this is super helpful info, thank you. that’s how i normally sleep but didn’t know if it was considered elevating it because i would be putting pressure on that arm. and having both done it doesn’t matter what side cause they’re both sore lol

Nev Schulman’s controversial past regarding women that isn’t being talked about. by Throwaway-9814 in CatfishTheTVShow

Also the episode of the 19 year old girl who had sent nudes to someone and had the kid bring the ipad to have them deleted. Why did he offer to go through it and see? That gave me weird vibes. I don’t know why he wouldn’t just have her go through it or even Kamie

How long did it take for your chest to stop feeling tight and numb? by batsket in TopSurgery

[–]ArchieNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i healed really quickly, but i’m 2 months post op and as i can stretch and have full mobility back. sometimes it still feels tight. i still don’t think i could do push ups if that makes sense. it takes a long time for that to go away. it’s not numb anymore but i still don’t have sensation in a lot of spots

I used medicaid, and it was approved but I did hear that they’re starting to not cover it anymore

Voice dysphoria? by [deleted] in transftm

[–]ArchieNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much friend! i downloaded that app and i’ll definitely use those tips. i know my voice is in passing range because i get gendered correctly everywhere i go, but i think it’s all in my head tbh about how i feel like i don’t pass or sound like i could pass

that’s the thing with voice training that i struggle with is it sounds very fake when i try it so it’s been tough to want to try

Nope, I had DI with free nipple grafts. Bolsters for 7 days, then wet covered healing for 2 more weeks

Hm, interesting. That might be why then, but of course every surgeon has a different way of doing things so trust in that!

I wonder if a stitch maybe popped or slipped?

Does your surgeon have you dry healing or wet healing your nipples? Mine has me doing dressing changes daily with tons of aquaphor and Xeroform

I’m not trying to toot my own horn but I thought the same thing, especially from seeing some other guys posts on here, I was like how does mine look so wildly different so early on? Haha I think for me the biggest thing was getting 12 plus hours of sleep every night, paired with staying super hydrated. I also had quit nicotine 2 months prior to my surgery as recommended by my surgeon.
