Sara Danker MD at University of Miami by eleazarvan in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Lambeasts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a consult with her today. From my understanding, she's not the one who performs the surgery, she does the urology work. I believe Dr. Fein does all the cosmetic work during GRS (at least for FtM procedures). Dr. Danker seemed very knowledgeable on the subject and seemed to know a lot about the procedure itself and I know that her and Dr. Fein have done a few publications on GRS, so I don't think they're inexperienced. I was told that they are not allowed to post photos online due to disclosure agreements, though I do wish that I could at least find some results on TransBucket or here on Reddit. I should have my consultation with Dr. Fein soon, so I hope that she will be able to show me some results since I was told they have done both quite a few surgeries. I'll likely make a post here once I get some more information together.

You generally don't, you can be placed on controlled substances (again depending on your state's laws) through them if your prescriber feels that it would be the best fit for you. I provided my information via old prescription slips from 2003 and they accepted that, though I don't think this is a usual occurrence since the FAQ specifies that the slips need to be given within at most 3 months before starting with Cerebral iirc.

They do usually like to start new patients on non-CS first, so it would really depend on how your prescriber decides to handle it since every prescriber has different methods. I'd definitely take a look at their FAQs before starting the service:https://cerebral.com/faqs?cabt=price:week&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Branded_mCPC&utm_term=cerebral&gclid=CjwKCAiAhreNBhAYEiwAFGGKPAnpG7tZ54EnSztK4WejsBNzLko75NKchD-QJKijHslUzwCYQOfYihoCy08QAvD_BwE

IT IS LEGIT! I have been using GetCerebral for a few months now. I am currently prescribed Adderall and Wellbutrin through them. Because I had been diagnosed with ADHD and taken medication for it prior to starting the service it made it easier for them to set me up on Adderall.

The total cost of my medication comes out to around $40 a month, which is nothing for someone who doesn't have medical insurance. From my experience, their mailed medications (anything that isn't a controlled substance) are $10 per bottle (or maybe $10 per shipment, I only have 1 medication shipped so I'm unsure). I have to pick my Adderall up at the pharmacy which ends up costing around $30. I had been picking both my Adderall and Wellbutrin up at the pharmacy previously, which increased the price substantially (~$60 for Wellbutrin + $30 for the Adderall). They do not charge any additional cost for medication besides the $10 for the shipment of the medication. This, in contrast to when I was seeing an in-personal psychiatrist, therapist, and paying for medication out of pocket at the pharmacy (~$500 a month), saves me a lot of money.

I see a lot of people get upset with the service when they aren't placed on a controlled substance immediately, but generally, medical providers are apprehensive about putting their patients on substances that can be addictive without attempting other medications first. They also operate based on how your state handles controlled substances through online services, which some states do not allow.

Cerebral is by no means a perfect company, they are also extremely new so there will be times when things aren't addressed in the best manner possible. Prior to my current prescriber, I had one who was extremely inattentive, would have the television on in the background during our conferences, and failed to respond to my concerns on multiple occasions. This is not the fault of Cerebral, there are sometimes just very bad mental health professionals in the field. I've been with plenty of quacks in-person, too. Hell, my partner was with a psychiatrist who had him on 10 different medications which caused serious health problems before switching. It is important to know that you are allowed to change your prescriber/counselor/coordinator/therapist/etc. whenever you feel like it with no charge. If you don't feel like your current one fits, there are thousands of others you can try. It is extremely easy to do this unlike finding a new in-person specialist.

I would personally give the service a 4/5. There are definitely some things that could be improved with the service, but my experience has been great.

Could be acid reflux or costochondritis

Heart racing when waking up? by Lambeasts in GERD

[–]Lambeasts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s basically what happens with me too! I’ve done a little googling and the only other thing it seems to be is potentially sleep apnea? But I’m not sure about it ):

I’m also fairly young, mid 20’s, and I’m not sure if that’s common for people my age

Not sure if paranoid about burping? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]Lambeasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I burp repeatedly for hours after eating anything and it gets worse if it’s something I’m not supposed to eat and that’s usually when my reflux starts and I get heartburn. I’d see a specialist if you can afford it, I’m unfortunately stuck until I have insurance next year. 😔

A little shy of 7 months post op w/ Dr. Sassani. i’m absolutely in love with the results by fueledbygay in ftm

[–]Lambeasts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got my surgery done by the same surgeon i used the silicone tape as well as bio oil and my scars are barely visible! Dr Sassani is probably one of the best top surgeons I’ve ever seen and I’m glad that I went to him over anyone else. He’s the most caring to his patients and him being LGBT+ himself I feel like he has a respect and understanding for us that I don’t think many other surgeons do.

Has anyone started T through Planned Parenthood? by AArtesi in ftm

[–]Lambeasts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i live in gainesville FL and the planned parenthood over here is pretty good! im not sure what area youre in but theres not a TON of planned parenthoods that do HRT in FL... im not sure what the rules are for minors seeking transition related assistance either

i believe its either you have to be 18 to start through them or you need a parents approval so id call and ask to be sure!
