On the off chance someone else may wander into this thread looking for advice on the same issue, less that four years from now. I would look at the issue this way: While right now, at 22, I have things I am sure of, I also had things I was sure of at 16. I knew alot about the world and what I wanted in it. At 16 I was retarded. I didn't have a clue about a lot of the things I supposedly 'knew'. I presume at 30 I will have the same revalations about many things I 'know' now. Again at 50, etc. until I croak. I wish I had that knowledge now, but I don't.

So...I try to avoid making decisions that are unecessary and cannot be reversed at any point in the rest of my life. 55% isn't great, and the percentage keeps going up not only because reversals are getting better, but because they're getting better at doing the surgery in a way that makes it easier to reverse. In other words your surgery today might not be as easier to reverse as a surgery 4 years from now, even though the reversal rate went up.
