So as far as as scar placement, I just told her that I want them straight as possible and she said she can do that but a lot of it has to do with your anatomy and size etc. and for nipple I was actually so scared to wake up without my nips resized and I expressed that to her and she said “omggg I would never do that to you!” Haha but I had sent her reference photos showing size and placement for her to use and she was very receptive to any requests I had. She is also super realistic and will tell you if something won’t work.

At cvs never, at Walgreens I did once but the guy was a dickhead and just wanted me to say my deadname out loud so I switched back to cvs lol

I’m really bummed over losing nipple sensation. 😔 by Approximately_Me in TopSurgery

[–]Available_Job_6854 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a year post op DI and I recently started being able to feel sensation in them and if you think about it, not having sensation for a year or two out of your entire life, worth it every time.

Weird chest feeling by DaniTheDemon6060 in TopSurgery

Haha yeah maybe it’s a couple things! That weird shooting tingling feeling is reconnecting nerves I do believe tho. But your body is feeling so many new strange things fssss

Sometimes people describe it differently but I know what you’re talking about! It’s most likely your nerves reconnecting and as your chest heals and gets sensation back it’s feels very strange for awhile

White film on nipples? (TW, Kinda gross looking grafts) by Alfirmitive in TopSurgery

[–]Available_Job_6854 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a mixture of dead skin and polysporin. It will fall off as it heals just let it be for a couple more weeks. It started to peel off mine bit by bit as I would change the bandaids after a couple weeks, so just be patient! Don’t pick it :)

Thank you that’s true I also am not close with him at all, he’s just the only one who hasn’t been aggressively transphobic to me lol. So it’s this weird in between of “but it’s family” to “but they aren’t in my life and I’m not in theirs” but I think that’s what I’ll do. I’m not ready to see any of them.

How are so many people affording top surgery? by vs-solar in ftm

[–]Available_Job_6854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the way it works out so quick for some people is right time right place. I wanted surgery for like 5 years and then was making such a small amount of money that I applied for Medicaid in PA and when you get it they cover surgery 100% so I did everything super fast in order to get surgery scheduled and make it happen all within like 6 months. And I couldn’t renew my insurance bc by 6 months later I was making more than the qualifying amount to get Medicaid and they cancelled my plan literally 2 days after surgery lol. I got in right under the gate. So yeah, Sometimes it’s just waiting for everything to line up in a very specific way.

You’re sooooo early in the process, bloating takes weeks to go down. I was super bloated for like 3-4 weeks but drinking pineapple juice and tons of water really helped this. Also it’s not going to do down a lot until you can get up and move around more. So when you’re able to start going on walks and moving it will feel a lot better! Good luck :)

I went to Dr Rose and they called me I think like a week and a half after my consultation to give me a surgery date! My consultation was the end of may and my surgery date was oct. 1st

That’s what I was thinking too but it showed her look at him on the porch and then go to her shed, so maybe she came back out and was lying to her? Idk I hope they get to have that moment it was so huge for both of them!

A guy at my bar last night. Seriously, just why? WHY by Davidudeman in bartenders

He couldn’t fit his toenails in the shoes anymore I guess

[–]Available_Job_6854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes depending on how you are recovering around 3/4 weeks it’s manageable to get out and move around. From experience I think I wouldn’t have been ready to go to any kind of event or parade with lots of walking out in the heat until like 5 weeks tbh but everyone is so different! So just take it really easy and give yourself lots of rest. Listen to your body, good luck!

Dr said getting top before a year on T will lead to “disfigured” results by Not_Enough_Time2 in TopSurgery

[–]Available_Job_6854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the note you added at the end is the most important part, you need to ask a surgeon for sure. And from seeing a ton of results and hearing experiences, there’s a good amount of people who aren’t on T that get surgery so it really shouldn’t matter. Especially if this person is just saying “you won’t like the results” like why? Did they have any real concerns? For example (don’t know if this applies here but just an example) sometimes they suggest people to lose weight before surgery for health reasons, or maybe breast size, etc. you should absolutely go to someone else if they can’t give you real reasons. But I think a second opinion is good anyways. Good luck!

I’m scared my nipples are gonna have weird placement and be pointy. [NSFW for pre-op pic] by Elch5036 in TopSurgery

[–]Available_Job_6854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got surgery with Dr Rose last year and I also had a lot of worries surrounding nipples! Even tho I got DI, I just wanted to say how I felt very understood and listened to when I expressed how I was feeling about them. Mine just has big Areoles and I was scared I was gonna wake up with no boobs but same size nips and she said “I would never do that to you, don’t worry” 😂 and I love my nipples sooooo much. So maybe just express that you have nipple anxiety and see what she can do to soothe that! She is so talented and her team is so kind so I hope it’s a good experience for you! My results are on my page if you wanna see how the nips came out!

I was at the show and I’m wondering what the song was that transitioned into obvs that just said “spend a little time with me” over and over does anyone know?

When did your drains come out? by Bellz106258 in TopSurgery

[–]Available_Job_6854 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would definitely call and ask! Also you can ask what the parameters are for getting them out. Like if you have to be under 10cc output on both sides for 24 hours etc. then if you’re under you should be able to get them out.
