Need help mentally going through with surgery

[Prøphet]

I’ve accepted a long time ago that if I want to have a happy life, I’m going to need a couple surgeries. It is impossible for me to be happy with my life when I look the way I do, so I require surgery in order to make any sort of progression through my life. However, I’m an extremely anxious and risk-averse person with “abused dog” syndrome. I’m basically a big pussy when it comes to things that scares me, and surgery is at the top of that list: surgery scares the absolute shit out of me.

So I wanted to ask to anyone who had the balls to go through with your own surgeries, did you feel the panic I feel right now as my first surgery is starting to materialize and become a real thing that’s happening? How did you deal with it, and what stopped you from pussying out? I logically know that surgery is going to massively improve my life, but when it comes time to actually physically do it, I know my body will want to refuse, but my heart wants to do it.

what surgeries u need

I’m taking steps toward strabismus surgery which should happen in the following months, and then I want bimax by my early 20s (18 now). I’ll probably have a couple more surgeries but these are the major invasive ones.

was expecting perfection, ain’t no perfection in plastic surgery. not botched or anything but feel like a different person after

Just had 4 surgeries at the age of 18.

The actual surgery was so easy, even tho I was (kinda) awake.

The recovery is the most annoying but, but ur drugged up so u feel fine.

Honestly it was a lot easier than you’d think

mirin bro I’m 18 too

I’m mostly freaked out by the general anesthesia, they’re gonna have to intubate me and all that shit I’ve never done it before

Plus they’ll have to put stitches inside of my eyeball and then readjust it once I’m awake fuckkkk man

Bruh general anesthesia is way better than local with sedation.

All u gotta do is sleep.

I could literally feel shit drilling in me, but still I want in pain so I was chilling.
