US: A man named Moses Gibson aged 41 from Minnesota, spent extravagantly around $1,70,000 to increase his height by five inches through two leg-lengthening surgeries.
Gibson’s dating life was not so colorful because of his 5-foot-5-inch frame. He tried various things including medication and a spiritual healer to increase his height.
Mr. Gibson in talk with Kennedy News and Media said, "I just didn't feel good about myself”.
Further, he said he was subjected to “heightism”.
He tried all possible ways to increase his height, he took pills that promised to make him taller, and spoke to a spiritual healer who told him that he could increase his height if he properly put his mind to it. But none worked and that is when he decided to go for a pricey and painful leg-lengthening surgery.
“I was unhappy about it most of the time, it was my self-confidence in general, and with the ladies. It affected my dating life. I used to put things in my shoes to gain a little bit of height, but it wasn't very much”, said Mr. Gibson.
According to the reports, Gibson underwent his first surgery in the year 2016 which added 3 inches to his height.
He managed to save $75,000 for the surgery by working as a software engineer and an Uber driver for three years.
After the first procedure, I was happy with it to some extent, but it was always in my mind that I wanted to do a second one to complete it." the man shared. "I'm a high achiever. I've got the money and I can finish the journey."
In March 2023 Gibson underwent second surgery which added 2 inches to his height, he spent $98,000.
"I'll be happy at 5-foot-10," he declared. "But if my body and everything else allows me to go 3 inches to get to 5-foot-11, then even better!", said Gibson.
Addressing the media, Gibson said that the surgeries have boosted his confidence to talk to women.
After the first surgery, I became less hesitant and less worried about the result when talking to women. I now have a girlfriend," he proudly proclaimed. "I also started wearing shorts and taking full-body pictures, which I never used to.
He further said, "In my mind, when I'm done with this part I can just be free," he said of the extra inches he's expected to gain following the second procedure. "I just won't care about my height anymore. I'll be satisfied with what I have."
Mr. Gibson does not regret his decision to a pricey and painful leg-lengthening surgery.
