Title: is it possible to get it as a correction surgery on paper?
Post by: stanmarsh on September 03, 2015, 04:55:39 AM

Hello friends

I want to keep this procedure a secret when I get it. If at some point after I'm married, someone tells my partner and she suspects it, can I have it on paper that it was a correctional surgery?

Then I could even show my potential employers about my one year gap in my career without hesitation. I might even be able to keep my current job.

What do you LL patients have in your hospital documents?

It says lengthened and corrected.

You could talk to your doctor and ask him to say it was only a correction. I think he would do that for you.
Something similar was done when I was in Russia with another patient.

Since lengthening is fine afterwards I don't see why the need for mentioning it can be compulsory.

Would a good doctor agree for this Btw?

I do not understand why other people here take no interest in this matter.

Is everyone here self employed and rich and have stable careers? Is everyone ok with telling partner that you got cosmetic LL? I'm a little shy and ashamed of the procedure even though I want it bad

Dr. Peng did that for me.  The paper says "bone exstrophy correction".
