growth pills or surgery? any advice?

Italian44 · 08-14-2004, 10:04 AM

Hey guys, ive been wondering lately about growth. Do u all know of any height pills that work and are safe, or surgery?? Im only 5'5, and im pretty stocky, which can be unattractive. Im 18, so i wont be growing much taller probably. But i looked online at shoe lifts that can make me look 2.5 inches taller, AND pills. These pills claim they can help u grow up to 4 inches taller. Your thoughts??? U can Instant Message me for quicker response at my AOL screen-name: VenezianPrince. Thanks.

Want to buy a bridge?

Nothing wrong with being short. Muscle looks better on shorter people anyway IMO.

There is no pill that will make taller, or your penis bigger etc. your best bet is to continue with bodybuilding and get wider.

do a google search for rolfing........you will grow an inch or two after a while

**Pirate!** · 08-14-2004, 12:41 PM

Date short women. They will make you feel big and manly.

Flash · 08-14-2004, 12:52 PM

i certainly wudnt waste ur money on pills - surgerys pretty drastic 5'5 not short any way

redspy · 08-14-2004, 12:57 PM

Forget the pills and platform shoes, you're still capable of growing for a couple of years yet. I didn't stop growing until I was 20.

mikeb · 08-14-2004, 01:28 PM

There is no surgery or pill that will make you taller. Do NOT waste your money on any supps that claim to do that.
As for shoe lifts, I imagine they work but (and I know this is easier said than done), maybe you will eventually "grow into yourself". I don't mean physically, but mentally. 18 is very young. Trust me, 10 years from now you will be comfortable with who you are and will appreciate the human being you are.
Everyone has some perceived "flaw" that the wish they could change. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Believe me, the fact that you're 5'5" is a bigger issue to you than anyone else.
Keep banging away. Remember, Lee Priest is about 5'7" and he ain't too shabby (except for last years Olympia...sheesh)
And you still might grow some more anyway.

Rolfing? Sorry but anyone who believes that rolfing will help someone grow has been reading too much hype.

trHawT · 08-14-2004, 02:11 PM

I'm 5'5 1/2" - 5'6" and happy with my size. lol. I'm 25, male.

rule62 · 08-14-2004, 02:13 PM

Rolfing did not make me grow in height, but it really opened up my chest. My before and after pics are startling. Funny thing is I wasn't even after that, I was doing triathlons at that point in my life and trying to get my running gait tweaked. That sort of worked, but I really got an impact on my upper body. I am a big believer in Rolfing, it did work for me. I imagine it could help your height if your alignment is messed up and you slump over for some reason.

As for 5'5", I agree with mikeb, we all have some perceived flaw, that no one else cares about but bugs us. 5'5" isn't that bad, I think it is only a little below average. Date shorter women like Pirate said. Or you could get kinky and date really really tall women.

there are no such pills. you could have had growth hormone therapy done years ago but now you are to old for that. you may grow another inch or two. many males don't stop growing in height until early 20's...

**Prince** · 08-14-2004, 04:25 PM

5' 5" is a bit short I am 5' 7" and I know I am short for a male.

You could move to Asia or even Mexico you would be normal height in both countries.

as far as growing more not likely but it is possible.

where boots or some type of shoe that gives you a two inch lift is my best advice, and realize that there is much more to a person than hieght.

just loook at Danny Devito, I believe he is 5' 2" and his height certainly has not hindered him, or look at Dustin Hoffman, he around 5' 6" or so.

my point is you can find a female that is 5' to 5' 2" and you can be successful in life regardless of your height. just focus on other things that you can change and improve.

Well Mike even though you might think you are an expert I know 3 people who have done it and grown about 1.5 inches over a 6 month period.

FYI folks....he's posted this question more than once on my other board. He does this with other weird questions all the time and looks like he just copies and pastes and posts it around. Doesnt seem like he really listens, though, or we would probably take him more seriously. *shrug*

**Pirate!** · 08-14-2004, 08:32 PM

Do you know what the surgery consists of? They break your legs!

A lot! And if fucking hurts!

A lot! You are bed ridden for the better part of a year. How appealing is a man with two broken legs, a bedpan, and a withered body? Fall in love with a dwarf or midget. You will feel huge!

gococksDJS · 08-15-2004, 10:24 PM

the limb lengthening surgery takes the better part of almost 3 years for a full 3". They break your legs then reset them and your legs are in metal braces and you can not walk the entire time. Every 3 weeks or so, you go to the doctor and he turns a screw, which is attached to your bone, about a tenth of an inch and the cartilige slowly grows and fills in the space, which is a very very lengthy process, and even after your done and have the braces removed, there is almost a 30% chance that you will have trouble down the road with the new cartilige being soft and many other problems. Even if you did get this surgery and it was a success, things like squatting, deadlifting and any movement involving placing extra weight on your legs is a no no for almost 8 years. Wanna learn more about it? Intern for an orthopedic surgeon, you will realize how horrible this process really is.

Bro...you need to calm down. First of all, I never said I was an "expert" on anything let alone rolfing. You wanna belive that this makes people taller..you go for it man. But I challenge you to show me proof.
And what is this "hater" shit??? Lighten up. I guess I'm too old for these days where if you DISAGREE with someone you're a 'hater". WTF????

you said that anyone who believes rolfing works has been reading too much hype..and I said I have seen it work! I dont care if you believe it or not. I was offering the poster a suggestion, not you. I don't have to prove anything to you.

What a stupid topic. If your short, your short. If your tall, your tall.

If your incredibly good looking, talented, charming and intellectual like myself, then your perfect
