I am going in November 8th.

October 29th 2004 Ok, so I might be 22 years old, but I can't seem to find any young people out there, so I decided to be considered a teen. I am an interior design student, and actually took a year off of school for this. I have a little over a year of school left, and this way when I graduate, I will really be starting a new life! I will post pics soon, I think, but am nervous! I have a little over a week til surgery and am excited. All my friends are supportive, and will be there for me everyday. I look forward to getting to know you guys, and hearing all of your advice. Hopefully you guys will be able to help me survive this!

Welcome.... I'm 23 so Im really not a teen but oh well. Congrats on your surgery... The week before surgery is the worse because you feel excited scared, nervous, happy etc...

this isnt really just a teen forum, its kinda like the YOUNGER generation of wls ppls, lol

Good Luck Melissa! Just imagine all of the wonderful experiences you will have on the flip side, and try not to worry about the surgery itself! You will do wonderful! Be sure to keep us posted on how you are doing! ~Jenny
