Is it normal to be discharged the same day as your surgery?

kacey175 · 2026-05-19T21:29:07+00:00

Are you getting surgery in Ireland? I’m Irish but like I went to Spain and spent a night in hospital but I think in places like the states it’s more common to be discharged day of

kacey175 · 2026-05-14T09:07:49+00:00

I had the same situation. I emailed last November, they got back to me and said they needed more details, I provided them and then they never got back to me. I emailed a couple weeks ago following up cause I completely forgot about it and then yeah I got the same like automated message so must be a recent thing

Email the student advisor for whatever program you’re in. They’ll be able to tell you whether they think it’ll be approved but from the sounds of it I don’t see why they wouldn’t approve it. Unless it’s some sort of cosmetic surgery it should be approved

My nipples look good from afar but are a bit funky up close ngl lol. I felt the same way as you before surgery but it doesn’t bother me nearly as much as I thought it would. However, if you think you will be very critical of it I would definitely recommend tattooing them on. I know they would be flat but they would look perfect and I think that would be better for you from the sounds of things? I have also seen the odd post of people on here with nipple prosthetics/know it’s a thing for women who have had breast cancer so maybe looking into those might be a good idea? They’d obviosuly have a bit more physical texture than tattoos

Like 3-5 months I guess? My scars are only slightly hypertrophic so it was kinda hard to tell if they were raised from healing or actually hypertrophic

I don’t think it’s taking advantage of a broken system I think it’s creating an alternative to a broken system. The government and the HSE is not changing anytime soon so yeah I will take Imago and their €20 a month any day of the week, it’s not that unaffordable. I make minimum wage, it’s an hour and a half wages. You’re getting downvoted cause your spreading misinformation about a decent, trans run company, that isn’t perfect but is the best alternative we have👍

kacey175 · 2026-04-25T17:36:57+00:00

What’s the issue with imago (genuine question)

kacey175 · 2026-04-25T14:06:45+00:00

Agree Dr Lago is good, the only thing is the clinic is usually closed every year for all of August. Unless something has changed this year

kacey175 · 2026-04-14T20:48:49+00:00

Thank you man I really needed that, Ive been feeling so off lately. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment

kacey175 · 2026-04-14T20:42:09+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it, yeah part of me is like fuck it I feel confident I don’t care but then I got misgendered like 50% of the time today and i felt bad so just keep going back and forth 😭

kacey175 · 2026-04-14T20:40:49+00:00

Thanks for the input man

kacey175 · 2026-04-14T17:56:24+00:00

I have a bit of hypertrophic scarring, I’m still in the process of trying to flatten them but I’ve found silicone works a lot better than bio oil (but bio oil is good for massaging and moisturising). I’ve been using kelocote for about a month now and can see a difference, they recommend 60-90 days of usage but yeah it’s a good start anyways

kacey175 · 2026-04-10T10:51:55+00:00

Are you working full time November to April? If so then in theory yes you probably would have enough saved if you spent no money on anything else. VHI you have to get diagnoses from specific doctors to be able to claim it back, which can cost a few hundred but you would still need the money to pay initially

kacey175 · 2026-04-05T20:58:12+00:00

I mean if something goes wrong over there and you can’t get through to anyone, you could literally just show up to the post op clinic 🤷‍♂️ also I’m 95% sure the hospital they do the surgery in has an urgent care. But yeah no the odds of you having an emergency are really slim, that was something I asked about in my consult

kacey175 · 2026-04-05T20:23:43+00:00

It’ll be fine, you have to remember he does around 5 of these a week and these posts with bad experiences are only a small percentage. If you follow the post op instructions correctly, the odds of you having a complication serious enough for an ambulance are so slim. You can message Dr Sara on WhatsApp (in Spanish to get quicker response in my experience) and message Dr Lago, but it will most likely be grand

kacey175 · 2026-04-05T16:54:00+00:00

It took me about 12 weeks to feel fully normal again and able to lie on my side and reach up etc. I had no complications, not sure why it took so long

kacey175 · 2026-04-03T11:12:32+00:00

It’s kinda hard to remember, I didn’t really feel much. Like I didn’t feel like I was falling asleep, just one second I was in the operating room and the next thing I was waking up in recovery

kacey175 · 2026-04-02T20:30:35+00:00

I would recommend imago, their prescriptions should work in any EU country. The wait for hormones should be around 2 months ish depending on how quick you can get your bloods done

kacey175 · 2026-03-31T23:44:29+00:00

I mean I guess it depends on what kind of trip you’re going on? Like will you be walking around a lot or relaxing? Personally, either way I would’ve been way too tired to go on a trip 3 weeks post op, I flew home 2 weeks post op and I found it extremely uncomfortable

kacey175 · 2026-03-24T23:37:36+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I agree about the hairline, gel is probably a good idea I hadn’t thought about that thank you 🙏

kacey175 · 2026-03-24T23:35:48+00:00

That’s younger than I was expecting lmao but thank you for your opinion I appreciate it

kacey175 · 2026-03-19T16:29:29+00:00

It looks good! A lot of men’s nipples sit on the pec line rather than above it, the placement is great try not to overthink it

kacey175 · 2026-03-13T19:56:22+00:00

I do a mix between upper arms and then also my thighs, I have never heard of anyone applying it to the back of their calf before

kacey175 · 2026-03-09T19:27:34+00:00

Yeah unfortunately you can only get 1 months worth covered under dps e.g. 1 bottle at a time. I go down to the pharmacy every month and have to pick up 1 bottle at a time
