The things he said made me kinda reconsider my choice
When ur blinded by the dream of not being short anymore, u kinda ignore the consequences
His text made me somewhat emphasize with how he felt with his legs and im not really sure if i still want this
Here is the text:
I can't complain given the fact that I lengthened 8cm in a single segment and have 6 foreign objects lodged into my bones. My legs are nowhere near as functional as what they were before. But I can run (I've never tested a long jog or anything), lift weights, and squat down like a slav, so I can't complain. I have a good leg and a bad leg. Most patients tell me they have the same, but everyone's story is different. And sometimes the good leg and bad leg swap for a while. (There is a lot of luck involved in this surgery, keep that in mind.)
My good leg, I don't think I ever get much pain at all minus maybe a couple of soft tissue flare-ups. For my bad leg, I haven't done an x-ray since I returned from Russia, but I'm 90% sure it's just pre-ballerina. Probably a result of me being lazy and not keeping up with my stretching. But it is interesting how my bad leg doesn't seem to care about stretching for the most part. I credit most of it because I've been super busy these past two years and haven't been working out. Your balance will be totally different, that much I can tell you.
I'm not going to praise or recommend the surgery since it will come at a great cost for the rest of your life. I've personally watched it destroy others. I see people downplaying the surgery on this forum, and the patients I did the surgery with would often laugh at some of the dumb stuff that gets posted here. Tremendous power always comes at a great cost, period. The people that did well from my group already had nothing to lose. We were all 5'1-5'4, so we needed the height and were willing to pay. The people that did poorly from my group were those that never needed the surgery in the first place or gave up early. Not a good sample size with about 8 or so patients, but that's what I observed. But I also noticed the people that did poorly were in a limbo state in terms of their education and career, so height alone wasn't going to fix their problems. Despite the problems I listed above, my life vastly improved because of the surgery. I would do it again.
