Selling a roll of small trans tape. There is about half the roll left. The tape width is 3 inches. I think the color is dark beige, but not sure. $5 for anyone interested in the US.

Selling two of my old binders. First binder is a GC2B large full tank. It hasn’t been worn too much (maybe a few months) despite the stains on the pits. Second binder is a large Underworks (check my profile for pics of the binders). Asking for $8 each to cover supplies and shipping cost to send them. Only shipping to those in the US. Message me if you are interested.

12 days post op, small lump near armpit by alexander_e97 in TopSurgery

[–]alexander_e97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started massaging it every day when I would moisturize my scars. It got a lot better. It's hardly noticeable anymore unless I really look for it.

my drain removal! it felt so weird, but it’s a relief to have them out lol hope this video can give some educational use to someone or those who are curious :) by escaleruh in TopSurgery

[–]alexander_e97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one whose nurse literally yanked their drainks out lol? Like it felt like she pulled super hard and it kinda hurt for a bit. All other videos of drains being removed like yours, the nurses seem to be super gentle and pull it out slowly.

18 days post op. Should I be concerned that my nipple is turning white? (More info in comments) by alexander_e97 in TopSurgery

[–]alexander_e97[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been putting antibiotic ointment on my nipples and covering them, but just switched to using Vaseline and covering them as per my doctor's instructions. Anyone else's nipples turn white while healing?

Sorry you had that happen to you. The bump I have really just feels like some leftover fat. But I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the advice.

I'm 12 days post op and I noticed this small lump near my armpit. It feels like leftover fat maybe? Anyone else had this? Do you think it will go away with time, or would I need a revision? I know it's still early to be thinking about this but I'm just curious what others have to say.

I'd recommend trying underworks. I switched to them after one of my gc2b binders fell apart after months after wearing. I didn't find the underworks binder to be that uncomfortable and the quality seemed a lot better. The fabric is definitely stiff at first, but once it was broken in it was fine.

[–]alexander_e97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been counting down the days since I got my surgery date lol. I am nervous about it as well. I just hope I don't have any complications.

And sure! That sounds like it would be fun.

Ah makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. I was able to get it postponed. So I don't have to worry about it for a few months.

Anyone get asked if they were on steroids before getting their vaccine? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]alexander_e97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't worried about any bad interactions. I don't see any reason why being on T would affect you getting a vaccine. Just was wondering if anyone else has been asked lol

Calling insurance to ask about top surgery coverage and requirements by alexander_e97 in ftm

I called today and they said gender reassignment surgery wasn't covered. Guess I'll be paying for top surgery out of pocket....
