of the world, I'm just very hard on myself and always want the best for myself. But as I said earlier...safety first. The last few clicks were really starting to hurt, I've had bad knee pain, numbness...a lot of reasons to stop, and my gain is pretty solid and pretty much my goal from day one.
People on here also talk about femurs not gaining all the height you gain, but I kinda feel like I may be an exception somewhat. My femurs/legs looks almost perfectly straight when I look in the mirror standing up, and I was bow-legged before the surgery. I kinda tower over my dad now, who used to have a half-inch on me. So I guess I shouldn't be ambivalent about stopping now...
Man I'm just a mess of PMS-like emotions today. LOL 
hey bro, if 1 cm is all ur after, try yoga.. I grew 1 cm with yoga and this ebook called "dynamic height increase". The height has remained permanent ever since. yoga really helps.
you can also (in addition, or in the alternative) try glucosamine 750 mg in two divided doses daily. I gained another 0.5 cm with that. a study has shown that most people grew 0.5 cm in the spine with glucosamine., its also good for ur joints yeah, so I would reco taking it. (I am still taking it). it takes about 2 weeks to 8 weeks to see full results.
yup, I was 171.5 night height, but after glucosamine and yoga I became 173 night height (for a few years already)
if you are lazy to do all those, 1 cm is not much. look at a ruler

I've been living a good life at 173 cm (night height) and lifts. I just got annoyed with having to remove my shoes.
I am also contemplating to stop my tibia at 6-7 cm instead of 8 cm because I heard athletic function might decrease....
1-2 cm is not much. more than 2 cm is noticeable.

haha! Actually yoga is on my list, and maybe I will try gluco as well! I think I'm around 167 in the morning, and 166 in the evening (Dr. G and another doctor in Milan measured me at 166 at night, so I'll go with that). Another 1cm (though barely noticeable) would be welcome, but I'm just around 173 now, and I'm perfectly fine with that!

That's so great, every CM gained is one you won't have to lenghten. You almost got 2CM, and in the spine no less.

Yea I think I may try all this once I'm fully recovered. Another cm or so would be icing on the cake for me.
Can't sleep. Knee pain, back pain, ITB pain, hip pain, muscles tight all over...I just hate LL so much. I wish it didn't exist or that I never found out about it. Or that height didn't fking matter so God damned much. Or that waking up to take a piss in the middle of the night didn't involve crutches and having to be so careful. I feel incompetent and so unattractive right now (I hate not having an ass big time).
I just don't see how all of my problems will ever go away or how I'll ever walk normally again. It just seems...impossible. I hate my life right now.
Man, I really suck today.
