Is there a people who give up mid LL because it’s too painful?

[Medium Drink Of Water]

I know of a guy who stopped at 1.5 cm.  He yelled and pounded the hospital wall.

[RealLostSoul]

Yes sadly I also know someone. You don‘t want to give up you will 100% regret it big time.

[increase]

when I did tibias, on the first day after surgery I regretted it. On the 5th day, that loneliness hit the impression of being crippled when I used to be fine. I say that I suffered more psychologically than physically. I managed to reach 4cm and I regret not going further. Now I'm here wanting to do a femur. The pain Passes the height stays, nothing good is easy. You pay with money and with pain be it mentally or physically.

External or Internal?

I wouldn't be surprised. People use to think that getting all that money for paying the operation and schedule this one are most of the work.
Now i understand when i read some comments saying "this operation is not done for everybody". They were not speaking about money. It's a moderate pain over a long time. But it will stop you to have your nomal life... No more walking your dog, very very complicate to continue your work...
For me is one year lost in my life even if i am happy i finally did it. On the other hand, if i knew all what i am suffering before getting this operation, i would have probabily cancelled it.

Is it difficult to continue a desk job?

How many cm did you get per leg? Was it hard towards the end or always hard?

Im actually engineer so most of the time in an office. The problem is that is gonna be hard to go by your own at work, if you have tasks that ask you to move or asked to see other departments, if you have tasks that ask you to drive your company car. In europe a doctor must authorize you to work if you have any pathology. 5 weeks ago, the doctor concluded that I am temporarily unfit for my job (something could happen to me when i am walking with crutches by the company or in the car when i am going to work). So my company are really angry to see me like this, and ask me every 2 weeks when it's gonna end... And even if you are sitted all the time, a lot of time you will be unproductive because of the pain...
It's near 1 year im with crutches and i am very tired of not doing a normal life... Just want it finish fast

Your company FORCED you to get doctor authorization because you looked disabled? Is that not discrimination? Or were you unable to do certain activities because of which you were forced to get doctor authorization?

Did the company find out you did cosmetic surgery?

[QuarkSoup]

10 days ago I talked to a patient who was going to have LON on Femurs in a few days. A week later he had surgery to remove the device.

Let me tell you LON on Femurs is not that painfull in first weeks though. But your muscles becomes so weak after the surgery and there is some discomfort. You always either lie down or sit on your ass and it becomes annoying after some time. I couldn't sit on the toilet for four days after the surgery. I grew 1.2cm so far and my average pain level is like 3/10 , I would give a typical headache 6/10. I don't even take pain killers right now. Pain might start kick in later when I pass like 3cm or something.

So like Dr. Paley says this CLL is an 4th dimensional surgery. There is also time aspect of it. I think this surgery is for people who are really really obsessed with their height.

[Ballerman]

Well, its for people who suffer from height dysphoria. Other people can live with being short.
No person would go through all this for a couple cm more height. The risks are crazy.
The longterm effects uncertain. If your leg stays misaligned, you think it wont impact your knee joint and ankles?
Its like with gender dysphoria where people become transgender. Its hard to understand it unless you suffer from dysphoria...

This is cope, there is a 5’10 guy who did LL even 5’11 to just improve there SMV

[IceTrae38]

What is SMV? I’m new to the LL world 🤣

[EndGame]

What is SMV? I’m new to the LL world 🤣

That's not LL speak, it's dating world slang for Sexual Market Value

[Ballerman]

What is SMV? I’m new to the LL world 🤣

i think it means saxuel market value. so it means how attractive you are in hookup culture 

[IceTrae38]

LOL!!!!! If I was 5”11 I wouldn’t bother at all to do LL. To each their own I guess. There is this guy that’s 182.5 trying for 15cm. He is crazy to go to this clinic with all their backlash.

[Taweel]

But the they had a lot of success stories in the other hand.they hada full package all included,the problem is the surgeon or what?because dr Buldu seems very good,where is the point against this agency?because the 3 stories that got bad?really confusing to choose

[AllinStryde]

Man...if that guy raises his center of gravity 15 cm after a quadrilateral lengthening...Strongman competitions are out of the question.  Even just normal squats and lunges will be out of the question.  Hope he realizes this.  Body mechanics absolutely change. That clinic is good at marketing and of course they'll tell you what you want to hear...but there is a very good reason that every other clinic he visited told him he would not perform as before, because it's the truth.

I would say each to their own regarding height. A person in India probably would call someone in the Netherlands that's 175 crazy for getting the surgery to become average. Maybe this guy hates his height and if he has the means and will to do it more power to him.

[MakinItHappen]

Can you play sport and work out now? Or nah?

He explained that he had reached his potential  and got too big for his height (he was bigger before, lost weight for the surgery). So he didnt have motivation anymore and prob decided to get taller cause he thinks it will help him but idk some people just want to be perfect but dont seem to be in touch with reality. I've seen few more 6' people who want to get this surgery but I dont think they get how serious this is. If it was easy I wouldnt even wait.

Lmfao, I hope he didn’t do externals because they would cripple him. Someone should try to message him to try to post on this site, 100% chance it’s not going well so he will stay quiet to try to get live life taller/crippled to fix his issue

You are still in crutches after 1 year ? How is that possible ? Complications ?

[iwillgrow]

I am not in crunches, just can’t run or jog and can’t walk properly. 1/4 of my bone didn’t grow back and my IT band is torn

Go read my story on halil, I tried to summarize it but he butchered me so much I couldn’t condense it

what a wimp
muh legsies be hurtin eh
give that guy some tramadol already

[readyprecisestryde]

One guy @ Paley gave up in one  month and only grew less than couple of centimeters. He couldn't handle the pain and flew back home.

[LittleMember]

No, i decided to do 8 cm and one leg after the other. So with fitbone it takes a little more than 3 months to do all the LL. But after the LL you still need 1 or 2 months to recover. I needed 2 monthes, and even that it was very hard... i would have needed like 3 months to be fully recovered from the first leg...
At the middle of November i finished LL with the second leg. So if nothing happens, i will be OK by the end of January... so yes... 12 months... So long 


In Europe, it is mandatory to see a doctor to evaluate your health. I was very lucky as i was operated by a doctor in another country they never tried to contrast the information my LL doctor give them. I am thankful that the "lied" on the medical repport. So no, it is no discriminatory. Indeed, everybody must see a doctor every year to evaluate you.

Even for an office/desk job? I have never heard of this. It sounds like a major breach of privacy. So each employee submits to a medical exam every year and the company HR gets to see it?

Do you mind sending me a link to this process please?
