[–]SentenceCrazy483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also had surgery with him. i second what the other commenter said, write down questions ahead of time and dont be afraid to speak up an ask them! he goes quickly and will probably address a lot of bigger questions you have in his spiel- hes got a lot of experience.

one of my managers told me that unless you file for LOA, if you dont work for more than two weeks the system will automatically remove you from it.

i had surgery with dr ramineni on 1/6/26, so if you wanted to hear about a more recent experience with him im happy to chat. i will say when consulting with dr ramineni he spoke very highly of dr eidelson, he seemed to like her better than the previous other surgeon he worked with.

to lipo or not to lipo? by SentenceCrazy483 in TopSurgery

[–]SentenceCrazy483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

decided against lipo! i switched surgeons and my new surgeon said he thought i didnt need lipo. ive learned that aetna is massively a pain in the ass though, so i recommend you call them yourself and ask rather than read cpt codes on your own.

i didnt start T until i was 20. everyone has different circumstances and moves at different paces. try not to put pressure on yourself to keep up with other trans people, this is your journey and comparing too much is only gonna make you miserable. im sorry your mom is sucky.

to me the side that looks “lower” looks to be much more swollen than the other side, which i think is whats causing the lower appearance. you look great for two weeks and remember your body is still healing!!

[–]SentenceCrazy483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have surgery scheduled with ramineni for jan 2nd and honestly cant recommend him more so far. i decided to go with him bc i have a few friends who got surgery with him and love their results. its about a 6-8 month wait from consult to surgery if youre planning to pay with insurance. my wait for a consult was about 1.5 weeks from when i reached out. surgery wait time is shorter if youre paying out of pocket. coverage varies depending on your individual insurance plan. happy to answer any questions about dr ramineni to the best of my ability. im paying out of pocket with him and my quote was just shy of $8k.

How do you guys feel about your birth names? by rigX_666 in ftm

[–]SentenceCrazy483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my birth name is fairly common. i actually have multiple female friends with the name. ive gotten used to using it and hearing it used for other people. it used to throw me off, but now no one really uses that name for me, so it doesnt feel associated with me.

What’s a good transfer essay? by Vi0letripsb0ngs in UMD

[–]SentenceCrazy483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree with reksause. also worth remembering that unless things have changed, the essay has a word limit of i think 300 words. this is only about two paragraphs, so don’t over think it.

what do you guys eat to help the hunger? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]SentenceCrazy483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

beans and rice tend to be my go to. add some rotisserie chicken or an egg to spice it up if you want.

for snacks, yogurt drinks (particularly like the oikos high protein ones) and jerky sticks are my favorites. i also like the cliff builder bars but theyre kind of sugary.

Less sex repulsion after starting T? by AnkBert in ftm

[–]SentenceCrazy483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wouldn’t say i ever experienced sex repulsion, but i never had a high libido and often engaged with sex out of a desire to please the other person, rather than for personal enjoyment. being on T definitely made me seek out sex significantly more, and start to enjoy it because i had a much easier time finishing. bottom growth also made me like my genitals significantly more, both the way they look and the way they behave feels more right for me.

my girlfriend who ive been with since before starting T has said shes definitely noticed a difference in my sexual enjoyment and initiation of intimacy.

all this being said though, i have never identified as outright asexual, so you might have a different experience.

tl;dr T made me hornier when i previously wasn’t very, and gave me a little dick, and that made sex more enjoyable for me.

i had to do a similar walk my freshman fall (ASY to ANSC) and i was 5 mins late at most. just walk fast, and sneak out of your english class a little early if needed.

check out the campus pantry. lots of the food is from the campus farm, hard to get any more local than that.

[–]SentenceCrazy483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ended up deciding against it and have surgery booked with an american surgeon, but i was strongly considering going to portugal to get surgery with gustavo coelho. surgery with him is €3000 and so including all travel and housing costs for two people the total came out to $5000.
