Some of the responses in this discussion resemble the kind of foolish remarks that were echoed in the previous years of this community.
No, you need far better justifications for pursuing a procedure that necessitates a career hiatus for most individuals, financial loans or years of saving, poses risks of various types of embolism, threatens complications, misalignment, infections, is likely to lead to early arthritis, will permanently affect your athletic performance, and takes years of your life to completely recover from and move past (and may very well entail additional surgeries).
177.5cm is undeniably tall. The global average male height is 170cm, and that figure is probably inflated as it depends on self-reported statistics. I’m not concerned if anyone feels short at 177.5cm because they’re from the Netherlands or somewhere. The reality is not a topic open for debate. Your personal experience is, but that can be addressed without jeopardizing this much.
You require a significantly better reason and to conduct much more thorough research if you wish to undergo CLL at heights such as these. “Feeling slightly short” does not qualify.
And with a mother as diminutive as yours, you, poster from two years ago, should feel quite fortunate not to have ended up below 175cm. Given that you never returned, I hope you have moved past this insecurity of yours and recognized your blessings.
