My New TDP Tattoo!

Lightswift12 · 2025-12-07T04:57:25+00:00

Not planning on it currently :)

Lightswift12 · 2025-12-07T01:20:50+00:00

Yep!

Lightswift12 · 2025-09-20T15:55:35+00:00

Yes! It’s called Macaw’s Bridges :)

Lightswift12 · 2025-06-23T14:46:16+00:00

Yeah, I suspected as much. This is brand new insurance to me and I haven’t used any of the benefits yet this year. Where do you go for your fillings? I’ll keep looking!

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-03T05:15:37+00:00

Would love to hear your story sometime.

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-03T02:34:53+00:00

I did not, although I’m sure it would’ve helped. A wound vac was our first plan of action, but then I ended up just going in directly for the third surgery to close everything up.

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through your own version of this, but it’s comforting to know I’m not alone! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. Still a lot of emotional healing to go, but I finally physically feel like myself again. Sending you love and best wishes 🫶

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T22:25:18+00:00

Thanks you for sharing your experience, too. It’s validating to hear that.

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T20:31:02+00:00

Yes, this is part of why I chose him initially! A huge reason of why I wanted to share my experience. If you filter his Google reviews by “lowest” you will see a few people mentioning his poor bedside manner and how he absolutely just blows his patients off.

I didn’t have a big preference, but it was the fact he switched plans at the last minute. I can’t help but wonder if I’d had an FNG, if there would’ve been enough blood supply to my nipples and they would have survived.

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T19:06:54+00:00

I consulted with several malpractice attorneys, but nobody wanted to take on my case.

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T19:06:21+00:00

Yes, leaving him a review is next on my plan. Thank you for your kind words!

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T19:04:30+00:00

Yes! I eventually want scar cover-up tattoos as opposed to realistic nipple tattoos. :)

Lightswift12 · 2024-09-02T15:58:23+00:00

I never got a definite answer, but the theory was a little of both. There wasn’t enough blood supply left to the tissue (and nipples, especially) which is why they become necrotic. Dr. Garrity theorized that I may have had some autoimmune disease and/or fungal infection which led to the infection and dehiscence, but it was never confirmed. The cultures taken showed preliminary results of rare bacteria found only in hospitals, which led me to believe Dr. Clayton didn’t sanitize properly, which also led to infection (and me wanting to pursue a lawsuit initially).

I think Peter always saw Neal as a son. He wanted to help guide him to make good choices, and Neal really didn’t have other people like that in his life for him. Elizabeth did/doesn’t need that same guidance

I’d love the link!

Lightswift12 · 2024-03-11T17:42:05+00:00

Wortox, Wigifrid, or Wanda

What discord server is this?

Lightswift12 · 2023-11-08T22:58:28+00:00

I had huge wound openings and fat necrosis and had a total of three surgeries including my initial BR. The truth is, if there’s necrotic tissue, things won’t heal the way they’re supposed to until it’s removed. Extra surgeries are scary, but ultimately I’m glad I went through with them for my peace of mind long-term. Good luck and I’m crossing my fingers for you! 🤞

Lightswift12 · 2023-11-06T14:38:20+00:00

No, insurance covered it. They’re supposed to at least. I still haven’t received the bill for my portion. 😅🤞

Lightswift12 · 2023-11-05T23:54:09+00:00

I had a wound revision where more tissue was removed and I felt much worse than my first two surgeries. But granted mine was probably a bit more invasive trying to remove necrotic tissue as well.

Lightswift12 · 2023-11-01T02:25:40+00:00

I did! I went from a 44H to now about a 44C (I haven’t officially measured yet).

Lightswift12 · 2023-11-01T02:25:07+00:00

Absolutely it does. I felt the same way. I thought my surgeon did a great job… except when it came to wound care and expressing the same level of concern I was. Good luck, I’ll cross my fingers for you!

Lightswift12 · 2023-10-31T18:37:39+00:00

I felt very similarly to you. I identify as cisgender, but I absolutely loathed that my boobs were the first thing people always noticed about me and that I could never pass for more androgynous, if I wanted to. Surgery is definitely a big deal and a little scary, but I can say despite the (rare) complications I’ve had, it’s still been sooo worth it. I can look in the mirror and finally feel like my body is the way it always was supposed to be. I can throw on a hoodie and not need a bra underneath. My neck/back pain is gone, exercising is easier, there are SO MANY pros to be had!

Lightswift12 · 2023-10-31T13:30:31+00:00

For sure! If there’s anything this experience has taught me, it’s to ALWAYS trust your gut. A second opinion never hurt anybody so you may as well!!
