Short man undergoes surgical procedure to increase his height

A short man went to great measures, undergoing painful surgeries, to gain five inches of height.

Moses Gibson, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States, struggled to find women because of “heightism” from an early age.

In his quest for a taller frame, the 41-year-old tested out drugs that claimed to aid in his growth and even sought out a “spiritual healer.”

Before learning about a painful operation that requires breaking several bones, he was on the verge of giving up hope.

Moses underwent his first round of surgery in 2016 and grew three inches. He now anticipates reaching his target height of 5 feet 10 inches by the end of June after having his second procedure.

After being unhappy for years, he claims the grueling operations, which cost him a total of $160,000, were worth every penny.

I’ve fought with my height—or, if they call it that, ‘heightism,’ being on the shorter side for men, as Moses stated.

“Even when I was in high school, I was always unhappy with my height. As far back as when I was probably like 15, I realised most of my peers were taller than me.

“It started getting to me gradually. I just didn’t feel good about myself, I was unhappy about it most of the time.”

Moses said his height began affecting his confidence and dating life.

He added: “I used to like clothes and shoes, but I started not feeling happy when I put them on and I wanted to look better.

“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.

“People made comments. Sometimes it wasn’t in a mean way or intending to hurt, but they’d say ‘sh*t dude, you’re short man’ or make a joke of it.”

Moses decided he wanted to do something about his height and began searching for ways to grow, turning to some unusual methods.

He explained: “I’m a strong, tough guy, so I was never depressed about it but I went searching to see what I could do about it.
