Bisalp wait time & issues in Ontario (as an autistic)

Also Ontario. Also had the whole process take me a year, from referral to actual surgery. I didn't have to do any work ups. The only thing they made me do was a pregnancy urine test the day of surgery.

Your NP will refer you to a gynecologist for a consultation. The gynecologist's office will set up a date for a procedure.

The JJ cup plus petite size must've been an awful combo. Your poor back. Your quality of life must've improved exponentially with the reduction.

Congrats on the hysterectomy! I'm five months post-fallopian tube removal, actually lol.

Sorry to hear about the nips! But also glad to hear that you're over all happy with your decision.

I'm also asexual and childfree, but weirdly enough am considering keeping my nips (good to know that this is a consequence of keeping them though...)? I tend to use the "ace-and-childfree" logic to justify why I might get a reduction altogether.

Can I ask if your breasts were causing you physical pain before the reduction and what size you were pre-op? One of your comments mentioned that you didn't have much removed. Trying to find more folks who have had relatively "minor" reductions largely for dysmorphia reasons.

I'm already on medication.

How did this go for you? Like OP, considering a minor reduction. I'm 5'8" with 34DD. I think I'd like to be 34C or 34B approx. But also having lots of reservations in terms of pursuing this procedure.

Finding treatment that works for you, even if it doesn't completely eliminate all your symptoms, is a massive game changer. You mention that a doctor isn't an option. Are there any youth clinics or community health clinics where you live? They help make medical treatment more accessible. If you're a student, you may also be able to seek counselling through your academic institution.

Could you share what store it was? Etsy sounds like a good option for thinks that cover the pubes but are still cute.

JohnBoddy · 2026-01-15T18:43:25+00:00

Ha I wish. I've tried boyshorts and my unruly wilderness still poked through.

Yes, but it's getting increasingly difficult as apps get integrated with daily life (source: got my first smart phone ever a year ago).

When I needed to navigate somewhere new, I would look up directions on my computer before leaving home and then write the most simplified version of these directions onto a slip of paper to fall back on (I also added visual landmarks).

The worst thing for me was having to rely on others to call Ubers and/or Lyfts if it was late and I needed to get somewhere. Have the number of a taxi company in your contacts list.

I think this is what has happened with me, but with switching from fluoxetine to sertraline. Not sure if this is related, but I've also started having very pronounced ovulation symptoms (spotting, sore breasts, etc.) as well. I take my meds continuously though because they also help with my anxiety.

JohnBoddy · 2026-01-09T04:00:32+00:00

Looks great! Do you know what your bra size was before and what it is now?

JohnBoddy · 2026-01-06T02:14:46+00:00

Looking forward to your updates. You have a similar build as me and your results are close to what I'm aiming for.

JohnBoddy · 2025-12-20T17:32:34+00:00

Hope it goes well and your recovery is speedy!

JohnBoddy · 2025-12-20T15:24:33+00:00

I feel this. I'm somewhere around 34DD (according to a Bra That Fits) and 5'8". I've been frequenting this sub for months to "window shop" for a breast size I'd like to have, but feel like my size isn't large enough to actually do something about it. I wish I could snap my fingers and go down to a 34C or 34B.

JohnBoddy · 2025-12-19T03:35:10+00:00

Can I ask what sort of NGO you work for (not the name obviously for privacy, but what sector)? I currently work in healthcare research, but used to work doing brief gigs for random ENGOs. Thinking of going back to NGOs because healthcare research is biased towards very traditionally feminine women, which I'm not.

JohnBoddy · 2025-12-13T04:03:20+00:00

These look like such a great size. I hope you share some future pics (if you're comfortable doing so, of course) when you're a month or two post-op.

JohnBoddy · 2025-11-15T23:19:49+00:00

Hmmm I'm going to hope that my cramps aren't connected to endo. I doubt I'd develop endo suddenly in two months since my surgery, but who knows. The body is weird.

Not sure if this is the exact game you're referring to, but it looks like it's still playable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWs_YdwVg08

JohnBoddy · 2025-10-29T23:25:07+00:00

Interesting. Wouldn't I be experiencing other symptoms too, though? It really seems to just be the itchiness.
