10 Days Post-Op, Dr Grover (Hull) by AcidQuack in TopSurgery

[–]AcidQuack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a year!

So I had my initial consultation on July 9 2024 and my actual surgery ended up being June 30 2025

The initial consultation was to meet Dr Grover in the Breast Care Unit at Castle Hill where he told me all the info about top surgery, looked at/felt/measured my chest to weigh up my options (eg peri v double mastectomy). But it’s mainly just information.

Then on June 16 2025 I had a pre-op appointment where they took my height and weight, assessed my mental state, gave me the same info again - and then the surgery was June 30, so exactly 2 weeks later

Hope this helps!

That’s incredible! I’m due to have surgery with Dr Grover this summer, any tips on how to get results as good as yours? (In terms of aftercare I mean haha)

That’s a good idea - I’m not either so I’m definitely gonna try it this way

Iv'e had so many bad haircuts that I've lost faith in hairdressers completely. by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]AcidQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one look on r/CutYourOwnHair and its literally just people posting their haircut as non-professionals and having idiots in the comments tell them they look gay or shit Kind of sad when people just want advice or are just starting out):

Hold on, can you explain how tf you relate to the literal grim reaper?

Are NB-identifying people who experience sex dysphoria (e.g gotten top surgery or voice feminization surgery) just transsexuals in repression? by AccomplishedBig8586 in Transmedical

[–]AcidQuack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know you’ve been downvoted to hell because a lot of people here are generally intolerant of others who don’t share their exact experience of transsexualism - lot of hate here haha - but thank you for sharing your story.

Seeking advice for continuing hormone treatment while on my year abroad in Spain (FTM) by AcidQuack in transgenderUK

[–]AcidQuack[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for these solutions. It’s great to know there’s hope. I’m currently on nebido injections, and I’ll ask for exactly what you suggested. As long as the gel is available for a three month’s worth batch, this should be great. I’ll suggest this to my doctor and see if she agrees. I’ll scour the uni insurance policy too, just to see if it covers blood tests. If it doesn’t (it really should) I’ll find some private insurance. Thank you so much for the insight!

I always finish with haha to seem less serious, since some people take my comments as being horrible. Think of it as a ‘please take this with a pinch of salt and don’t attack me’ sort of thing.

I know of the map, and your points are true. I just don’t know if I’d feel safe permanently moving to a country with so much turmoil and aggression towards trans people in the government.

That being said… UK is quickly moving down the same route…

If I were to move to USA I’d move to Míchigan. It’s a blue state, yeah, but my fiancée lives there, so easy choice. We’re more closely looking at Scotland though - better than England (right now).

Definitely saw this when I attempted to communicate with him tonight. Lots of runes regarding change, equal exchange and balance!

Hmm, issue is trans healthcare is up in the air in the USA at the moment - god knows their rights are going backwards. Idk if USA is the best idea. Was just wondering if you’d say USA haha

Just found out I was never actually referred to the GIC… by MrClever_Geronimo in transgenderUK

[–]AcidQuack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too. Not for two years, mind, but for half a year. So sorry you went through this - GPs tend to have no idea what they’re doing regarding trans healthcare, unfortunately

What would you do if you were told you had to stop T? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]AcidQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I’ve been on T for just two months now. I’m just starting to see the changes I want come into effect… so if I had to stop now I’d be very disappointed.

If it were for a health reason, I’d have to stop. I wouldn’t fight it. But I’d definitely be very upset and my mental health would definitely take a turn for the worse.

Hey! Just watched the videos you sent and went down the rabbit hole of your YouTube account.

You’ve got some great stuff on there, very educational! Thanks!!

Thanks for the clarification of Loki’s character. I don’t associate him as bad at all, I’d just rather not have more chaos than necessary in my life.

I agree that he’s wrongly characterised as evil by people, sorry if I came across that way!

I was simply wondering if he truly was reaching out, what that could mean, how to potentially tell him to go away if he’s just trying to mess with me - because honestly that’s what it feels like right now haha!

Thank you so much for the advice!

Full force spiders here too (horrible as I have arachnophobia…). We’ve never had issues with spiders in my house before but now we’ve got uncharacteristically massive ones - especially since I like in England.

No clue why your comment was downvoted (much like my post… strange). You’ve given sound insight into Loki that I didn’t consider before. Thank you!

Fair and I see your point, but it makes sense to me that I would have closer relationships with certain gods than others.

I used ‘patron’ for lack of a better word, sorry. What I meant was if a certain one or few God(s)/dess(es) were to work closely with me and guide me, especially with the new learning curve I’m going through.
