I was 35 when I had mine and you bet you will feel tons better!! You won't regret it, believe me~
I hope it all goes well..just do what the doc tells ya~

Best advice...carry a pillow around with you for that first week...its a BIG help...cuz it hurts to laugh, cough, sneeze or breath for a few days..I had the same type as you...the old fashioned way..
