Hey guys. I realize in some ways this post might seem absurd with my current height, but this isn't a troll post, and I just ask that you hear me out and not dismiss me from the start. I've thought about posting here for a long time, and I genuinely want some thoughts and input on my situation in regards to leg lengthening.
I'm 21 years old, male, and 6'0. Throughout roughly the first half (13 to almost 17) of my teen years and the majority of puberty, I struggled severely with Anorexia. It's not relevant so I don't want to get too into it, but towards the end I was in really bad shape and virtually emaciated, so I was hospitalized and put into treatment. I recovered, but as a result of all of the malnutrition, I stunted my growth. I've talked to various doctors, and it's as confirmed as it can be at this point. Especially when compared to my extremely tall family. Dad is 6'3.5, Mom is 5'11. I'm the eldest child of four, and my younger brothers (19, and 18) are 6'5 and 6'4-ish. They literally look down on me and I don't even feel like we're related sometimes. My younger sister (16) is 6'0 and my height. I grew very little height-wise during puberty compared to most. Before I started restricting and the issues began I was around 5'7.5, grew to 5'9 during the malnutrition years, then 3 more inches after I began getting healthier. I can't really describe how much this gets to me, and I have so much regret and shame from this. This isn't how things should've been, and it sucks knowing there's pretty much nothing I can do. Besides possibly LL.
If I ever get to the point it's no problem financially, would LL be viable? And would a good number of doctors still realistically accept me despite my height? I know some suspect mental issues and "height neurosis" if people are tall, but would that hypothetically make things difficult in my case? I've read the lengthening process is somewhat safer/less risky for taller people, but is that true? Is there anyone who was 5'11-6'0+ who lengthened, and if so, how did it go for them? Sounds silly maybe, but I also wouldn't mind hearing what others think all of this specifically. If you were me, in my situation, what would you do?
