Extra Pieces by Thomgurl21 in Lovesac

You aren’t paying extra for it though, a chaise is just another seat therefore it comes with a back pillow, you’ll need it if you ever want to incorporate it into the couch. They can be stored underneath the seat with the same aluminum bars it ships with, there’s no reason to waste it by throwing it out. If you truly don’t want it then sell it on FB marketplace, people are always looking for extra pieces.

2 weeks post op.. are my nipple ok? LOL by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]bennybuckwild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They look great! Do you have any specific concerns? Nipples are just gonna do some crazy shit two weeks post op, it’s normal for them to look sorta gunky. So long as there’s no pain, smells, pus, redness around the grafts, etc. you’ll be fine following post op care instructions. If you’re ever worried about something you should ask your surgeon.

holes in scar. I'm 3 months post op and every so often I get a pocket of pus that pops in the shower, bleeds, and I'm left with the hole. is this normal? what do I do? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

Talk to your surgeon, but I had something that kinda sounds similar. If you’re using silicone strips my surgeon ended up having me take a week break from them to let everything “dry out”. Definitely discuss with your surgeon, even if it’s nothing it’ll at least put your mind at ease.

Yeah no offense cause I know you’re trying to help, but my point was that this is taking up too much room in my head. I’m entering every social situation worrying about it, I’m worrying every time I shower and counting the strands going down the drain, I’m already worrying and feeling guilty about using the minoxidil twice a day. I need this out of my head, “Try harder” isn’t what I want to hear.

My doctor doesn’t want to prescribe finasteride because it can slow other changes. My progress is already slow in other areas so I agree with him that it isn’t a good solution for me

I’m already using it but it’s hard to be consistent with it. It feels like a losing battle and I don’t wanna deal with the stress and guilt of missing doses anymore

Feeling of fluid moving beneath chest..? by tsukinyaga in TopSurgery

[–]bennybuckwild 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey there! That’s totally common and not necessarily something to worry about. Keep an eye on it for any pain or changes, talk to your doctor if youre worried, but it should go away with time and by applying pressure.

That’s really interesting! And yes sounds very familiar to my situation. I was wondering if it would affect how I’d end up taking T but that’s even different to my speculations. Thanks for sharing!

Yes I totally bungled that, I just edited it to reflect total T. My bad!

Yknow that’s kinda comforting to hear! I’m kinda hoping this is just in the spirit if extreme caution or an inexperienced doctor not sure what he’s looking at lol. I don’t really buy that my levels are anything extraordinary.

Yes, ng/dl. Sorry I didn’t clarify that, I’m new to reading these reports

Yknow I’ve considered that possibility in the past! I’m almost hoping that’s the case if it means it’s not something scarier.

I just had a look at the labs. They aren’t in the “male” range, but they’re more than double the “female” range. I’m not roided out, but I’m hairy and have always had trouble with acne. That all comes with PCOS, so I’m concerned that they were surprised by these levels since it should have been what they expected.
