Dag and juju: I've also heard people say it was the best decision they could make for themselves. It couldn't have been an easy decision. I know, because a friend of mine went through it before my very eyes, that it's not easy. However, she had spent her whole life very big. She was happy in who she was to some extent, before the surgery, but I watched her start to feel good about herself, physically.

For her, it was so new that the adjustment period was particularly painful. She made some abrupt changes marriage-wise and career-wise. I think, in retrospect, that she needed to just start over.

I'm asking with all due respect, did you experience that? I was with my friend as she dealt with all of it, but I can't say I really understood it, only because I saw her go through some hard times.

Anyway, congratulations. Just keep taking care of yourselves the best you can. You're already there, you already made a hard decision! Feel good.
