Im so happy, I just wanted to share this with everyone! :)

I finally have a date for top surgery: June 17th!
I will be having the double incision procedure, but where the scars run across the nipple, as opposed to underneath the pec contours.
  At first I was unsure at having this particular procedure when I was told thats what Id be having (on the NHS) mainly because I hadnt seen too many results and Id always just assumed all these years that Id have the more common procedure. However now I am feeling much more confident with it all. I think the main bonus for me is, that to me atleast, these particular scars dont look like obvious "mastectomy" scars. The excuse Im using, is that I developed problems with the underlying muscles and it gets really tight during exercise etc,so Im having an operation to fix/loosen it etc.

Im so excited. Me and my girlfriend have booked a holiday for September, and Im just looking forward to time away from everything, time with her where I can finally be shirtless. We are staying in a cabin on a lake in Holland, and plan to go swimming! For the first time in I think, 9 years, Ill be going swimming :D

If I can finally figure out how to post up pictures (I dont really understand how to use photobucket etc) Ill post up pics post op.

Im so happy this will all be done and healed in time for my 21st!
Thats all for now :)
