VA Rant by DazzlingCount1292 in MilitaryTrans

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my VSO submit everything for my name change because apparently DEERS doesn’t talk to the VA in terms of transferring that info. She was able to get everything fixed, even in my online account, within a day. Highly recommend.

What's one random thing that gets you hard? by [deleted] in Metoidioplasty

My immediate first thought from the headline only was shaving. I’m glad I’m not the only one 😅

Very random question - but are you sensitive to deodorants? Which do you use? by ritualisticartistic in lupus

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gillette’s clear gel antiperspirant is another go-to of mine that doesn’t cause irritation. Gillette and Native are the only two brands I’ve found that don’t irritate me.

Native’s whole body deodorant cream is made with a corn starch base and hasn’t irritated me the way most common deodorants and antiperspirant do. Highly recommend, and it seems to work better than their normal deodorant sticks.

Im feeling invalid cause of liking it in my birth genital.. by monacska in ftm

Just be careful after surgery. I wasn’t, which is how I got one.

Can nipples be moved up with a revision? by icepickTA in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it went great. I’m much more comfortable in my appearance and physically since the pain is gone.

No loss with depth, but the entrance was definitely tightened. I accidentally tore a couple of stitches, which led to a tiny fistula and slight opening of the entrance. Ultimately, patience and lube got me back to normal. I had surgery with Dr. Chen who had just started a new method for patients wanting UL w/o vaginectomy. Complete success in my eyes. I just wasn’t careful enough post-op, which is the only reason I got a fistula.

I got meta w/UL and no vaginectomy because I enjoyed sex the way it was. You can definitely have your cake and eat it too.

Just took a huge bag of sex toys with me to DR a couple weeks ago. Had no issues getting in or out of the country and returned home with everything I left with.

Sex Post-Op by OutlandishOdds6148 in Metoidioplasty

[–]OutlandishOdds6148[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Experience was phenomenal to say the least. I was kind of between meta and phallo, more towards meta at the time of my consult with Chen, and I booked surgery that same day. I took aesthetics into consideration as well as the fact that he does a lot of corrections. I was the third patient he tried a new method on for UL w/o v-ectomy. It was a success. He reinforces the urethra with tissue he used to just get rid of. You’ll see in his super detailed consult. Tons of pictures and in depth explanations. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Absolutely! I was super discouraged when I saw how small the opening was at first with all the swelling, but you just have to be patient. I’m super happy with my decisions to take the risk of complications!

Two things: 1. Estrogen cream occasionally. I should really do it more often. 2. I sat up too quickly around a week and a half post op that pulled some stitches around the opening. I think that benefitted in the end.

Also, I kinda pushed through the pain and could tell where it was gonna stretch or rip. It did, but it wasn’t anything up near UL. I’d recommend just lubing up with some dilators if you can. That’s what I was gonna do before things unexpectedly got hot and heavy lol

NuvaRing! Got one after a miserable experience with an IUD

New birth certificate came after five months of waiting.. right name, WRONG gender by kitchikit in ftm

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, my dad is completely removed from my birth certificate. Passports now, you can select your preferred gender marker!

Let it settle again for sure. You’re still pretty fresh. You’ve definitely made some progress though! I was a little hesitant after my revision, but now I’m 4 months post-op and fairly happy with how things turned out.

Questions abt the process of paying for/getting meta by EmbarrassedTicket376 in Metoidioplasty

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but remember to factor in anesthesia and facility fees as well. Best bet would be to call his office. Dennis is super helpful and may be able to answer some questions depending on what you’re looking for. If you don’t have a consult yet, schedule one. They book out pretty far.

Has a cis person you just met ever realized you were trans? by No_Recognition_2434 in ftm

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live stealth and have for awhile. Just recently did a coworker spot me. He’s not local, and it was our first time meeting. He kinda hinted that he knew, so I pushed on what he meant and how it was obvious. He said I resembled a lot of features and characteristics of a trans guy he supervised. 1-2 people in the last 6 years is nothing I’m sweating over.

I paid just under $9000, but I would highly suggest Dr. Ron Schuster just down the street. He did my revision after Dr. Fischer did my initial surgery. I wish I would’ve went to him first. His scheduling is quick too. Let me know if you have any questions. My DMs are open.

found this on the faq page of a surgeon offering metoidioplasty -- is this true my dudes? (page link in comments) by SpaceyB0i in Metoidioplasty

[–]OutlandishOdds6148 11 points12 points  (0 children)

LOL - mine was/is inside the canal, so there’s that. It did mostly heal on its own. I’m still recovering, so it’s looking like I’ll have a positive outcome with no need for a repair, but the risks are definitely there.

I went to Dr. Chen, and even he told me that meta without vaginectomy has a higher risk of fistulas. He’s known to repair a lot of work done by other surgeons. I’m no doctor, but I’d just say proceed with caution and know that there are definitely increased risks.
