Sorry i forgot to add that i am 12 and that i want to lett every teen going through this to toughen up because it is nothing to worry about. If you’re in school, see if you can hold the surgery till a thursday or friday before a break. The couple of days can be tough trying to find out how to sit comfortably. Don’t be scared! The first week of packing will be no problem but it gets more painful and hole becomes smaller.
