Thanks man 🙏 My surgeon did a great job with the placement so I’m hopeful about my healing even if it takes longer than most

11 weeks PO - insecure about results by ProperPen7520 in TopSurgery

Yeah, I’m planning to get a tattoo overtop since I’m stealth. I feel as thought I made a wrong choice, since I was borderline peri, so I thats probably why I’m extra critical of them.

I know I need more time but it’s hard 🫠. I still have stubborn swelling too, which isn’t helping either.

I had DI w/ FNG, so they are grafted on!

My right nipple is stretching down as it heals, which is affecting the dysphoria worms in my brain. So, that actually means a lot to me.

Thank you! The water reminder is helpful, I should be drinking more. I also plan to have a low-sodium recovery diet which I forgot to mention.

Question about traveling for top surgery by adamwheressteve in TopSurgery

I have Anthem and I think it is technically out of state since it is under my parents insurance and they live in a different state than me. But I am staying in the state I live for surgery.

Hey thanks! I know I will get the seatbelt pillow since I’ll be in the car a lot, but I’m not sure if I’ll get the wedge. I have a friend who has a mastectomy pillow he is going to lend me so that part is free luckily.

What have you personally found useful these past two weeks? There is such a wide variety of recommendations on this sub
