You will never be 100% after the surgery, here is some proof.

Its hard to try and argue with SOME of the people who want to get LL because they are 'short' and they've finally found a way to get taller and its kinda like were are ruining their dreams which obviously isnt our intention. People just be careful and informed about the repurcussions, thats the only thing I'm asking for dont start regretting it after 10 years when stuff starts going downhill.

"technology has improved a lot in the last 13 years. we are seeing some GREAT outcomes with this new technology. patients are going back to normal life in 2 weeks"

Can you see the quote marks? I was saying this is how surgeons sometimes comment on whether LL is safe. See Montreal172's and my posts on the thread.

I've seen a lot of weird writing habits on the internet, especially on the more international forums like this one.  Even from Dr. Monegal himself capitalizing the first letter of every word.

Best to just make things explicit online.

I bet that you have registered here only for discouraging people from doing CLL.

I don't know what is the problem with CLL, it is just a cosmetic procedure, a lot of people is criticizing it or laughing at people who do it. First, that people said "you will become crippled", now they cannot say that so they say "You will never be 100% after the surgery", using a single opinion to support his affirmation. It doesn't care that there are a lot of people satisfied or uploading videos with good outcomes, the objective is to induce fear, not to inform people.

And of course, if you start a diaries and you are out two days, that means that you died. That is the reason because if I do CLL (my biggest problem is the price), I wont' write here until I finish the process. I don't want to let other people to use my experience for discouraging other people from doing CLL, just because some day I have a little more pain than expected or I needed one week more than expected to return to my normal life.

I don't understand where is the problem of CLL, why a lot of people try to ridicule it or misinform about it, TV series like Gray's anatomy or SCI had his "moral lessons" to discourage people from CLL.

If you've read some of my other posts you'd know I'm a med student who is interested in orthopedic surgery and thats my main reason for being on this site. Next to that I was insecure about my height and thought for awhile maybe LL was an option until I did more research about it. By the way you dont tell me what I can or cant, the only thing I'm doing is informing people about LL. I just give them some info and tips, I dont tell them what to do. If they still want the surgery knowing their legs will never be 100% then be my guest and go for it I dont care I just dont want my fellow forum members regretting their decision or having the surgery done but later on reading about the risks of the surgery.

Buddy, what you are doing is discouraging people who may have been happy after having this surgery, by spreading lies with no factual evidence.
Gonna be honest, that's kind of funny, you took one man's experience who did it in 2007, and basically generalized it to all lengthening surgeries out there, excluding important variants like age, femurs or tibia's, lengthening amount, flexibility, strength as well as doctors, methods and rehabilitation.
Not only i'm sure you can be 100%, i'm sure you can be 300%, and inventing stuff like "your legs are gonna be 10 years older" is a 100% lie, because not only you have never done this surgery, there isn't one evidence that supports that ridiculous statement.

Lastly, you gotta do something about your ***ty personality buddy, the fact that someone has a different opinion than your's, doesn't mean he is delusional or stupid, fix your attitude brother. Thanks.

Gotta say really enjoyed your diary from first time you had that surgeon that had a bunch of
drama and then you took a leap of faith and did it in China. Me by saying that in 13 years there has been medical advances through stryde in precise is sure for comfort but other factors as well, lower risk of fat embolism for once. But if you’re able to do it more comfortably affects your psyche and training regimen. Risk are still there but not as much as 13 years ago. Plus the guy who started this thread analyzed 1 diary 13 years ago, without consider of age, physical aptitude, method, gender, weight, and so on. All this metadata is relevant, to go on so many tangents just by one diary is a stretch IMO.

Cheers.

He's always doing so, he just wants attention or something similar, leave him alone.

Relevant but how relevant?  The guy he was talking about did it at age 25 in good physical shape, 5'7 135 lbs.  Not a P90X level athlete but could do the original Power 90.  A former child gymnast with excellent calf flexibility.

The improved mobility and comfort from STRYDE leads to an improved training regimen, sure, but only during distraction.  Once the bulky frames are off, what's the long term outcome?  The same.  You're just getting to the same place a little faster.

Too many people on here think that some kind of magic has happened, and that STRYDE with its incremental improvement over past technology solves every problem.  This is how you get @Athens with his severe ballerina foot asking how screwed he is in the general forum because he needs to be able to go back to a physical job in a few months.

Don't get false hopes.  Take this seriously.  I'm not saying don't do it, but know that height is a cruel god to serve before you make that deal at its altar.  It seems more worth it to a young man looking to establish his place in society than it ends up being later on.
