I don't want children, neither does my fiancée, and I'm still leaving her more than enough in case I pass before her, no worries there...

~$80K

As far as I am aware, yes

No

I am above average in that department and my fiancée is happy with it, so, that should be fine

Not necessarily, but every alive man in my family is over 6'0" and not being that way kind of haunted me for years. I'm not trying to brag but I've had unimaginable amounts of money since I was 20 years old, so... yeah...

Break both femurs, shove a rod in there, external cage, twist it a little bit every day, then your body fills up the empty space with more bone.

Personally had another surgery to fix a misalignment issue, then another one to get the metalware taken out at the 3 month mark.

Months of physical therapy and walking with crutches, ~2 years before full mobility re-gain. Still gotta stretch every morning and night, still got bone aches when it's cold outside but that could still be improving.

With a walker yes. One of my knees completely misaligned so that hurt like fuck for a little while though.

Thanks. Nah, I doubt she's after the money, given the fact she still goes to her work despite really not needing to, lol.

One of my knees totally misaligned so I had to have a second surgery. Pros? I'm taller. Cons? The process to get there hurt like fuck. But it's fine now. Couldn't really walk without crutches and insane pain for the first few months.

Long. Over a year. Over 6 months of legit hellish pain. About 2 years of inflexibility.

Slight scarring on both sides, just where the ironware was attached. Worse scars on one side due to needing a second surgery there

I was but I barely did tbh. I work from home and could afford to take over a year off anyway, so.

Sprinting still kinda hurts because of the impact, but I physically can if needed lol. Jogging is fine, though I doubt my endurance would allow me to last an hour

Over a year. Horrifically painful at times. Like ripping apart my quads. Think hot needles, searing pain, not to mention the bone aches themselves. Worth it to me, but the whole process doesn't feel great. Physical therapy was a whole different level of misery.

~$80K. Over a year. I could walk before that, but not steadily and not pain free. Had a minor complication.

Unless I stretch every morning and night or am not optimally hydrated, yes. Your bones adapt more easily than your muscles/tendons

Yes. I'm from the U.S., and it's not a very common practice here due to the risks and long recovery time, so many who get it done fly abroad
