I'm really excited and reading everything people have been saying in their threads has helped me put some perspective on how awesome this decision is. Does anyone have any advice on life in your early 20's after the surgery? I'm scared that all those people offering support now will change their minds after the surgery. Also, any stories about dating?
Thanks so much!!

Hey Andrea--
I had my surgery yesterday. I'm 24. Don't be freaked out. I was sooooo SCARED on Wednesday, was balling my eyes out yesterday morning. After the surgery, I felt better. Hell, I feel pretty good now. I think our age gives us a pretty strong advantage in the healing department, so yay for that! My main motivation for this surgery was so that I can get healthy enough to have children in the next few years. My fiance is really supportive of the decision. Life will go on pretty much unchanged except for the food part. I still love video games, partying, etc. ;)
