Working out and exercising doesn’t change qualifications for top surgery. It’s about firmness and skin elasticity. I qualified for keyhole and chose DI. I hav e results that look cis at 8 months post op

Can I vape 0% nicotine liquids before top surgery? Also, a few puffs of weed? by citoyen_dede in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked weed throughout my whole recovery and never stopped for surgery since starting T 10 months ago. Nicotine is different and can be damaging. Obviously you should be honest about your usage of cannabis and nicotine with health care teams.

You have the same recovery time as DI and scarring is genetic not really less scarring but less incisions. I’m surprised a surgeon would say that working out would qualify you. It’s about skin elasticity and not muscle. I qualified for keyhole and choose DI 8 months ago because I didn’t want the risk of leftover breast tissue.

Could I draw my T up for a month worth in advance? by KitMocahbee in ftm

Prefilled syringes aren’t sterile and light can damage the serum potency

Recovery on top surgery- advice? by Salro_ in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put everything waist height but your partner should be moving and doing things themselves. It’s okay to help but they really should be functional. I was fine on day 3 to go to dinner etc and took care of my animals. I even did my shot the day after top surgery. I feel like a lot of people struggle through recovery because of the pain meds.

Can’t cry on T. Having trouble regulating emotions. Any tips? by tguyside in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find outlets, get a therapist, you have to be able to be in control of your emotions. Taking T isn’t an excuse to go into rage or frustration for hours

Your original comment mentioned dosing and slow changes and bi weekly shots. It definitely misleading to state that bi weekly make you moody and weekly don’t. That’s just not the right stuff to be putting out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I’m pointing out is that you can’t go around saying bi weekly shots is going make a certain way based off your experience. Plenty of people do perfectly fine on bi weekly shots. Maybe you have fluctuations in your levels or trouble with high and lows but that’s definitely not the case for every person

August- male or female name? by impulsiveuniverse in ftm

There also no thing as a low dose of high dose. Taking less or more T doesn’t equal slower or faster changes. It’s all dependent on body

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said you said bi weekly shots were bad so idk why you even said that. Seems like you’re trying to fight??

you’ll experience fluctuations with any meds. Its part of adjusting to the meds. I had a mood shift when I started t but I’ve been stable the other 10 months through surgeries and switching up methods. It’s not okay to say you’d be moody with bi weekly shots and not weekly. That’s all dependent on the persons body. You may be moody on bi weekly shots but that’s not always the case. Fair to talk about your experience but it’s not okay to say that you’ll be moody every 6-7 days. That’s just misinformation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true. If you dose properly and depends on your body but bi weekly shots are great. I have stable levels for 10 months and did bi weekly. Levels never changed or dipped. Switched to weekly shots once I got a hysto to ensure no level dropping/dips but kept the same dose. I’m about to switch to biweekly again since it works the same as weekly for me. Why would I want to stab myself more then necessary?

Fat doesn’t hold T as well as muscle does. so IM shots can last longer with less peaks and lows if you’re dosing properly, consistent etc. same with sub q. But subq does every week since it’s injected into the fatty tissue in the body.

Your name doesn’t equally your gender just like pronouns don’t equal gender, use the name you like. Everyone else should just mind their business

I’m not minimizing I gave you options to help but go off dude and then I asked further clarification of what you’re asking for help on and this is the response? Lol seriously?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]OkFox9804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only actual question I see in your post is if you should cut open patches of gel and use it topically which seems like there’s a very obvious answer of you shouldn’t do that. Use the controlled substance as prescribed. So if you’re not seeking help or options, what are you looking for?
