It's almost like, what would be next? How would I get used to them not being there? How would I get used to not feeling bad about myself? What if I don't get used to the feeling of being flat once again? What if everything around me feels foreign forever?   

What comes next? Joy, man! ;D I can't say that I had this fear before I had top surgery. Despite the idea of surgery has always scared me, I just ploughed right into top surgery. I didn't care. I wanted those ****ers gone! But yeah you are gonna feel some weirdness around your chest post-op. But nothing you won't get used to I don't think. Lying flat was definitely weird when I was first able to do so after having surgery. And slightly uncomfortable because of the scars (but that went away). Its obviously weird when you're not used to it, when you're used to something being in the way of totally lying flat. But again, you get used to it after a while. Within my first year that weird feeling went away for sure.

Other things that will be different is shirts will fit differently obviously. Which for me was great.

I also noticed post-op that I previously had a habit of using my chest as a book "leaner"/general "leaner" which I could no longer do. That took some getting used to when reading in bed but I'm perfectly happy about it since it means no more boobs :D

As far as "underboob sweat" the weird thing is I still get that despite no longer having an "underboob" heh. Despite that everything is flat there now, the area still sweats the same as it used to. Its really weird and I'm not sure if cis men get that too or if my body just has some vague memory of something previously being there to cause the sweat, lol. Its just a million times easier to wipe the sweat away now.

Things that were "weird" post up are totally normal now. I wouldn't worry too much! At least speaking for myself I've felt nothing but pure joy since I had my surgery, and I would never go back on that decision. Probably the best decision I ever made in my life and the happiest moment of my life frankly.

I thought of my breast as a inconvenience/out of place on my body. I didn't hate them per se as they were a part of my body. Before top surgery I didn't remember being flat chested. After top surgery the first time I saw my chest I thought it was weird and surreal (drugs probably factored in here). After the first time I saw my chest I felt happy and correct. Even 2 years out I look at my chest and feel that same level of happiness.

I saw I guy talk about this on facebook recently.  He was wondering if anyone else experienced this.  There was a certain place on his pecs that would get sweaty where the rest of his chest didn't.  He wondered if it was the same as you...the underboob.  No one else said they had experienced this.
