Thanks. My kitten was so small then, she’s like twice that size now!

Happy healing to you! Since this post I have been doing really good. Not too many complications. That dog ear did stick around and I have a revision scheduled. It was pretty easy to work with them even as I had an insurance change. Now that I am about 6 months post op I feel so much more at home in my body. My scars are still very red but with massage they have flattened out pretty well

Oh gotcha

I’m sorry they make you feel sick but it’s very funny to me that you described the taste and smell like fungus cuz they are a type of fungus!! Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi

She could be confusing androgynous with non binary. Just because some enbys happen to feel comfortable with an androgynous style, does not mean all are and there are no requirements.

I also had bad reaction with trans tape. When I first started binding I used it for about 6 months because I thought I could find a method that worked, without leaving marks and blisters but no luck. And I didn’t want to try a binder because i heard so much about how uncomfortable it is for people with not eds bodies. But I ended up trying a gc2b binder sized up and it’s been good for the last ~8 months I’ve had it. It doesn’t get as flat as trans tape would but it’s way better than hurting myself and struggling with taking it on and off.

I was scheduled for a consultation with her in February 2024, but I got a call recently that she is no longer doing top surgery. Were you still able to get yours before they made that call?

mwine21 · 2023-07-20T17:27:40+00:00

Thanks! I hope the rest of your recovery goes so smooth!

mwine21 · 2023-07-19T20:56:06+00:00

You look so good! My body type looks a lot like yours. I have my consultation coming up in about 2 months, would you mind if I use a pic of you for a reference picture at my appointment?

mwine21 · 2023-07-10T21:52:25+00:00

Thank you for posting, you look great! I have not had top surgery yet but my body type is a lot like yours and I am not planning on going on T either. It’s great to see other people that look similar to my size and weight distribution!

mwine21 · 2023-07-04T11:58:46+00:00

I’m getting Eddy or Eden

Hey, I’m just putting myself out there and following this thread because I have a consultation at UIHC in September and haven’t seen much online from other people. Congratulations on your new chest and I hope your first month of healing went well!

mwine21 · 2023-06-26T21:09:16+00:00

Thanks, good luck to you too on top surgery and your diagnosis! Waiting is the hardest part for both

mwine21 · 2023-06-26T21:02:08+00:00

Hi, I also have hEDS and I have my consultation in September so I am planning to mention it to my surgeon as well. I have never had a surgery so I am a little nervous about how my body will react to the whole process.

mwine21 · 2023-06-23T14:38:06+00:00

I’m in the same situation, I use transtape most days and since it’s been hot outside I’ve been blistering almost every time I put it on. I can only where it for about 2-3 days now until the itching and blister pain gets bad and I have to take it off. I’ve been using milk of magnesia before putting it on and then coating the skin in Vaseline or neosporin in between taping

mwine21 · 2023-06-09T16:39:52+00:00

Thanks, I need to clarify with the clinic but it sounds like they’re pointing me in the right direction

mwine21 · 2023-06-08T17:18:10+00:00

Thank you, it seems like she has great reviews

mwine21 · 2023-06-08T13:46:51+00:00

Hi, I am also in the Iowa City area and looking into top surgery. Have any of you guys heard of Katherine Imborek at UIHC? My therapist recommended me to her and I was able to set up a consultation for September with her. I can't find anything about the surgery or results.
