    Because I’m still young enough that somebody I’d be likely to date probably would have about that much time before such back problems would crop up… well, assuming they try to do at least a bit of physical activity every other day or so.

    I guess if that last part was not the case, then the back problems due to uber booba would occur roughly presently, so, semi-touche on that.

      You can’t really tell from looks alone. I went to school with a girl who got a breast reduction at age 16 due to back problems. It didn’t look crazy or anything or maybe she hid it well, but it was just some issue she had that no one knew about or would have guessed.

        My old roommate back in the 90s did the same thing. She gave all of us “boys” a before photo before though lol. She was nice.

        Her back problems got way better after.

        Huh, that seems like a fairly rare occurence that you’d have to get it at age 16, but I do know that absolutely does happen.

        … and/or me being from the US and your registered instance being… a Denmark instance?

        Ya’ll probably have actual healthcare over there, lol, and maybe such procedures are somewhat more common?

          Yes, it was covered by health care. It’s not common that early in life, but I think it makes sense to get it sorted out as soon as possible before it makes the issue worse. I have never thought much about it, but in hindsight I think it must have been hell for her to go through.
