I got to thinking how really great it is to read posts from people of

all ages who are going through this; youngsters whose moms are

writing in, women who are going through this with their boyfriends

support, us aged folk, married or not who are beyond 40!! I give a

lot of credit to everyone and particularly those older folks who are

going through this later in life. What a decision. I know i could

have lived with my smile, my bite, i could eat, talk, swallow,

breathe, not that everything was 100% comfortable, but manageable. I

think back to how my parents NEVER considered this surgery as an

option, but have fully supported me as an adult going through it.

THey thought i was beautiful just the way i was, short chin, gummy

smile and all. Many of these traits run in the family. Many of my

friends had the same response, why are you actually doing this, we

think you look great. All i can say is, kudos to everyone and i hope

that all who are in process have very good results. I was lucky to

speak with two patients of my surgeon early on in the process and

just to hear in their voice how happy they were with their decision

to go through with surgery, was a big deciding factor for me. Off to

slurp down my sherbert! katie
