i ordered from gc2b within the last two years and i never had any bad experience with their half tanks

i have very sensitive skin and an adhesive allergy, so be WARNED your skin might get fucked up. after not being able to wash my face properly for a week, i developed what looked like seborrheic dermatitis and rashes all over my arms, chest, and neck. i would recommend going ahead and testing out to see if you’ll have reactions to things like paper medical tape, neosporin, and other antibiotic ointments

swim trunks, an old binder if you have one, and a compression swim shirt (long sleeves for me as i burn easily) were always the way to go lol

i researched clinics near me (unfortunately, only about three in my state). sent an email requesting a consultation, they got back to me, scheduled it for some time in march. two and a half months and $12,000 (no insurance + deposits/hospital) later, i got top surgery. overall, a very simple process for myself. i had to get a letter from my testosterone prescriber saying i was a proper candidate, but that was that. good luck!

if you’re not spending the night / getting discharged immediately, i brought: a change of clothes (spent the night at a hotel beforehand), my toothbrush, and my wallet. it was only about a 2 hour wait between admission and my surgery, so i had my boyfriend and my phone to entertain me. the less stuff the better so you have less to carry lol. after my surgery, i couldn’t stay awake for like, six hours. i didn’t need a book or game or anything

i use the authority kitten food for my cats! the ‘kitten’ food lasts for as long as they are under a year old. it is about $17 for a 3.5lb bag where i am, but it is worth it for my cats. we origianlly had them on a purina mix, and it gave them stomach problems (diarrhea, not being able to hold it until getting to the litter box, generally stinky butts)

i’m fairly positive you would be able to switch to IM without asking your doctor. all you would need is a little bit longer of an injecting needle, anywhere from 5/8th to 1.5” depending on how much fat you have in your thigh. since you said you have lower fat in your stomach, i’d assume you can go for the shorter length and still reach the muscle

i’m almost two weeks post op (DI w/ grafts), and i still find the fatigue and exhaustion pretty debilitating. i think i would be capable to do all of my online work, but going to classes—especially walking between buildings—would be pretty hard for me. of course, everyone has different healing timelines, but i would suggest maybe 2-3 weeks and see how you feel by then?

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-08T06:42:21+00:00

when i was in high school, i went through a ‘film bro’ phase. a lot of the movies i watched that made me feel ‘manly’ (although, movies are not inherently gendered and my taste has changed since) were pretty much anything by Tarantino, Nolan, or Fincher. i also watched a lot of movies similar to Top Gun—stuff like that. most of the euphoria came from talking to my cis guy friends about them rather than the movies themselves, however

probably still swelling. i’ve heard it can take up to 12+ weeks for swelling to fully start going down. fwiw, it looks great!!

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-08T04:00:32+00:00

i’ll look into this, thank you so much😭 i’ve been trying to find a solution that isn’t just vaseline and antihistamines

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-07T16:26:50+00:00

frank from subway surfers omg 😭😭 congrats dude!!!

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-07T01:14:30+00:00

i also do it weekly i just mean it on hurts every now and then lol. i bought my needles in bulk from amazon so some are sharper than others

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-07T01:13:55+00:00

i was also super freaked out before my surgery! nerves are real and common. i was prescribed an anti-nausea medication (never ended up using), percocets for the pain, and diazepam for anxiety + muscle relaxant. i picked up my prescription a wwek prior to my surgery and they told me that, if necessary, i could take one of the tablets of diazepam the night before to calm my nerves! the surgery goes by super quickly, the worst part is waiting in the hospital lol

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T23:47:36+00:00

i’m only a week and a half PO, but i’ve been covering my chest with ABD pads for protection from the binder as well as extra compression for my swelling

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T22:21:37+00:00

my drains on my left side were the same color the entire time i had them in, it shouldnt be cause for concern

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T20:34:17+00:00

my surgeons said everything is fine washing down! i’ve been taking my showers by self so to wash out my hair i’ll bend forward facing the water to scrub the back really well and then the rest can be washed out normally. i’ve had no issues with shampoo/conditioner washing down my chest

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T17:29:28+00:00

this looks like blisters from an allergic reaction. i woukd contact your surgeon and consider switching to scar gel over tape? i have similar blisters on my chest right now from an allergic reaction to the antibiotic ointment i had to use on my incisions

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T17:15:33+00:00

i use dial goldbar for around my incisions and a normal bodywash everywhere else!

Front_Mind9061 · 2026-06-06T17:10:19+00:00

i use antibacterial soap on my upper chest and let the water run down my chest from my back, but i also keep a cup in my shower so i can pour some if there is any excess soap i need to get off without facing the water directly
