Hi,
Not trying to sway anyone one way or another, just want to share my observation.
In short:
When I found out about LL, it opened up a new world for me. For months I researched everything I could, obsessively on this forum reading LL diaries, reviews, googling doctors etc. I even scheduled a consultation with Dr. Becker. I thought I was going to become a new man, with a few more cm's. My goal wasn't that ambitious. I just wanted 5-6 cm, I would be more than happy with that. Basically as much as I could get to stay healthy, proportionally normal, not fk up any biomechanics, minimise the chance of complications and not have people notice it as much. (or not at all)
The day came that I had the consultation, but due to travel delays I could not make it to the consult in time. I was furious, because I knew it would be months before I could see dr Becker for a consult. Went back home and stared at the email for the rescheduling date for a while, closed the laptop and though "I'll confirm a date later".
Went back to regular life and forgot about LL for a while. And to be honest, as I distanced myself from the forum, research etc more, I feel I don't need the surgery anymore. I was 'too deep' into it if that makes sense?
Yes being taller definitely give you (a lot) more "status", girls find you more attractive, your dating pool is larger and makes life just that much easier. However, in this life I have to confidence my way through it and make the best of it.
Maybe in the next life I'll be 190cm and play life on easy mode.
Wish you guys good luck with your LL journey, it does make me happy reading the success stories. Feels like a win for all of us.
Hope you guys reach the height you all want and recover safely.
