People are still doing this? That’s an awful lot of expense and pain to go through for something that may have only intrinsic value. Maybe your fortunes will change for the better, maybe not. Those experiencing no change might want their money back, but then, you can’t give back any new growth, can you. That is Elective Surgery that probably won’t be covered unless a Psychologist supports it.

I’m a 5’8” guy who lied to myself, the DMV, the Navy, my Doctors for years. I told everybody I was 5’10”.
Then one day at a doctor’s appt. a young, cute Nurse Assistant put me on one of those old fashioned metal scales with the sliding discs, and she (loudly!) declared I was 5’8” !! I about died, right then and there. “There must be some mistake!”
It was then, I knew it was time to stop lying to myself and that nobody else really cared one way or another.

I am 6’ exactly. My brother is an inch or so shorter. He tells everyone, insists actually, that I’m 6’2” so that he can say he’s 6’. Lol. He’s actually a good bloke so I never argue in company. I guess it’s a harmless delusion.

I used to be 5’6”, and I found out a few years ago that I was 5’4”. I shrunk.
I hate getting old….
