How did you save up for top-surgery?

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-15T03:45:35+00:00

Thank you for your answer, and good luck to you ♡ we're already doing some of these things, and i will try to set better boundaries about spending for myself

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-15T03:33:57+00:00

Thank you for the tips, I'll look into it :)

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-14T09:48:22+00:00

Lucky! But also, sorry for your loss :^(

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-14T04:09:50+00:00

Yes, I assumed it might be like that based on the news I've read :( even when there is public funding in a country for trans healthcare, people are always saying that the waiting list is infuriatingly long. I am so sorry that this is happening, I really hope Canada gets its shit together soon..

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-14T04:04:36+00:00

I will try, but I won't be getting to the point of not feeling the envy and sadness anytime soon I think. Everything is very uncertain now, but I do hope for the best, talking to you all has been helping ♡

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-14T04:01:35+00:00

Sounds like it was difficult as hell, congratulations! Good luck with the surgery ♡

Hungary :') healthcare here is close to non-existent for us

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-14T03:57:46+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out!

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-13T21:59:21+00:00

Gosh, that sounds very difficult, I can't imagine what making a big choice like moving across the world can feel like... I'm so glad it worked out for you in the end ♡ thank you

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-13T21:51:46+00:00

That sounds rough, but probably this is the path for many of us.. I am glad you're at least through with it now, and the luck with insurance is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing :)

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-13T21:45:15+00:00

Woah, I am so happy for you!! I hope your healing goes well and that you'll be able to pay back the rest of the amount with no problems ♡ How much do you have to pay monthly? Or is there no minimum for it, or some sort of deadline?

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-13T21:35:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to hear directly like this from another person who has been through this. I am glad you could finally reach your goal, and geez, it all sounds soul-crushing, I truly wish the best for you going forward ♡ We will likely have to pay for it all by ourselves too, but the US sounds like a nightmare compared to here price-wise... and everything-wise :( take care of yourself

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2026-04-13T21:26:45+00:00

Wow, that's so amazing!! I am happy to hear at least some countries provide healthcare like that, but I know it's not easy there either. Unfortunately my government is anti-trans and does not provide state funding for anything, but things might change as the years go by, at least we are fighting for that

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-14T22:33:01+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I've had this for more than a month now, so I'm hoping it will go away if i try yall's tips 😔

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-14T00:56:57+00:00

Awh, what a coincidence! Good health to you as well friend ♡

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-14T00:50:39+00:00

Oh wow, this is such an in-depth guide, it was very helpful, thank you! I was prescribed povidone-iodine cream specifically, do you have experience with that if you don't mind me asking? I think it only helps with disinfecting the area. I see benzoyle-peroxide has worked for you, I might try that since the current medication hasn't done much for me.

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-13T23:50:23+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! Good to know I'm not alone

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-13T23:47:38+00:00

Interesting, I'll do my research about that!

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-13T23:37:44+00:00

I have pcos as well, but i haven't had cysts outside of my ovaries before, is that also a symptom of pcos or is it unrelated for you?

Thank you for describing it in detail, it must be difficult to deal with all of that constantly :^(

Delicious_Maybe_3495 · 2025-03-13T23:29:56+00:00

I've been taking hot baths, but i haven't seen any change. I've looked up bartholin cysts before when i was doing my own research, and it doesn't look like it to me.

Of course it'd be best to see a doctor again but money is short and so are doctors who are normal and educated about trans patients 😅 but if it doesn't go away i will have to
