I haven't been posting as much since the moderator altered the format of the forum. Anyway, I'm weighing in my 2 cents regarding LL.
LL is the stuff of nightmare. I went from full of energy, ready to do anything to bedridden, helpless and totally drained. Rozbruch was right, it's not worth it putting your body into overdrive for a year just to gain a few inches. Well my pride won in the end, I bought the visa, the plane ticket and one way token to an unknown future. Pain and pills is my game, not to mention loneliness. I alone bear the responsibility of my action, had I born a little taller I wouldn't have known such surgery exist and would have looked at it with disdain. For those who is of average height and wanting more, be careful what you wish for. Most of the time personally will trump good looks.
I'm short to begin with but I never dream of anything above 7 cm in each section. Now I'm lower my expectation to 6.5cm, after what I'm going through, lengthening my femur is a distant dream. For those who considered LL, do think over and over and over until you realize LL makes no sense.
