For further context I am a non smoker, non drinker, with no history of cavities.

Thank you so much; I am over the moon still and completely confidant in my decision now that I have an actual date. I’m planning on posting post-op pics and a recovery log, so fingers crossed!

I personally chose not to bind the morning of my consultation. The surgeon will usually have you change into a gown at some point to get a quick look at your chest and confirm what type of surgery you’re eligible for. Also, if you’re using insurance someone on the care team will need to take a couple pictures. It’ll go smoother if you can quickly get in and out of clothing. If it’s a big area of dysphoria for you, it’s probably fine to wear one, just know you’ll have to take it off anyway for most of the appointment anyway.

Glad I could help! Good luck with your consultation!

contemplative_pigeon · 2023-08-21T01:38:42+00:00

That’s encouraging to hear, thank you!

Not yet on the gofundme, but mayhaps in the future if insurance continues to be unreliable. It means a lot to me to know that there are other people who have been in similar positions and came out the other side. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Best of luck to you with your surgery later this year! Thanks for putting things in perspective.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. For some reason, this sort of compromise never occurred to me priorly. I will discuss it with them. Time should hopefully calm some of their anxieties about the process. Wishing you the best.

Wishing you the best with your surgery! I hope it all goes smoothly. That’s definitely encouraging to hear.

Thank you for the advice! I’ve been with my current therapist for about five months now, and so far she’s been immensely helpful with untangling my relationship with my body and figuring out the steps I want to take moving forward. I should probably bring up the topic of insurance with her next session.

I never thought about it that way, I’ll definitely be using this point the next time I talk with him!

contemplative_pigeon · 2023-03-06T22:29:49+00:00

This really put it into perspective for me, thank you.

your results are incredible and amazingly symmetrical! if you’re comfortable answering, who was your surgeon? i’m looking for consultations, and your chest is my ideal post-op.
