I guess at least 6 months will hopefully give me time to psychologically prepare for the surgery, if I choose to go ahead.

I had a manic episode after I had surgery (a month after surgery). I had some plastic surgery done (neck lift/chin implant) and I had a hard time sleeping. The insomnia pushed me into a full blow manic episode and I was hospitalized for a month. I'm stable now for the most part and i have a beautiful new jaw line!
