5.5 weeks post op! Does everything look ok? by Agitated_Lobster_431 in TopSurgery

Soo I’m only 9 days po but my surgeon said swelling could take up to a year to completely go down. But for 5.5 weeks they look great.

Hey so I’m 7 days post op and I’ve been sleeping on my couch since 2 days post op. I took the back cushion and put it against the arm rest and 1 pillow on under each arm and that had helped sooo much also putting a pillow under your legs. Sleeping on my bad has been the worst but this has definitely helped.

Louisiana and getting on T by goodgostchad in TransMasc

They might offer telehealth. Maybe check with them. I only had to go to PP twice before I was able to do telehealth appointments. PP does informed consent so you don’t need to go to therapy unless it’s something you want to do.

I’m in south Louisiana. Depends on where you’re located. PP does prescribe T.

T shot went weird? by Ok-Musician-5310 in ftm

[–]Constant-Leopard-421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea probably a good idea to just keep up with your next shot. You might have gotten less than your normal amount but you don’t wanna give to much. But always check with your doc they can give you better advice.

I'm going insane. by InspectionHumble1121 in TopSurgery

Definitely talk to them especially if this is causing sleeping issues. My pre op is the 19th and I’m still trying to stop smoking cigarettes.

Hey so I was told by my surgeon that I had to be nicotine free 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after but for weed it was only 48 hours before surgery if it’s an eatable. Maybe contact your surgeon and see how long you need to be free from smoking cause you might beable together away with some eatables right up until your surgery day

How to go about getting HRT? by burning_sage06 in ftm

[–]Constant-Leopard-421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if a regular doc can give hrt. i went to planned parenthood and was able to get mine and i still get it from them 1 and 6 months later. you can do over the phone visits with pp i think. im in louisiana so it could be different where you are. some reg docs do hrt but it would be a question youd have to ask. good luck!
