[Prøphet]

[Prøphet]

Surgery (?)

Don’t wait as long as I did brahs, this shit can genuinely take a year or more depending on your issue to actually happen

 

[Aox Ofwar]

Waiting until you have money or waiting until the surgeon can operate or just planning to get surgery in general but not going through with it

 

[Prøphet]

See above

Maybe it’s worse because mine is functional to health in general as well but yeah just the whole process from getting referred to a specialist to official surgery date, especially if you’re going to a good doctor holy fuck it is a long ass time (for US at least)

Does it really take so long because it's a tedious process or did you postpone the consultations yourself

It’s just because the medical system in my state is fucked I guess, the closest available date for each visit is always months away and I need multiple different visits for accurate measurements so I’m just pissed watching how long it’s taking

Meanwhile I’m just holed up in my room LOL because I can’t even look at people in the eyes without them hating me

What’s the functional reason?

 

[Prøphet]

What’s the functional reason?

Strabismus surgery, there’s a good chance I could have depth perception for the first time from the surgery

And of course they have to worry if it goes wrong there’s a chance of double vision

 

[Idontknow-]

How old are you?

 

[Prøphet]

How old are you?

18

Pretty surreal just watching time accelerate faster and faster fuck why is youth so short

Shit you don’t have depth perception? How does that effect the day to day?

 

[Prøphet]

Strabismus surgery

My family is paying for it if insurance won’t pay for it

 

[Manletsteinberg]

You guys in here need to appreciate this, my family doesn’t pay for anything I had to pay for my own hospital costs when I tore my ACL

 

[Prøphet]

I never have so I can’t catch things from the air, hand eye coordination non existent, have to rely on certain positions to keep a car centered in the lane, etc etc

It’s not too bad since I learned to adapt but I still bump into shit a lot

Oh shit, good luck with the surgery. Are you planning cosmetic surgeries asw?

 

[Acquiescence]

It’s beyond brutal but there’s no other way for poor sub5s

At least you are still in your teens bro

 

[valentine]

why so long are you trying to do it with the best surgeon on the planet

 

[Prøphet]

Yeah absolutely, tbh if they didn’t I would probably take out college loans and just spend them on this

True

I like to imagine anti aging will be so good by our 30s it won’t be as brutal as it might be now looking toward the future

 

[Manletsteinberg]

The medical system for functional surgeries is like this, I’ve been trying to get my tongue tie cut for 5 months they just trap you

 

[Prøphet]

why so long are you trying to do it with the best surgeon on the planet

No but he is one of the best in my state tbf

But fuck it I refuse to let a retard even get near my eyes, don’t wanna tufano myself

 

[Acquiescence]

Yep all we can do is stockpile wealth in the hopes that it actually comes out and is somewhat affordable

 

[Manletsteinberg]

No but he is one of the best in my state tbf

But fuck it I refuse to let a retard even get near my eyes, don’t wanna tufano myself

I’m getting lasik soon

 

[Prøphet]

I’m getting lasik soon

Mirin, I’m too high inhib to do that one man be careful seriously vision is such a blessing even if it’s with contacys

 

[valentine]

yeah no definitely don't try to save money on the eyes, getting tabanned there would be life ruining

 

[Manletsteinberg]

Mirin, I’m too high inhib to do that one man be careful seriously vision is such a blessing even if it’s with contacys

lasik is pretty low risk afaik, isn’t your one riskier? But idk I’m gonna do one eye at a time just in case

 

[Idontknow-]

Strabismus surgery

My family is paying for it if insurance won’t pay for it

That seems dangerous asf

 

[valentine]

is it the one for the eye misalignment? how complex is the procedure i haven't looked into it?

 

[Prøphet]

That seems dangerous asf

It’s just the muscles around the eyes it’s actually pretty safe

Plus if you saw how I look and what Ive been through you would do it without second thought, literally have my eyes looking in different directions shit is fucked

 

[Idontknow-]

Nah I dont know how you look, if you dont mind why not

 

[Prøphet]

is it the one for the eye misalignment? how complex is the procedure i haven't looked into it?

Yeah it’s actually not as bad as I thought once I researched

They don’t even go in the eye they just cut the clear layer and cut the muscles outside to shorten it

 

[valentine]

Yeah it’s actually not as bad as I thought once I researched

They don’t even go in the eye they just cut the clear layer and cut the muscles outside to shorten it

yeah will most likely be fine. good luck

 

[Prøphet]

yeah will most likely be fine. good luck

Thanks man
