My height affected my dating life- Moses recounts
Moses shared that he has always been displeased with his height since he was in high school and has even gone as far as affecting his dating life, but after his surgery, he has finally gotten himself a girlfriend.
“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 was my self-confidence in general, and with the ladies. It affected my dating life.,” he said.
After searching for years for the best and long-lasting solution to his problem, Moses found out about the surgery when he got to college and knew that he would definitely get it.
The man with new determination and aim started working as a software engineer during the day and Uber driver at night. He eventually gathered $150,000 dollars for the surgery.

Moses has now done the surgery but has to use a height lengthening device to help pull the cut born apart and help his body to build a newborn tissue which will fill the gap and then get his 5ft 10in height.
“So I’m looking to go to 5’10. I’ll be happy at 5’10. If my body and everything else allows me to go three inches [5’11] then even better. You go home and you have a week or two for some healing to happen before you get the device to start lengthening,” Moses explained.
