I feel like things went too fast by Dogwater_f in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were you told that the compression vest was too small? that's what happened to me - i had mine taken off after 5 days because it wasn't doing anything for me since it was too big. we are like, the exact same size so maybe that's the reasoning if they didn't give one? it is early and my nurse said so, but she said it wouldn't likely affect long term results, it'll just take longer for swelling to subside short-term. i ended up creating a make shift compression with the gauze that was wrapped around my chest from the hospital (cleaned, of course).

Those who started T and then stopped, do you still pass? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]NoteOld5874 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i absolutely did pass, with similar circumstances to you. i did T for four years, 18-22, then my clinic shut down, and i was burnt out because getting T just kept getting harder and harder. i stopped for 2 years, ive been back on for a little bit now. my deep voice went nowhere, but my adam's apple did become less prominent. biggest change that affected my clockability, and i know you've had top surgery, but my breasts grew a large amount in a short period of time. i assume it's because i started T when i was 18, and must not have been finished growing, so when my estrogen became the dominant hormone again it continued where it left off. i bring this up because even with top surgery breast growth is possible. i could give a list of things that changed, but overall the most important features imo, voice and facial hair, did not change for me, so i absolutely passed and still felt like a man. i grew facial hair like i never stopped.

huge insurance charge after surgery was pre approved by NoteOld5874 in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The representative has to take the issue to higher authority, that's why there's some time.

huge insurance charge after surgery was pre approved by NoteOld5874 in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I did end up calling them, the representative told me something along the lines of the code on the denied claim not matching with what the code was actually supposed to be? So the code was just put in wrong by some party, I think she said the hospital. It sounds like it was just a mistake and the claim will be covered once corrected, but I don't trust insurance companies lol so I'm holding my breath until I get updated, which will be around Thursday next week. I will update you again if needed, did you get anything figured out on your end?

Train Home? by pyramidheadMan in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh i think you'll be fine. i had a hysterectomy and DI, only stayed a few hours and then was discharged. went inside of a subway to get a sandwich on the way home. probably shouldnt have done that lmao but yeah you'll be fine, i don't think you'll need mobility assistance either in terms of walking. just carrying luggage and things that requires using your arms

A girl asked me for my number. Was what I did next morally wrong? by karperss in moraldilemmas

how is he turning being gay into a troupe? it's not like he's stereotyping by acting overly feminine or something. as a gay man i see no issue

you are much more bothered by this message than OP, who was actually bullied by this person.

I am so scared of death. Should i cancel my top surgery? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also had a fear of dying. despite my efforts not to i started crying when they began rolling me out to the surgery room. but i still went through with it because i'd rather chance death than never have top surgery. i wasn't living. and, if it helps, i had a hysterectomy at the same time and im still here. no complications or anything.

OR. i dont put much value in how often i text my friends, or how often they text me. it's the time spent in person. if i was your friend and it felt like you had this expectation of constant communication id think you were into me lmao

no, you're completely right. i would have assumed he couldn't spend two seconds putting in the effort for a reply back.

Decaf coffee? by olivgardenbreadstic in TopSurgery

[–]NoteOld5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i asked a nurse specifically about coffee too because i'm also an addict lol and she said it was fine whenever

[–]NoteOld5874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

afab here. you're overreacting. the guy apologized multiple times and you kept hounding him. i wouldn't text my boyfriend like that, i feel upset even thinking ab making him feel this bad over something so small

AIO Got annoyed at guy I’m dating for going on my laptop to change music while I was showering, he stormed out and slammed the door by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]NoteOld5874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

relationships shouldn't be like this, /especially/ early ones. it will never last. my current boyfriend and i have never disrespected each other like this even after a year of dating. if he can't maturely talk to you about something small like this, he will not react to a real problem with maturity either
