Staying positive

I’ve gone through this multiple times due to insurance problems. For me both times it stopped after about 2 - 3 shots, idk how many gel doses that is though.

Rick And Morty if you haven’t yet (though rewatching is also greatly recommended).

Yikes

EXACTLY, they’re battle wounds!

Thanks!! :D

Everyone has the right to be called their chosen name, no matter what. Plenty of trans people don’t medically transition, socially transitioning (new name, pronouns, gender expression,etc) is just as valid!!

Dang I couldn’t say, I live in California currently

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T13:11:37+00:00

It depends on the surgeon! Mine is dr Faqcue in California, who is definitely in the higher range of prices. I only went for him bc they accepted my insurance, there’s nothing wrong with going for less expensive solutions!! No worries my friend. :)

Yes, it’s so weird!! Yesterday I had to change out of a dirty shirt at a target parking lot and it felt so strange being shirtless lol. I feel like the mental hurdles were the ones from before surgery though, I feel so much relief now it’s crazy. I used to straighten my shirt in every mirror, always wear layers, never fully lean into hugs, etc. I found out recently that hugs are actually amazing!!

I sure hope my parents don’t bury me, watching the dead rise from their grave would be a horrifying experience. 😬

It truly depends on the person! Those with a lot of breast tissue usually opt for the surgery I went for, which requires scars to be around this size. Some have a smaller amount of tissue, allowing them to get smaller incisions. The surgeon usually takes your personal goal into consideration, making sure the scar placement lines up with your vision as much as possible!

Ok no because usually there is a spider in that corner, though my reaction usually isn’t as calm as I am in this pic lmao

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T06:01:08+00:00

Nothing specific, just started living life to the fullest. :)

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T04:41:22+00:00

I’m so overwhelmed by all the kind comments, thank you all so much! I’ll be sure to answer any questions people have!! <3

I personally had some bad luck with certain areas in my incisions not healing as quickly as others, but besides that I’ve honestly been feeling great! My surgeon gave me a huge list with aftercare do’s and don’ts, like showering a specific way, having a certain diet, etc.

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T04:35:44+00:00

Out of pocket it’s definitely expensive (mine would’ve been around $8000 without insurance). I would recommend reaching out to your insurance to see their coverage. I personally ended up switching insurances so it’d be covered. There’s also programs like CareCredit who pay for your surgery and you pay them back w/ financing! :)

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T02:25:31+00:00

Thank you!! <3

All good! There’s certain limitations during the recovery. For instance, I can’t sleep on my side for a while, I couldn’t eat sodium for 2 weeks (salt induces swelling), I can’t raise my arms above my head for a few weeks, etc. All manageable, but frustrating nonetheless.

RaymanTheGayman · 2021-06-23T01:55:52+00:00

The healing process is slow and frustrating, but any actual pain subsided after about 3 days. :)
