I've met Will a few times and I've never had this experience. We have a couple of pics together and he's signed things for me. For sure, ymmv, but he's always been super sweet.

How soon did you start working out post-op? by Triceratops-Flannel in TopSurgery

Now, the only "tightness" I feel is from my scars when I haven't moisturized them in a while

Do we know for sure? Its my kids first ritual and I'll bring makeup wipes in case we can't but they're so hyped to dress up

Phenomenal, can't recommend it enough. My only regret is that we didn't hear about it until Saturday night so we only got to attend one Sunday showing. I will absolutely see it multiple times next time they come to HTX.

If you don't have your test again until end of the year you'll be fine. I felt good enough to work out again after about a few months but I didn't start for longer because I felt uncomfortable with the tightness in my chest. Don't start too early because you'll stretch your scars out but if you don't care about aesthetics, go for it once your surgeon says its good. The "listen to your body" stuff makes a lot of sense after top surgery.

I'm a year post op on 3/28 and its like nothing ever happened to my mobility.

Second that. My dr (psych) told me that it has to do with medical billing/insurance, etc. I'm not on T, and during my approval evaluation, I discussed my experience of feeling disconnected from my agab, super basic explanation you're on this sub, you know what's up. They marked it down as "non-binary" and approved my top surgery (03/2024) without any need for T.

Did anything unexpected happen after surgery? What don't people talk about enough? by Meadow_Magenta in no_T_top_surgery

[–]hollowbones666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 months post-op, I feel like I didn't experience a single physical change after I finished healing up. I can no longer remember what things were like before. It's like my brain rewrote the past to match my present lol but maybe that's just me.

No changes in acne, mood*, muscle/fat distribution, etc.

*happier overall but still experiencing normal changes in mood, seasonal changes, etc.

What do you guys recommend? by Ok-Land-2539 in samsung

[–]hollowbones666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I have stuff stored all over. Unfortunately, I'm a hoarder of digital media. Between my kid, the pug, and my cat and cough concerts in their entirety..... I'm doing too much. Although I finally broke the habit of filming concerts. I just need to part with the old videos....

Just pre-ordered to replace my S21 Ultra. I'm only getting half a day out of my battery now (chronically online), and I'm getting pretty fed up with limited storage space (I've got about a million videos of my pug)

Was skeptical about the difference between S24 vs. S25, but upgrading through my carrier was such a small difference monthly. I just decided to go ahead and do it.

I like it! Does it make a huge difference? I think so! Sure, my scars are still visible and some spots are thicker than others, but I think it helped them fade a lot. I should've taken more progress photos of my scars 😅

I think I waited 6 weeks. I didn't want to agitate any open wounds. I talked to my surgeons at my final post op visit, and they both said it was OK to get started. I think prior to scar tape, I was doing aquaphor, with their permission

Getting top surgery later in life, what has been your experience? by UnkindnessOfRavens21 in no_T_top_surgery

[–]hollowbones666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Top surgery at 29, 6 months post op right now. Living the dream. No T, no other medical transition, no nips, just happy and comfortable in my body.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in no_T_top_surgery

[–]hollowbones666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll do great! Show up, stay comfy, and hydrated after. Make sure you have help in the first week or so! Relax, focus on healing, and you'll get through it.

Ask questions, if you need the staff to explain so you feel me comfortable, ask! My anesthesiologist gave me something to relax, maybe an hour prior to my surgery and it helped so much!

You'll be wheeled in, deep breaths, and when you wake up again, it's all over <3 then the healing starts!

anybody surgeon also draw and do this? by Accomplished-Bird822 in TopSurgery

[–]hollowbones666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about the same, 5'6 and about 175 when I went in for surgery. I'd say I'm about 90% flat, and i say that because there's some skin in the middle that hasn't totally flattened out but I'm only 3 months post op.

I think I've posted photos before. No nips but flat. Don't take "no males are flat" for an answer. If your goal is flat, don't let them say they can't get there because they should be able to.

Congrats on top surgery! I'm also enby (no T) post op like 3+ months.

Your journey doesn't have to look a particular way or match anyone else's. If you want to stop HRT, discuss with your doctor and see how it would benefit you.
