So, from what I've been reading in this forum, if you do the surgery, you will experience some kind of side effect, like possible arthritis, loss of athleticism, and things like this.

Is this correct?

[Medium Drink Of Water]

Yes.  LL is not 100% beneficial.

[lokariototal]

And if you do more than 3 inches you will 100% have problems, right?

[Medium Drink Of Water]

If you do 3 mm you will 100% have problems.  It's all a matter of degree.

At this point in my recovery I can’t see myself running anywhere near as fast as my personal best before surgery ever again, but I’ll be sure to hop on here and say something if that changes. With that said I don’t care about running so I’m very happy that I did LL.

What do you feel is stopping you from reaching your best? Is your bone not fully recovered, or is it something mechanical?

Death is preferable to being short, and I say this unironically as a person that has a good family, career, and education.

Once I have enough saved up hopefully Stryde 2 or some other reputable weight bearing nail comes out and there will be no hesitation on my part to go with the surgery.

It is better to have love than to have riches. I will try my best to have both, or die trying.

Unless you're a literal midget (under 5' as a man), this is crazy.

I haven’t tried running with the nails out yet, but before I got my nails removed I had pain in my lower femurs from the impact whenever I tried to run. My heart rate also got dangerously high after just five minutes of running continuously. I was only able to do timed 800m runs and they took over 6 minutes. Before surgery I could run 1600m in under 6 minutes easily.

I’ll hold off on fully judging my situation until my I’m cleared to run after nail removal, but based on my experience before nail removal it doesn’t seem like I can run very well anymore.

This happened to me at first too. Heart rate thing returns to normal once you build your cardio back up. I found that when I first started running again I literally forgot how to pace myself because I forgot what normal running effort felt like. Just try running at 40-50 percent effort with big long femur strides and you will be surprised how much ground you are actually covering without burning yourself out.

Trust me once you get to a certain net worth and have no debt money literally does not even matter.

I need to know who loves me for me and not for my money, I'm 5'4 so you can imagine once the 2 surgeries are completed I will be 5'9 (8cm femurs 5cm tibias). Still short, but at least I will be able to relate to the experiences of the common man.

It's not crazy. He's right.

Its all matters until you reach height like 6 ft 1- 6 ft 2( 185-188) and thats it. There no difference in "benefits" between 188 cm tall guy and lets say someone who is 6 ft 4 (193 cm)..

[pandemic_exploiter]

Thanks for the info @BelowTheMean. Yeah I also had serious chest pressure (heart was working hard) when I started running recently, but I've been feeling less and less of it with time. I have that same pain in one of my legs. I wonder if it's something to do with the nail

I think a good reason to do it is just to be taller than most women. You can distinguish yourself in many ways besides height, but there's a threshold height to be dateable for a lot of women imo, which is often just taller than them (for women 5'7 and taller especially). I agree that more height is favorable, but the net effect of every inch gained past 5'9 is way less than the net effect of every inch gained below 5'9. 5'9 is the 99th percentile of height for women in the US

Yes, I just want to be 5'9 and be taller than 99% of women, doesn't matter if I make 6 figures or not when it feels like 25% of women tower over me (5'4), feels like that number is 50% when high heels are involved.

Bro..5 ft 7 is good enough..No need to do 2 surgeries
