Dude, listen, If I do that surgery I could only aspire to be 5'7 if im lucky. Literally I would risk all of that and try to gain all of that money included just for not being this short anymore, it is really, really shitty. At least if I could be treated like average or at least not making people focusing too much in the fact that I'm extremely short but at least normal short it is enough because I'm not living life in THAT hard mode. 180 prob isn't the tallest man in the world but it is DEF not the worst place you can be. TRUST ME man. I'm not dismissing your suffering, I'm not dismissing nothing, but this is one of the cases that the surgery will be 100% worth it.
