Quote from: Uppland on July 10, 2015, 05:49:58 PMYeah, it's rough feeling like you can't accept your natural height, I mean what are you supposed to do then?

It's either living the rest of your life being unhappy with yourself or to go through this crap. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

How is your movement yellowspike, do you feel like a cripple or something?

Noticing any progress?

Not feeling like a cripple at all. I can walk pretty well and have been doing the train, stairs, gym etc. I have some annoying pain here and there but I can deal with that.

My frustration stems from the high cost I paid to get here and still be unhappy with my height. But this can only go on of two ways...learn to accept 173 or do a future LL. For those who can clear a good height with one surgery may feel differently.

But once you've gone through this once....you'll see what I mean lol

Yeah, man I don't want so sound like a jerk but I think I get how you feel. My goal was always to be at least my dads height but that's not gonna happen so I will always be more or less unhappy with my height -that's something we both will have to live with for the rest of our lifes.

I will say this though: 173CM is short in the west -no way around that- but it's normal. I see people that height or shorter every day, some are handsome, some are successful some are both. They'll always be short but their height doesn't define them like it for example does a 165CM guy. So that's a really big leap you've taken, from blatantly short to a height that no one will think twice on -not even here in Sweden would it be strange at all. Hell the current sex symbol over here is your height exactly, he's getting more blonde pussy than he can cope with, and the minister of state is shorter than you are.

Bottom line is, yeah you are short, but your height isn't holding you back anymore -you can do and be whatever you want. No one will question it.

well at least your tibia surgery will be cheaper as you can use the cheaper devices like externals etc.

but can you do tibia while the nail is still inside for your femurs, i know you have to wait ages to remove the nail.

Ha thanks Uppland. It's all good, if I recovery fully by next year (as in 100% pre op status) I still might do a second LL. I'm just a bit tired of it at this point, but gotta keep going. The thought of another LL makes me sick. I have other things going for me (including great facial aesthetics and career), but I have very high standards for myself.

Lol thanks but pretty sure I'd be seen as a midget in Sweden Though I do love hot blondes....might have to travel there someday. Love Swedish chicks!

Nah it's not that bad honestly, it really isn't. Feel free to hit me up if you're coming over, I think you're a cool dude.

Also height isn't such a big deal here either, almost never hear people talk about it.

Right back at ya man. You are intelligent and wise beyond your years (remind me of myself when I was younger).

I'm more than happy to meet up with other people who want to do or have done LL (might be meeting some more people on here soon) and respond to PMs, but I think I'm done updating my diary for a while because I know how I'm coming across, and I'm definitely not like that in real life. I've said it a few times, but I mean it now.

My personal takeaways:

1) If you are ultra short, LL should really should only be done by those who are young and rich and can do two back-to-back surgeries (and don't have to juggle a career like us average Joes). One surgery will not be enough, you will still be short and very possibly not entirely happy (though this last bit varies from person to person).
2) Those who can clear 5'10" in one surgery (starting heights of about 5'7"-5'8") should go for it, they'll be set with one LL. Once you clear 5'10" it just doesn't matter anymore to most women and almost all people you will know (except if you have tall siblings and friends or are a lot shorter than your father, all of which I understand).
3) LL blows and is simultaneously the best thing (we can get taller) and worst thing ever (if you do this, you will see for yourself, trust me).

Okay, but remember -we all want to know how your recover. It's just as interesting as the surgery process itself so don't leave us hanging for too long aight'?

May be a while, but sure! The problem with recovery (which you will all see) is that even though we all definitely do make progress, it takes a while to see significant tangible improvement.

who would you do for tibia lenthening?

Edit Post

Yellowspike, i would like to do this surgery but I am not going to tell anybody. So I have a question, given G-nail is weight bearing, how many months from OP can you walk "normally". Like not robotic but maybe with a slight limp which is not too obvious?
