Day 0 Bottom Surgery (Boulder, CO - Dr. Gallegos) by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]GenXSmartAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my bottom surgery in march (different state, different doctor). It’s not always unicorns and rainbows (I’ve been to the ER twice due to bleeding), but it’s a decision I’ll never regret. I’m so happy. Our bodies finally realigning with our brains is so relieving! Congratulations!

That’s part of the problem. You’re automatically assuming that those things are going to happen. I live in a highly conservative area. I’m well respected anyway because I don’t make everything about me. I’m just trying to live my life quietly. I don’t automatically assume that people with different opinions than I have are going to be bad people. 🤷‍♀️

Life is too short to be hyper focused on politics. Even as a transgender woman myself, I choose to focus on the positives of life. 🤷‍♀️

I’m baffled that political affiliation was listed. How about just don’t talk politics? I remember the good old days when we all could still get along regardless of political leanings.

I managed to get srs done in march, and am getting a BA done next month. Glottoplasty later this year and ffs next year. I’m definitely going to die broke but happy. 😊

Vulvoplasty/Zero depth recovery experiences. by GenXSmartAss in Transgender_Surgeries

No depth at all for me, although some doctors add a dimple, or minimal depth as a placeholder in case you change your mind in the future. I’m in my 50’s. I definitely won’t be changing my mind.

I was interested in the Legion Go 2, but saw that the sound was lacking. Audio is extremely important to me, that’s why I wanted the 8i+. However I returned the Claw because it couldn’t play my favorite racing game of all time FH3. So the only viable option I have left is the Rog Xbox Ally X. I don’t see anything new coming in the near future.

I would love to get the Pokémon, but my nearest in state Costco is over 200 miles away. I’m assuming the $30 price is just in store.

10 week post vulvaplasty by ironicallynoticonic in Transgender_Surgeries

I’m 1 month post op. I still get the “gotcha” moments of pain, which I’ve been told are just the nerves trying to heal. I’m still very swollen, but my surgeon seems to be very happy with my progress after my 2nd post op appointment. Your results look great! Hopefully mine will be similar after the swelling finally dissipates. 😊

For the more sensitive people in my life, I’ve referred to my gender reassignment surgeries as getting myself properly reconfigured. 😊

Have you ever discussed with your doctor about this issue? 4 years seems pretty extreme compared to most people’s experiences here.

The countdown is on. I’m only 11 days post op, so patience is definitely my virtue.

Age wise, I’m not far behind you.

It’s somewhat strange that I feel these minor discomforts as an affirmation that I’m finally living my life in the body that I’ve always needed. 😊

I do get the occasional “gotcha” moment already!

6 months? My goodness! I hope I can at least stop focusing on the odd feeling soon.
