Yessss absolutely. I've seen those moments described as gender euphoria, as opposed to gender dysphoria, and I feel like that's a pretty good descriptor for it. Just like, hey, yes, this is right, and I feel right and happy. It's so good.
Tbh the worst part of top surgery are the bandages. They're super tight, and has to stay on pretty much 24/7 for at least 3 weeks, it's a nightmare. For someone like me who's been binding for a solid 5-6 years, my body was thoroughly wrecked afterwards, hahah. But all that has healed up too now, so all's good ;v;

But Im so glad to hear its working out for you, goodness, and seeing the positivity and sharing going on in the comments

It is very much a huge relief. In my case, the biggest change has been the pain and discomfort from binding, which after 6-ish years of it was becoming unbearable (kept getting dislocated ribs etc, it was not fun). The best part though, is definitely seeing yourself in the mirror with a shirt on for the first time, and everything's just....right. Like I didn't wake up from surgery feeling this intense feeling of happiness, it was more just like... boy I've been carrying this load for years and I was finally allowed to but it down, and the feeling of rightness has been a gradual increase from there. But yes, with all that said, everyone's experience is different, and I can't tell you exactly what to expect. ;v;
I really hope for you that you get to have it soon. Are you on a waiting list or are you saving up? :>

Ahhh your description totally makes sense!! Binding is...really hard, but you do it for so long it just becomes “normal”. It’s definitely a heavy load, that’s for sure! Sadly I’ve had some other medical expenses pop up recently (multiple MRIs and tests that led to an MS diagnosis), but I’m hoping to start saving up soon / looking for any possible resources to help!! My name change / gender marker change will hopefully happen within the next couple months though, so that’s exciting!
