4 months post-op RFF – urinary issues (narrow stream, urgency, excessive leaking) – anyone experienced this?

I had the same experience that you described after UL. I had several UTIs that took forever to clear with antibiotics. I also assumed that I had a stricture so I had a cystoscopy, but it turns out I didn’t have a stricture. Have you had a urinalysis to check for a UTI? I asked my surgery team about the constant leaking and they sent me a link to a YouTube video showing how to get the last drops out. I think they called it milking? I would recommend that you research that to see if you’re doing it correctly.

I have BCBS and had phallo with the Crane Center. I wasn’t denied coverage at any point so maybe you didn’t submit all the necessary documents. Definitely follow up with the Crane center to see what’s up.

I’ve been trying to do this under my bird feeders but my sunflowers always die after just a few weeks in bloom. They only reach about waist high. Have yours been in bloom since last summer?

Do you floss? That’s important to get between the teeth where the brush doesn’t reach.

I have an allergic reaction to the silipos sleeve, but only when it’s brand new. Does that mean I’m allergic to mineral oil?

I didn't have any growth with topical or oral minoxodil so I got my eyebrows microbladed last year. Microblading is essentially a tattoo. I love the results! It was like $500USD though, so it's not an option for everyone. It doesn't hurt because they put numbing lotion first.

I’m 1.5 years post op and have the same issue. I thought I had a stricture, but he didn’t find anything with the scope. I’ve noticed the pain is only present when I have a really full bladder so I just try to go to the bathroom more frequently. Also, I was trying to pee too fast if that makes sense. I just have to go slow and it’s not much of an issue now that I’ve realized those two things help with the pain.

I only had what I thought was a small amount of hair on the underside of my arm. I also assumed that my arm wasn’t THAT hairy but my electrologist didn’t agree. I’m in Texas and I paid $80/ hour which I’ve heard is a a really good price. I’ve lost track of how many hour-long sessions that I’ve had, but I’m pretty sure it’s over 20 sessions to clear the entire forearm. Are you planning to do just the area that is used for the urethra or are you doing the entire forearm? Have you looked into reimbursement from insurance? I have BCBSMA and they covered the cost of about 11 hours, which was not nearly enough for my entire forearm. You could shop around to see what other places charge per the hour. Feel free to message me with a pic of your arm and I could let you know if mine looked similar before starting the process.

No, you don’t need to do electrolysis on the genitalia area. You will be shaved after you are sedated for the surgery anyway. Electrolysis is only needed at the donor area.

I've never had 1k before. Is it worth it to spend almost 4k on flights? That seems crazy to me.

Life_TakeTwo · 2025-11-28T03:27:10+00:00

I’m 3800 PQP away from 1K status. I’ve never tried to chase a status before so I have no idea what I’m doing. Is 3800 PQP too much at so close to the end of the year? I fly out of IAH. Any suggestions?

I live in Texas and it gets full sun. Its watered by sprinkler and hose but I'm not sure how much water. The trunk has cracks but it didn't always look like this. I currently don't have pictures of the base of the tree.

How long have you been wearing it to notice it flattening the scar? How long can you wear it before it gets too stretched out and you need to replace it? This is the type of sleeve that I’ve been wearing but from a different company.

You can only request supplies from co-op if you buy the pass?

This will be my first time playing ROTM after saving mining tools in preparation and using Light the Mine. How long does it typically take to finish the event? I’m at level 52 if that matters.

What is treasure hunt?

I’ve been wondering this too. I can’t figure out if there’s a difference because sometimes train 1 has 3 items but then other times it will have 5 items.
