A Brief History on Myself
It has been long since I felt the need for a height increase. I was just 163.5 cms with my age at 25 years.My family members and friends were way taller than me causing a sort of uneasiness or depression in me.I tried various pills promoted in internet , only to see all failed.Ultimately I decided for the limb lengthening procedures.
Through the internet I researched the different procedures, the cost, the duration and the hospitals.I got one in India and offered at less than $5000 for the whole procedure.Initially I decided for a 10 cm increase, but that would add up to an year.Considering all my personal factors, decided for a 7cms increase through conventional illizarov procedure, but with a double level lengthening in both legs.This would help in decreasing the duration in the external fixators.And the estimated duration for the whole process was 7-9 months.I decided to go for it.
Reading this, i have to ask…are you just shorter than your family or do you have Acondaplasia? My aunt is a midget and stands about 4 feet tall. She also looked into the lengthening and when we discussed it as a family, the risks and PAIN outweighed the few inches it would give her. We all love her for who she is, not how tall she is and you should love yourself too! I’m sure whatever decision you make will be the right one, but remember that God made youperfect just the way you are!~Momma http://savemoneymomma.today.com http://theworldisbeautiful.today.com
I agree,but still I yearn for those extra inches/centimetres that would help me in increasing my self-esteem.I believe my desire should be good enough to take over on the pain and risks.Lets hope the best.
