    I'm so nervous. I'm gonna have my top surgery in about 4 hours now... I never had a surgery before and mostly, I'm gonna be put to sleep! I'm kinda worried about that to be honest.

    However, I'm also so excited for it. I mean, I'll be able to go swimming and go around shirtless, yay! Even though I'll have to wait for the wounds to heal before, which might take some time...

    Honestly, I'm thinking so much that I can't sleep! Anyway, I have to be up by 3, so I don't think I'll bother :lol:

    OOhh sweetie, you'll be fine! (*hug*)

    I had general for my wisdom teeth being pulled, and it's fine. I don't even really recall consciousness slipping away. So it didn't feel weird, or like I was dying, or at all unsafe. I was just breathing, hearing the surgeon make jokes :3, and I kept wondering when I was going to feel medicated, but that didn't transpire.

    I was just out. Way out.

    You'll be fine, bro.

    Thanks :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I actually didn't get to experience it for my wisdom teeth. They just made my jaw numb and started to cut things off, so disgusting xD

    Welp, it's been more than a few hours, so saying good luck on the surgery seems like a moot point right now. But good luck on the recovery and congrats, man.

    Thanks everyone :slight_smile:

    I'm done now, but I just wish I could have seen the results :/ They'll take off the drains and bandages Tuesday, so I'll be able to see what it looks like :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: It went well, even though I didn't sleep at all before and I got sick a few times xP

    Thanks for all the encouraging words, the anesthesia was truly the most terrifying in this xD

    That's so cool. Let's hope the recovery goes well, I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.

    One weird question: does your chest feel any different now?

    No, I almost didn't feel it before since I didn't have much to begin with. The only thing I feel different for now is that it hurts a bit, and tubes are going out of it xD

    But, yeah, I'm pretty sure the results will be good, the clinic I went to is well graded and my chest must not have been difficult to operate on :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
