Hi
With all due respect, you are wrong
With all due respect, he's really not. I guess that you could make the argument that at what height LL is "justified" and where the line is drawn since height dysmorphia is a very individualized thing (lets be very clear we all have height dysmorphia, that's why we're on this forum) . But everything else he is 1000% right.
When he say's "Here's a few things I learnt from lurking for over a year", these are conclusions that naturally come when you read a lot of diaries and experiences. Go to the diaries, click on the "replies" button and see which ones have the most replies to see mostly "complete" diaries. Read all 25+ pages of replies for at least the ones that are relative to you (internal/external/doctors etc). Yea it will take a while, but it can save your limbs, and I'm really not exaggerating when i say that.
You come to realized that the ones that had the best outcomes had things in common, good doctor, reasonable amount of lengthening, slow lengthening rate, good prep and PT, etc etc. Also when you read the experiences of those who lengthening a large amount and years later are still struggling, hearing them describe it in their own words really makes you rethink this and take it seriously. He hit the nail on the head when he said to think about what they did good and bad, honestly the "bad outcome" diaries will teach you the most.
One last thing. Lets not forget about what the goal of this is. The goal is to get over your height dysmorphia and to be comfortable in your own skin. When it comes down to it people pay money to be taller because of how it will make them feel. Whether you want to feel more attractive, powerful, respected etc. Realize that there are a ton of other ways to get those feelings too. Get your life in order, work out, get a good career, learn social skills, find your passion etc. You better have your life in order and work hard in every other aspect of your life, if not your insecurity is going to shift from height to something else and you will be in an never ending loop of not being comfortable or satisfied with your self.
so I would like to add tip #4- Don't go into this expecting limb lengthening to make your life great. Make your life great and then go into limb lengthening.
The goal is to get this sh!t over with and move on with your life. So work hard, be smart, do this right, and move on and live a happy life.
