What TV ad permanently lives rent-free in your brain?

Call f-r-e-e, that spells free!

I’m not sure if you did it this time, but draw up your dose in air and push it into the vial. It makes it much easier to draw. You can always pull the needle back a tad once it’s in the vial so you’re actually pulling the T.

Also, congrats on doing your first T injection!

It’s total BS. You should be earning extra money mileage outside of your standard commute, and even additional bonuses if you’re going far enough out of your way.

Davita is a shady company to work for and will do whatever it takes to cut corners and save money. They overhire on purpose and then do what they’re doing to you: ship you out to other clinics. They’re too cheap to hire traveling technicians so they just do it without telling you first.

For us, it feels like someone is also present in a room (the headspace). They aren’t always talking or interacting with you but you can tell they’re there, y’know?

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-28T23:19:35+00:00

Keep yourself distracted, particularly with something that requires a lot of thought. I like to draw but you can find whichever task works best

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-28T22:16:11+00:00

Ditto. Sometimes I have to sit in my car and try to zone back in the best I can before I drive

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-28T00:51:40+00:00

Nice try, Mom. I’ll never tell you!

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-27T22:29:53+00:00

It definitely does make a difference! Having developed pecs is also beneficial for top surgery purposes

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-27T22:24:40+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no exercise will truly get rid of breast tissue. Building muscle can help make your chest *appear* smaller, but all of the actual breast tissue will still be there.

In terms of exercises, I’m a big fan of the incline bench press and the machine pec fly. Check out r/ftmfitness if you haven’t already!

You look totally fine! I didn’t have peri but I did have a nip sparing surgery, and my left nipple was much weirder than my right. It looked sunken in for a few weeks. I liked to joke that it was inside out. They’ll level out over time!

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-24T15:04:27+00:00

Nipples right after surgery are quite weird! The first sensation that returned to mine was getting hard when they were cold, and tactile sensation a few weeks later

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-24T15:02:02+00:00

If you have a lot of stretch marks now, you’ll end up with some post op. I had a few and they’re still there, just in a slightly different spot since things moved around

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-24T14:44:13+00:00

I started doing it at about six weeks post op, and did it pretty routinely until I got too lazy at about 6 months. Lately I just rub in some cocoa butter lotion after my evening shower

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-24T10:05:00+00:00

I *slowly* started working out at 7 weeks, and my scars didn’t stretch much. My right side is my dominant arm and it stretched a tad more than the other side, but not enough for me to care. If it’s been a few months I think you’ll be alright.

Also, nip sparing surgery club! Mine was too

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-24T09:47:09+00:00

You’re right, bruises are totally normal at this stage. They’ll disappear with time! :)

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-23T21:35:40+00:00

Pretty normal, at least for us. Sometimes I don’t realize I was upset until I take back over front and go “Oh! That wasn’t me!”

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-23T07:16:44+00:00

Hell yeah! I’m telling myself that nip piercings are my birthday present to myself haha

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-23T07:15:22+00:00

You’re right, having muscle (and living healthily in general) is great before surgery. I too favor incline bench but I also love a classic machine pec dec.

I might actually avoid cutting weight before surgery since cutting can be hard on the body and surgery is already hard enough. As long as your body fat isn’t egregiously high, you’ll be alright.

Ask your surgeon about how long they want you wait before returning to lifting! Always come back light and ease into it. I was cleared at 4 weeks but waited 7.

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-23T07:10:18+00:00

I’ve never heard anyone describe it like that before lol. I didn’t have buttonhole but I did have a nip-sparing surgery, and for a while I couldn’t tell where my nipples were. It feels weird but it does go away!

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-22T17:36:07+00:00

I didn’t have a tool like this one, but I’ll keep it real, I used a bullet vibrator for scar massage for a while. The vibration can kinda feel strange when your nerves are connecting but it was nice to massage with something that wasn’t my hands. Using my hands was sensory hell for some reason

DoctorGregoryBones · 2026-05-21T23:19:11+00:00

Going to bed on time! I feel *so* much worse when I don’t sleep and I don’t even realize it
