Congratulations!!
I have your same starting height, it would be awesome to reach your same achievment.
¿ How do you feel with your torso vs leg proportions? ¿ Would you mind uploading a pic?
You are definitely one of the most succesful LL's stories we have seen here in a long time.

Hey i figured I'd make a course for your guys and make it available on Udemy since I noticed not everyone is able to reach 15.6cm
in the course I will include LL hacks, how to overcome certain obstacles, and yea pretty much an entire guide
ya i'll post a pic when my right catches up with my left but my proportions are amazing, will NOT be doing arm lengthening :)

I see that as my Tibias recover I won't be posting on here as much and eventually forget and move on and so, I want to create something that will be there as a guide for you guys forever. I am going to create a video series course

That being said, let's start an FAQ section ask your questions so I can add some general questions into the introduction section of the course
I'll keep building up the FAQ based on you guys. I have about one more year on this forum and then when my rods come out I will most likely move on. My life is already amazing. Sometimes I cry tears of happiness to appreciate how far i've come. It's really possible guys it can be done

Update: Officially off the cane so i'd say it took about 4 weeks of a re break and nail removal to go from cane to no cane
I do have a limp working on my walking balance and strength
should be back to normal gait in about 3 weeks

Hi MyEvolution, I am going to do LL surgery with Paley this summer, and I am working on finding a place to stay in West Palm Beach. Do you live in one of the recommended hotels from Paley's list? How long you stayed there and how much you pay for the stay? Did you ask for the Paley rate? (In Paley's FAQs brochure he mentions we can ask for the Paley rate.)

Thanks!

Alright guys so at this point i’m roughly around 6.2cm on my right leg and 7.6cm on my left got 3 weeks left of lengthening to go

SO this gives me enough time to create a thorough course guide for you guys

To hide my face i’m gonna be wearing a Spiderman mask, blurring my face is too annoying

Please add to this if you feel

There will be
An intro section
Managing expectations
General FAQ & lodging

Femurs
How to prepare 1 month before
1-8cm guide
Post op what to expect
Hacks and tips

Tibias
How to prep
1-5cm
5+ cm guide
Hacks to get really flexible

Thats what im thinking for the structure
This course is really for you guys so lmk what you think
Next year this time my rods will be out and I probably wont be on her anymore

Hope ive helped you guys as much as i could

By the way, was just thinking about this -- they said you can have the rods removed after one year... but is it one year post-surgery, post-lengthening, post-consolidation?

Hey man, you said you won't be here after rod removal....But I sincerely request you to keep us updating about your life...Personally I'm more of interested in the after effects of a successful ll....Also I would like to witness your journey towards athletic normal lifestyle...
Maybe I'm asking for a lot but....That's what I sincerely wish....
You are almost there!

Power to you!

MyEvolution,

Thank you so much for writing this diary!
I'm at 5'4 (lower than 97% men in the US), as a result, my success rate with high quality woman is probably the inverse ~3% lol
Your journey is truly an inspiration and make me 100% want to do the surgery (still working to get that $$).

I will definitely buy your class and use it as my bible when the time comes!

In that class, would be awesome to have the following sections:
1) For someone who have 1-2 years before the first surgery, what preparation (diet, vitamin, exercise and etc) can be done to get maximum height, minimize pain/complication and minimize time recovery?
2) Learning Lessons. Like if you have to repeat the entire process, how would you do it differently to make the journey easier?
3) Recovery process. I assume your goal is 100% function recovery, so what are the challenges and things you do to get there...
5) After gained 15cm, your parents, relatives, close friends (guys & girls) and ex girlfriends will notice. What do they ask? How do you respond? I assume there will be few people whom you decide to share, and others prefer not to share about the surgeries.

Really appreciate your contribution. God bless!

Updates:
Life is pretty trippy back home ngl
Every single person I have met has noticed my height.  Its weird cause when i did femurs no one noticed but now EVERY SINGLE PERSON says WOAH HOLY   UR LIKE 6’ dude howd u get so tall

I guess from 5’5-5’8 isnt noticable cause short —> normal vs 5’8–> 5’11 normal —> tall
Especially since everyone keeps saying i’m 6’ ive accepted that i’m 6 now
Havnt been able to go out alot back home and enjoy my height cause of corona but its still amazing feeling. I dont regret pushing myself because if i didnt get that last inch i woulda been a lil shorter than my friends who say they are 6’ but i am a little taller than them and it feels damn amazing to finally not only be good looking, but TALL as well. Ive always been that good looking shoet kid. Oh he’s good looking.. but he’s short. Oh he’s good at this.. but he’s short. Oh hes successful for his age.. BUT hes short. NO MORE!! I am now the same height as my 6’ proclaimed friends (lowkey i know they arent 6’ lmaoo im like 5’10 and a half 5’11 but ill accept it)

I walk okay right now but ppl have caught me limping
I had to give an excuse
Some ppl said dude u did surgery or what howd u get tall

I told them this story
“When i was a teen i NEVER had a growth spurt unlike all of you. So i checked with my dr. And he said my growth plates havnt fused which is rare but considering i didnt have a growth sourt it made sense. So he gave me HGH and i got lucky and grew! “ side effects is you lose a lot of weight, just like how in highschool the fat kids become tall and skinny, and you are also temporarily weaker because your muscles are longer and need to catch up”
Also i have tight calfs so i gotta stretch
They believe it
Their next question is usually can I do it too? I say idk get ur bones checked but if u had a growth spurt (which everyone has had) chances are slim to none

Come to think of it wtf everyone had a growth spurt as a teen and I didnt? Not fair but cant complain cause i got to select the height i want lol lifehack

Anyway ask specific questions if you guys have i’ll update. But
It was worth it, so so worth it. Cant wait to wear lifts and be like 6’2 LOL

Im unsure about the course tutorial because it would rewhire a lot of comittment in time to teach enough that one would benefit from but if support for the idea grows I might do it

This is the best decision I ever made
Yes sometimes I do cramp and sometimes i do limp (even now) the body gets tired especially when u try to keep up with normal friends but its so worth it. Everyone says i’m 6’ which is funny cause I know im 5’11 but wtvr it makes me feel like all those extra hours really paid off. I finally not only dont think about my height, My height has become an advantage now. Not even wearing lifts and I am free and whole now I love it
I wish i can guide you all through this i wish there was a non profit that just somehow created wealth and was able to pay for this surgery for everyone and it was tied in with a coaching program
NO ONE, not even you reading this deserves to have to put up with being short forever. It is a living nightmare and we shouldnt be punished like this. I love you all and hope you keep fighting until u get the chance to get taller because it is worth every second of pain and sacrafice.

In the end, the grass truly is greener. Its almost a dream writing this

And yes i’ll upload some pics i actually have taken pics i’ll share them with you guys

That is correct! 5’6 would have been a great starting point, but i wouldnt have done this in the first place if i wasnt planning on going all the way
5’6–> 5’9 is def way better than 5’4&1/2 —> 5’8 but that was never the plan
I woulda been content with my life but
Tbh LL is one of the hardest things ive ever had to do in my life and for the amount of sacraficing to go on this journey it would only be worth it to end up super happy, which woulda been 5’11-6’1 (with a 5’5&1/2 - 5’6) starting point
5’9 is cool
But its not like a 5’11-6’1 different ball park
Its like going from a charmander in pokemon
To a charmeleon, and stopping there
No
You wanna go for the charizard
