I want to add a post script to the entry above. I don't think I'm back in my element 100% yet, so I think that's why I'm still a little behind the curve in the dating game. I still have some muscle/mass to gain before I'm back at my pre-LL physique, so I think subconsciously I still feel like I'm not up to par. But I have been experiencing some positive attention. I don't want to dissuade anyone from going through with this. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Now for the actual update. I recently saw almost all of my immediate and extended family for a wedding. I haven't seen most of them in at least a year. My 89 year old grandmother was actually the first to say or notice anything. It's funny how sharp older people can be with certain details. My dad also kept saying "It seems like you've grown". I figured he would be the one to notice if anyone did, since we were almost exactly the same height before this procedure. So far, I've been playing it off. I've said things like "oh, I guess its all the protein I'm taking" etc. and he hasn't pressed the issue. My brother, who is an M.D., seemed quite accepting. He found out about it about half way through the procedure and was initially concerned for my health. We talked on the phone a few times throughout my lengthening and recovery phase, and he realized I hadn't made the decision irrationally or spur of the moment. We both struggled with our heights growing up, and I think he is genuinely happy for me at this point. So long story short, yes it is possible to hide the procedure from family/friends, but I would honestly recommend telling those that are close to you. They will understand. I plan on telling my parents in the future.
