Frmamomzeyez 76 Posted June 14, 2018 Well great for you. It is a brave and a tough decision to make to get surgery. Getting healthy is great for everyone at every age 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eliza_n 15 Posted June 14, 2018 Im not so young hahah. I just turned 28 on june 9. So you beat me to it. One of my friends that got it she is 22. I think that its good having it done younger because I believe that a younger person is healthier than someone older because maybe not all have other health issues. (not saying young people dont) but i think its not that common. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emkaybee21 14 Posted June 14, 2018 I agree it’s easier on younger people. I’ve been thinking about it since I was 18, maybe even before. I finished all of my requirements over a year ago and was supposed to have the surgery last year but I chickened out. I’m glad I’m finally going through with it this summer. I’m nervous to go back to college in August though since I’m not having surgery until July and my college is 12 hours away from home. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eliza_n 15 Posted June 14, 2018 Anyone is entitled to getting the surgery as long as the doctors approves of it and if its something that you really want. Because have this surgery its like being reborn all over again.. It will be a journey 2 Frustr8 and emkaybee21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
