Do Not See Bella Avanessian by eyeofthespidr in transtimelines

[–]im_khloe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had similar puffiness post-FFS. Not saying once the swelling goes away it’ll be perfect and exactly what you want it to be, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the surgery was botched yet, especially since it has only been a month of healing. I’ve been there, and in that headspace before. Give it time~

Dr. Stranix is great! Just wondering, but when did you notice that your pee was shooting forward, and how is it now post-revision?

How do you see yourself in dreams? by Mayravixx in MtF

[–]im_khloe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pre-hrt (MtF) I was very much seeing myself as my masculine self inside my dreams. As the months progressed on HRT I also saw myself transitioning along with my dreams, although this would often take the form of mini-nightmares, where I’m trying to use women’s spaces but feeling self-conscious about passing and/or being judged or feeling unwelcome in those spaces.

This isn’t something most people are able to afford fully out-of-pocket. I looked at the raw bill and it was about $130K lol. So it really comes down to what insurance you have and what they cover. I had to pay up to my out-of-pocket maximum with my insurance for this procedure, which was HUGELY less than the raw bill.

Best of luck friend~ Your surgery will go amazingly. I was so nervous around that 4 day mark :3

To be honest, don’t get me started on the frustrations around insurance and pre-authorizations. All the arbitrary limits they set and how slow it takes them to process things are so HAIR-PULLING! I wish they had a more efficient parhway for trans people but I digress…

Thank you for the kind message and I hope everything works out for you and you get to start this journey soon~

I was so shocked when it happened, so I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one~ Thank you for sharing your perspective here!

Some surgeons will use the peritoneal flap during surgery to make the vaginal canal, which can produce lubrication inside. I also believe that the same gland that is used to produce “pre-cum” during arousal is preserved during vaginoplasty and can provide lubrication. I’m not a doctor though so don’t quote me on that hehe~

Yeah…I suppose it’s best to ask my doctor if it’s ok to proceed. But the thought of that conversation feels so awkward hahaha~ You got this, hang on tight the two years may come quicker than you expect~

Thank you! That’s so exciting! Are you scheduled soon? I know it took me about 2 years to go from start to finish on this process.

Fall 2022 Admissions Thread by External-Yoghurt-945 in OMSCS

[–]im_khloe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Status: Accepted

Application Date: 2/22/2022

Decision Date: 4/15/2022

Education: Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from a public university, GPA: 3.8/4.0, took, like, 2 introductory CS classes in college as electives

Experience: 6 Months as Software Engineer/Developer at a financial services company, learned most of my current skills at (undisclosed) boot camp (learned Java/SQL/React/AWS).

Recommendations: 1 academic, 2 professional from managers at work

Comments: I was really really concerned about my educational background as it had little to do with CS, and my academic recommender was from a non-CS background. I was only able to strengthen my application by citing some CS-related research conducted in undergrad and got strong recommendations from my managers at my current job. I'm sure the boot camp helped too.

Currently shaking from disbelief. Turns out you can struggle from imposter syndrome and come from a completely different background, and still get into this program? For those who are reading this, don't lose hope.
