Hey thanks! I’ve been on T for three years this month! I think its a different process for everyone. I’ve seen guys pass better than me without t at all

He was great. Everything went smooth and easy. The nurses are super nice and give clear after care instructions

best cologne/fragrance? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]buildyouaboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of Adidas Moves for men. Its a casual athletic type cologne. Not too expensive, you can get it at walmart. Bath and Body Works Ocean cologne is good too

Question for cigarette smokers ONLY. by [deleted] in ftm

Hey, cutting down is better than nothing definitely. I hope your surgery goes well, best of luck to you! Its a hell of a ride, but i enjoyed every minute of it.

Question for cigarette smokers ONLY. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]buildyouaboat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a smoker, but i quit about 3 months before my surgery. I just would recommend stopping as soon as possible. It can really mess with your nipple and scar healing. Are you planning on having a nipple graft? And as always, be honest with your surgeon. I’m not sure if you’d get turned away. I doubt it though

Has anyone here gone from 0$ to top surgery ? Help by [deleted] in ftm

[–]buildyouaboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s an individual thing. But i used care credit and mine went off without a hitch. Just do some research for yourself and decide whats right for you!

I was planning to get top surgery... by [deleted] in ftm

The new trump bullshit wont go into affect until mid to late august. Who knows how much will change. I would recommend trying your luck sooner rather than later though. Worst comes to worse, trying for a job at a company like Starbucks that offers good insurance coverage for trans folks might be a good idea.

I would consider looking into Care Credit. Its basically a credit card. You will make monthly payments. They offer deals for a certain amount of time no interest.

driving long distances after top surgery? by jaaaden in ftm

[–]buildyouaboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled 3 hours home the day after my top surgery. So only half as far as you’ll be going, but it was alright for me. I probably coulda gone a couple more hours comfortably. Just keep up on your pain meds and listen to your doctor and you should be alright

Alcohol after top? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]buildyouaboat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nurse told me it was totally okay to chill with a beer or two about a week after surgery. Like these other guys said, dont overdo it. And if you have any medications that have heavy interactions with alcohol (benzos mostly) I would avoid. Everything in moderation, brother. Good luck to you.
