Less than I expected

I'll have to say I thought being post op I would be more happy but honestly It didn't really change much. Nothing out of the mundane has changed or will change. My emotions are still the same. I guess I'm just kinda disappointed in a way...something that I've waited for about a year since the initial consultation due to a bunch of screw ups on account of my insurance...and now it's done. I'm happy with my results and glad I had the surgery of course.
My post op is top surgery not srs, I consider myself post op now.

(just me venting)

I felt very similar. I was sure there must've been something wrong with me. I just didn't get as emotional about it as other guys did when all of their bandages came off. It wasn't that I was disappointed or anything, I was very happy with my results. It just felt very anticlimactic compared to what I thought it would. My hysto was similarly underwhelming. I hope that my bottom surgery gets me a little more emotional, but I honestly think I'll be too worried about everything that could go wrong.

Just wait until summer That was when it really started to feel different for me. It wasn't quite warm enough to walk around shirtless or go swimming until closer to June, and that got me a little worked up because it was something I could never do before.

Yea, everyone kept asking me if I was excited and all that etc etc (family,friends,doctor,nurses). Which I mean i was but ehhh it was more of a nice thing to get over finally... it's just that binding honestly completely changed my life socially. There are things I haven't done, gone places, stayed at friends, sports, activities etc (list goes on).  It forced me into being introverted and changed my personality in general.

Hopefully when summer rolls around I'll be more happy must be this gloomy weather like you said


edit: the big surgery for me was top as it greatly effected my life, srs is something i am going to do but it's not as important to me, little dysphoria more of an annoyance.
