I think it's such an individual decision and certainly what's right for someone doesn't work for someone else. I'm a private person and only wanted to share it with a few family members. The only...

Congrats.

Wow, sounds like your jumping through all the hoops. Hopefully you'll get your surgery date scheduled soon. Good luck to you.
