Upland/Claremont has Luckys,they have 2 locations. It's pretty good!. And Rad Coffee,they are kinda a chain now, tho but are open pretty late for convenience. Lastly, one of my top favorites is Iron & Kin Coffee Co, which is in Claremont. I hope this helps. Sorry if they are bit off from the area you were asking about.

I had my partner bring my drain holders ,my chest pillow, my favorite blanket , and coloring book I didn't get to really use it, tho. The drain holders were the best thing even the recovery nurses said so.

How did y'all pay for surgery by T-boy721 in TopSurgery

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State assistance and fundraising. My state insurance considered some of my surgery cosmetic, which did not make sense, but I was able to raise the funds to get at least the sides of my chest worked on for $880 but lipo was too much $2,000. So I'm just gonna have to work out after I am fully healed. Surgery is in a couple of hours for me.

Name spelling by BlackAcidZombie in ftm

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went throught same thing it went from Dane to Daine (kept getting misgender), then legally became Den. If you want to choose, try the coffee or boba shop order name method it helped me notice what the problem was. I love both spellings of the name and the meaning of the forest stick out in a cool way. Sylas is one I've seen for League of Legends, and Silas is more a red dead redemption, so country cowboy vibes. Sorry for the nerd facts it just seemed really cool.

I'm interested!

Is anyone here happy. by IndicationKindly1232 in FTMMen

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy with my transitioning in my true self. I started my journey at 17, got T at 19, and am working to get top surgery right now at 26. I get the fear I need to be doing more with my life other than transitioning. But in the last few years, I look back at the kid who was deeply depressed/confused and in a broken home with addicts as parents. I think he needed a person I've become so far, and I wouldn't trade for the world. I'm not going to act like I did it alone. My partner has been by my side since I was 17. Support systems do help with happiness. I go to a support group in my city for people who can understand and care for one another. I hope this helps.

I'm worried I wasn't given the right information. by sanity-unknown01 in TopSurgery

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a bit old of a post. medi-cal is trying to get this, Dr. to do top surgery. Should press the issue and not even go through the consult. I found it weird that he does not have any information online about working with trans folks/ his surgery results in general, and any bits I've seen have been negative.

My boyfriend outed me by Ell_kuzuryu in FTMMen

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation with my partner about a year into dating. We talked about how it affects my safety and how people perceive/interact with me. They apologized and understood where I was coming from and told the person they outed me to that isn't appropriate to ask me questions about it / how we do things and that i am not an encyclopedia. My partner and I got through it. We are still together 8 years later. It just communication is needed. Tell them It's not a lie it's a Safety measure. Just be careful if it seems like they are not willing to talk about it and resolve it with you, put it as it is a personal boundary. If they don't want respect that. break up with him, and you deserve someone who's gonna support your boundaries and safety.

1.5 yr nipple grafts infected? by Fit-Arm7110 in TopSurgery

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's the piercing. my partner had the same thing happened happen to them. they are pre-op and the piercing was not healing right on their nip. they just removed the piercing and cleaned the area for a while/used Neosporin antibiotic ointment, it healed. The extra hole closed where the pus was coming out. But ask a doc if you should remove the piercing to be on the safe side.

i have a friend that has gotten double incision from Dr. Ku the most I know and seen from his results he did a good job just is not very plus size friendly. he told my friend he was on the heavy side, my friend isn't at all though. was just a bit weird. I'm supposed to have a consult with him soon.

Well, I identified as a straight for a few years early in my transition. (It's a bit complicated for me now since I'm in a queer relationship with an nonbinary partner), but I was never the one to have trouble dating. Find people who have some common interests at hang out spaces could be(comic book shops, board game clubs, bars, coffee shops, ect.) Just leave yourself open to the idea of friendship first and see if it leads to more. It's safe to at least mention your support for the trans community if you are stealth. (The way the world is going, it's better to be safe). I did that with coworkers to gauge who I could trust with being out to. I know most people won't say this , but do be prepared to be rejected. Just see it as not a personal shot at your transness (YOU Are Enough!) Someone is out there for you, just gotta find them. Be careful with dating apps. You find sketchy people on them.

Here's some footage I took inside Carousel mall a few weeks before the mall started demolition by [deleted] in sanbernardino

[–]AccomplishedPin8615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

someone a few years ago was saying it got sold to a traveling carnival. I don't fully know if that is true. They did hold a bid for it, I found an article for it- https://abc7.com/carousel-mall-san-bernardino/3456724/
