Hello! Just wanted to submit a thread to introduce myself. I've been reading posts on VST for a couple months now, but would like to start interacting as my surgery date is less than a month away. Such a whirlwind of emotions... Excitement (that's about 90%), a little bit of simultaneous fear and hope. I've been contemplating this for many years, and am now more than ready to take the plunge. I'm in the healthcare industry myself, which is both helpful and harmful, but I know without a doubt this is the right thing for me now. Biggest concern isn't complications, but replacing the emotional eating I've done for so many tears with healthier outlets. Any tips on how you have handled this or plan to handle if would be appreciated. Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear back from some of you!
