P.S. they did this in Gattaca and the contraptions on Ethans legs looked identical to what was on this kids forearm
Yeah. I know. Thats the movie that keeps popping up in my head whenever I think about this entire damning issue. Btw, its been a while since I seen that movie, but didn't they have to make him taller by a few inches? And most especially, in the movie, it seemed like they made him a few inches taller in a matter of a week or two. Thats what the movie made it seem like. But then again, I think they had to make him shorter - cause Ethan was too tall and the guy they were replacing was shorter and so they had to cut his legs down, surgically.

a national height craze in China that has people lining up to be surgically stretched or to purchase torture rack-like stretching machines
Do stretching machines even work???

In 83 I was at SCH and the kid in the next bed was having his forearm extended (birth defect).

He had what looked like a small scaffold built around his forearm and it was screwed directly into the bone at both ends. On a fairly regular basis they would quite literally turn a screw to lengthen the "scaffold" and we're talking a millimeter maybe less. TRX is right about this taking forever! I forgot to mention that the bones are obviously broken.

It takes so long because you have to wait for the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to slowly stretch without causing damage or to much pain (a very relative term here).

Let's just say I was happy I wasn't him.
I don't know man. I hear you and I understand where you're coming from. If I was 15 years of age right now. I would've gone the direction of getting the human Growth Hormones to give me a few more inches. Even if it meant injecting them every day. Taking injections everyday I can handle and seems like a pretty manageable duty to follow.

But this surgical procedure is way too disabling and far too extreme. Besides, It will disable me for too long. Meaning I'll be away from work and I won't be able to walk. Meaning I can't work out. etc etc etc. Stuck to a hospital bed for three months, maybe more :(

Height might help but confidence helps a huge amount more.

Any surgical procedure would be VERY painful and lengthening your legs 3 inches would make you look distorted. Besides, you would have to get a lot of new pants.

I would not rule it out if I was 5'4". They break the bones, then put a rack on, the bones grow to meet the ends, but they keep turning the screws so that the ends do not meet, so the legs get longer and longer. On the show I watched about it, a young woman went from 4'4" to 5'4". I could not really understand why she went that far, 5'0" is plenty tall enough for a woman, though it is different for a guy.

Whether you would look distorted and out of proportion or not depends on you proportion now. If you have short legs and a regular torso now, it would not be a problem, particularly if you only add three inches. It would be painful and expensive though.

Wow. She gained a full ten inches. Damn. And I'm thinking I'm lucky if I get three inches. Hmmm...maybeif I'm loaded full of morphine, I won't feel any pain ...

Yes. It is different for a guy. Though, it still very much applies to women. The rule that Height equals beauty. Height meaning longer legs. When was the last time you checked out a woman because she had really long legs? Though. It applies it is very important to men too. And I think it is equally just as important to women in the real world when it comes to love, relationships and life.

How long did it take for her to go from 4'4 to 5'4 ?

I bet if there was a procedure to increase the length of your penis - just like this procedure to increase the length of your long bones - you'd care alot more about this issue and all the guys would be very determined to do it as well

When they literally turned the screws on his "scaffold" and pulled his bones a little farther apart - did the kid feel alot of pain? Cause it was just a millimeter adjustment. Why couldn't they give him morphine or something to kill or dull the pain when they made the adjustment?

Anyways, does anyone know the official medical term they use to call this procedure or surgery? Maybe I can do a search about it on the net for more info. Maybe they offer it in Canada.

I dunno. I keep thinking about it. If its something thats gonna be with me for the rest of my life. Maybe I'll consider it. Perhaps, a few truckloads of morphine and this will be a piece of cake.

Besides, everyone is freakin' 6'0 or 6'2 nowadays anyways...grrrr!!! Especially all the pretty girls! grrr.

This not unlike getting a boob job or a hair transplant. And everyone nowadays is getting something adjusted or fixed for the sake of appearances. Especially in hollywood.

Just lately, Ashlie Simpson got herself a nose job. It looks alot better now. She has a much tinier nose. Was it worth it? She's got a better looking face now, for life. Was it worth it. Maybe.

Besides, as for the pain. I can tell you a thousand other things that I endure thats alot more painful. Like rejection. And this procedure won't last forever. It will eventually be over. And living a life full of rejection can last the rest of my life. Am I a man or a mouse? This is just a test of my strength and masculinity and character. Thats the way I choose to look at it. Besides, the doctor has an unlimited supply of morphine...

I just wonder how much this entire procedure would cost in terms of finances.

And how I'm going to justify it to my boss. Um, I want to be taller so I can be more productive at work. Be able to reach those high shelves, you know, boss?

Besides, I'm still young. I'm 29. I still have a whole life ahead of me. And 20 years from now. I'm going to look back and ask myself, why I didn't have the guts to do it. What could've happened. Who's attention I could've captured. How it might've changed my life. And what could've been and why I didn't just do it while I still had the chance, and not when its too late.

Dash maybe its cause your into tall chicks

Why not explore with petite woman then your problems fixed !
Yes. I DO like tall chicks. Okay okay okay...I LOVE tall chicks! Who doesn't love longer legs and more body? Why restrict myself to short girls?

And why should I expect a girl to restrict herself to short guys? Girls love tall guys for the same exact reasons. More body. etc etc.

So I'm sure you're guilty of the same thing, Alexis. Your into tall guys too, sometimes...

But its true, I am into tall chicks. All the time. Not sometimes. ALL the time.

Maybe I'm old>>>but why don't you just go out and get yourself some platform shoes? It could add 5-7" and it is a lot less painful, unless, of course you fall :)

I already do.

But once the platform shoes come off and you manage to get in the bedroom with a tall chick - you have to take off the shoes eventually and she finds out your real height and dumps you the next day. That is, if she doesn't kick you out that very minute, onto the street.

Either way, once she knows how short you really are. She'll be totally turned off to an entire relationship with you. Any pride, high regard of your intellect, personality and physical beauty you have, high opinion and physical attraction will vanish into thin air the second she finds out how short you are.

And don't try the "once she gets to know you, she'll realize the genuine beauty of the good person you really are." line.....for most relationships are grounded upon physical attraction. Its all chemistry. If you're not attracted to the person physically, then intellect and personality don't matter. There's nothing else that matters.

I know this because every girl i asked told me this. So the "when she gets to know the real you, she'll see the real beauty of who you are." doesn't really work.

Don't believe me? okay..

Try using that line, "when you get to know the real her, you'll see the real beauty of who she really is" when checking out a 300 lb fat woman...

will it work on you when you consider a future, or a relationship of any kind, when checking out that 300 lb fat woman?

I didn't think so.

Dash, have you considered walking around on tippy toes? Or when out on a date with a taller women have her walk on the road and you walk on the sidewalk? Perhaps you can tell the taller women you were once 6'6", and had your legs shortened by one foot so your winkie could drag on the ground.
