My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, I'm flying out to Houston to see Dr. Clavell.

I've been looking forward to this for months, but now it's about to happen, and I'm getting very worried.

I'm not typically the sort to stress about things like this. I'm not even certain what's worrying me. I'm broken as it is, so I have nowhere to go but up if the implant works for me.

Maybe I'm just thinking it won't work, I'll get a dud implant or something, and have to do it twice, damage myself even more. Or maybe it's the permanence of the change.

I don't know. I've just got those anxious knots in my gut.

Any last minute thoughts before I get my piece hollowed out?

Edit:

Just wanted to take another moment to say thank you all! This wave of advice and positivity genuinely helped me, and I really appreciate you taking the time.

Hello,

39M here, happily married and dad of 1. I'm looking for myself.

I'm an affectionate, loyal, and caring person, very appreciative of physical contact and touch, looking for someone who can match that energy. I want someone who is as excited to see and spend time with me as I am with them.

I love games of many kinds, reading (fiction, history, comics of various genres), going to movies (I like the theater experience) and conventions, and just finding fun new things to try for the adventure of it. I also enjoy going out to eat and trying new restaurants, and in general sharing meals with people I love. That's a big bonding experience for me. We can cook together too.

I would like to find something romantic, but I'm also open to a warm friendship too.

I'm 5'10, about 210 pounds (chubby but actively working on it) and have a few tattoos.

If this resonates at all, reach out, let's talk. I look forward to hearing from you!
