How do you know you'll still be you when you get to heaven?

Except that people are the sum of their parts. If you take away their life experiences, how can you say they will be themselves anymore? How is that different from having a lobotomy? You might say that it just removes the darker parts, but leaves the lighter parts, but the dark and the light are still parts of you. You just wouldn't be the same if you took out chunks of your life and thoughts and replace them with whatever another person finds more acceptable.
I'm not the same person I was a year ago, or ten years ago, etc. I'll be different 10 years from now, having gained some experiences and forgotten others. Doesn't bother me here, so I don't see why it would bother me in heaven.
