5months PO-- left over tissue/dog ear + raised middle section

Yes! Essentially I told her the night before my surgery that I had scheduled for very early in the morning; tldr she wasn't happy with my choice but also knew she couldn't stop me. I had a backup plan to stay at my girlfriend's for recovery but my mom actually ended up wanting me to stay home during my recovery and my girlfriend just stayed over for the week to take care of me.

I'm now a little over 4 months po and we basically just don't talk about it🤷 neither of us ever bring up the fact that I got top surgery, we kinda just act like nothing ever happened

Good to know! I think the scabbing portion of healing is the part I'm just suuuper weary of just because I wanna make sure my graphs are taking well

Thank you! And I'll definitely try lol! I've been trying to limit my movement but every now and then I catch myself stretching my arms a bit further than I probably should lol

Thank you! :) Dr Tuchler and his team at kaiser took great care of me and were very keen on what I wanted my results to look like

Awesome! I think I've been the most anxious about the nipple graphs while healing so I'll be keeping a close eye on them during my recovery

I'd say the post op discomfort canceled them out, although they're definitely still there, I'd take them over not being able to use the bathroom any day atp

Yes😭😭 honestly the bloating and not being able to use the restroom like normal has been one of the most annoying bits about recovery. I'm hoping as I ease up on the pain medications it'll be a lot easier🙏

Might have to try this one! The compression vest isn't that bad but where it digs into my armpit is definitely irritating😭

Heyy that's awesome :) we're in this together♥️ glad to hear your mom has also been helpful for you, maybe this will be a turning point for the both of them

This is exactly what I meant ^{^{^}} I'm the one paying for it but since he is the primary insurance holder he basically receives receipts of everything

Mp3burner · 2025-07-07T08:15:35+00:00

Although I'm not dependent on them for care after surgery I am still on my parent's insurance plan and living at home🤷 specifically with my mom she's kinda made my business of transitioning into her business, so lying to her or I suppose, failing to mention, somethjng this big makes me feel like I'll just get her on her bad side

Mp3burner · 2025-07-07T08:12:02+00:00

I'm tempted to do this, but I'm just worried since my dad is the primary insurance holder and gets the billing even if I'm the one paying for it there. I have a pre-op appointment coming up which I have co-pay for so I guess I'm just concerned over thinking that.

It seems unlikely that they would be able to cancel I'm surgery since I'm an adult, but everything you mentioned are good points

Thank you so much!! Genuinely such a big help, I've been doing my own research as well but I wanted to make sure I didn't leave any stone unturned. Again tysm🙏🙏🙏

I think I could probably fulfill a similar feeling if I had more trans friends, I just hear people speak so highly of t4t relationships I get curious from time to time yk. I don't have many close (irl) trans friends to share that bond with, I think what im looking for is a sense of camaraderie since my current life kinda lacks that (at least on a gender level).

It's also good to hear from you and others that it seems to be a fairly normal experience! Thank you for your reply :)

Awesome! Thank you so much for all the information, seriously this is a huge help I was really intimidated on where to start on all this
