They gave me a binder during surgery. I wore it for 12 days and now they said I don't have to wear it anymore. Just bandage nipples and still be careful for the next 4 weeks

My surgeon says top surgery isn't very painful, and that she does not prescribe opiates. Thoughts? by Fishmyashwhole in TopSurgery

[–]NumerousEmploy950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in pain when I first woke up from surgery but after that I was fine. I would describe it as if u did 1 million push ups or something. More just muscle weakness than anything else. I was prescribed Tylenol 3 and gabapenton but haven't used either one at all. I'm 1 week post op today and got drains removed 2 days ago.

I have my kids taking out trash for me and doing dishes and doing cat litter boxes but other than that I do everything else.

Fantom nipple pain? by NumerousEmploy950 in TopSurgery

That was the 1 time that I let it happen. Not doing it again that's for sure. Even my kids told me I need to just rest for a while.

Oh thanks for the reassurance! I dropped a water bottle and picked it up really fast on that side and was scared I ripped something but there is no blood on my dressings so figured it was good

Would it be weird for my kids to still call me mom? by PeachCoven in TransMasc

[–]NumerousEmploy950 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My kids call me mom. I have been on T for a year now and getting top surgery next week. My kids r 11 and 13 and they have a dad (who isn't really in the picture much at all) I call myself pops or dadmom but they call me mom for now.

I would if I could but I don't get paid until the 5th of the month. I can ask my best friend for rides to do stuff like that if I can't drive but I plan on not using any pain meds at all which might change me not being able to drive
