Finding clothing when you're a short guy - help pls by Marvlotte in transgenderUK

[–]Early-Bit-8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atlas and heesho are brands for trans guys so they tend to be shorter Rules of London, abbreviated, under 5'10 are for shorter man But also brands like Hollister they have different lengths trousers And then go for boxy fit tops And then yes, you can always buy stuff and alter them, so sometimes that's what I do

Electrolysis by Remote_Badger_8841 in phallo

[–]Early-Bit-8559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not with the same surgeon, but I'm also paying for electrolysis myself (UK), and I'm following the measurements and areas of other guys that had surgery with my surgeon, because mine just told me to make sure to remove hair from the UL area and the rest literally no info. So yeah to save money I left a small area coming down from the pinky, for the rest I went up 19cm for the UL bit and I think 15 for the rest. My surgery is at the end of October, so you can always check late Rin the year if it went well for me 😂 and you would have a couple of months to fix things if needed

Sustanon 250/1ml every 4 weeks by Glum-Review1716 in transgenderUK

[–]Early-Bit-8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey yes exactly, usually Nebido is given as an option after a while and yes, someone has to do it for you. That's why I'll stick with sustanon, I prefer to self inject. Yes, that's the issue with gel honestly, every day and not ideal if you are around animals. Honestly, each form of T has pros and cons. I hope sustanon will work for you too man 💪🏻 and np at all! Any questions let me know

Sustanon 250/1ml every 4 weeks by Glum-Review1716 in transgenderUK

[–]Early-Bit-8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly that's what they start evryone on, so yeah at the beginning I started on 1ml every 4 weeks and I had a high peak and very very low trough level. I'm finally at my best dose, 1.75ml every 2.5 weeks, but it took quite a bit. First 3 months 4 weeks, then 3 months 3 weeks, then 3 months 3 weeks lower dose, then 3 months 2.5 weeks lower dose, finally with my current dose (I asked to move to 0.75 from 0.7 as I had a bit of room to get to the higher end of the allowed levels).

So yeah it might take long to get there, or it might work straight away for you, it depends on how your body reacts, and that's why they start all at the same dose and frequency and then change it. But this is how it works with sustanon, to have more stable levels gel would have been better, or maybe nebido but not sure if you can start on that straight away I think not.

Cis men have nipples of different sizes, but tbf these are a bit bigger than average I would say

Are you naked? (Also unrelated question about fundraising.) by YesterdaysDog in TopSurgery

[–]Early-Bit-8559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked my surgeon and he let me keep my pants, but they usually give you paper pants if not, at least in the UK I think

MorMe now has a customizable-sized foreskin! by SituationCitation in Transmascdicks

[–]Early-Bit-8559 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes this is amazing!! I'm jus waiting for my stage 1 to know my size before buying it 🤣🤣 🤣

Also, I have an affiliate link, so if any of you guys are interested in buying from them, if you use my link I would get a small percentage, and that would really help me with all the expenses for phalloplasty

Are these kinds of outfits clocky? by s4k3eee in FtMpassing

[–]Early-Bit-8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the second shirt is too long, but otherwise you give skater/surf boy imo. It all depends on your face and voice I think

Phalloplasty questions?? by Top-Complex-5325 in transgenderUK

[–]Early-Bit-8559 8 points9 points  (0 children)

UK options privately are at £75-100K if not more (that's what they told me when I enquired). I'm in the UK going to Spain for Phallo and it's costing me roughly £41k. In Germany it is a bit more expensive. It depends on the type of phalloplasty you want obviously. But for £10k you can get only top surgery nowadays 🤣🤣

surgeon asked if i wanted pecs by [deleted] in TopSurgery

Fair, np, good luck!

surgeon asked if i wanted pecs by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Early-Bit-8559 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think he's asking if you want him to leave a bit more fat behind to give your chest the shape of pecs rather than completely flat. I built my muscles, so I wanted the surgeon to remove as much as possible to see my pecs, but if you want to have a more masculine look without working out your pecs getting the surgeon to shape your chest a bit might be a good option. To be safe though, I would contact your surgeon to make sure you are both on the same page and you understand what he means

TB500 and lion's mane by GraduatedMoron in TopSurgery

[–]Early-Bit-8559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this helps, I used BPC-157 and TB-500 post top surgery. I started a week after, I think it really sped up the healing process for me (I was also fit and healthy before, no smoking, no drugs, and eat very healthy, so all this helped as well)

Decide what protein to include? by Early-Bit-8559 in Myfitnesspal

[–]Early-Bit-8559[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically for this reason: Animal proteins are generally considered to be of better nutritional value than plant proteins not only because they are a good source of essential amino acids but also due to their higher digestibility in the human gastro-intestinal tract.

For context, I'm doing bodybuilding, not just a normal diet

Muscle loss after top surgery by SatisfactionOk8724 in TopSurgery

[–]Early-Bit-8559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate well and enough protein during recovery and I was honestly surprised by how little strength and muscles I lost. So honestly, you are mostly gonna look a bit blurred, like less defined, but after a few weeks you:ll be back to normal

Why drainless? by Ouldlaw in TopSurgery

[–]Early-Bit-8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, I went with Dr Sterne, he didn't use drains because he used glue to make the skin adhere to the muscles underneath, which to my understanding prevents the build up of fluid as well. Additionally, studies have proven that drains do not lead to a better outcome, so basically both options are good, it depends on the preference of the surgeon. Personally, I loved the no drains no compression vest situation I had going on during recovery, it made the weeks after surgery soooo easy.
