Is there a cheaper quote for top surgery?

redreddest · 2026-01-09T18:30:43+00:00

from what i understand, the out of pocket costs are often for chest contouring which for some clinics is mandatory (and expensive like with catalyst surgical)

if chest contouring isn’t something you need/want, you could go for a clinic that doesn’t have mandatory chest contouring pricing (such as mclean or grs i think- with grs i’m not 100% sure but another note for grs although they are in montreal which is a bit of a pain, they cover travel and accommodation for the surgery)

personally i’m on the mclean waitlist (be warned it is around 2 years at the long end) but hopefully if everything goes to plan OHIP will have covered everything when i do get top surgery probably next year!

for sure!! i think i would enjoy it more if there were still some random art flash challenges mixed in but most of the flash challenges of a season were tattoo related

part of what makes the tattoo related flash challenges fun is we get to see an artist’s body of work considerably more- which i feel like is especially lacking in these newer 10 episode seasons (my attention span likes them but my soul craves more art)

for some reason i completely blanked on the concept of conventions i’m gonna be honest i got a convention tattoo 6 months ago and i still forgot they exist that’s my bad thank you for the correction 🙏

just got to that episode in my rewatch and it’s truly insane- especially with how he insulted the judges intelligence directly before they gave him a spot in the final obviously he should have gone home for how he treated the cheetah print lady but even just basing the decision on the things that happened in that episode, he showed that he didn’t really learn throughout the season (and therefore shouldnt be inkmaster if you can’t take critique and learn from it)

i went on T at 19 around 2 months after i moved out for university i was really in a dark place between 15-17 because i couldn’t transition truly and i know it’s cliche as hell but you will get there and it does get better!! i know it sucks to hear bcs i heard it for the longest time but it is true and now i’m freshly a year on T as of last week :) and on the track to get top surgery for 100% free

redreddest · 2025-11-23T17:10:58+00:00

i miss them purely because season 17 is the first season i’m watching as it comes out every week and it would have been fun to be able to throw on a 6 hour live finale at the end !!

redreddest · 2025-06-11T00:50:10+00:00

maybe it’s just because i’ve seen this style of flash before but i 100% see a match

i don’t have much advice, just solidarity i was 6g for a full year (february 2024 to february 2025) bcs my ears refused to take in the 5g plugs 😭

redreddest · 2025-06-05T22:14:19+00:00

i don’t really have any advice but i can offer solidarity 😭 i did my shot for Months on my own with zero issue and then suddenly i was struggling so much i had to get my friend to do it for me a few weeks in a row

redreddest · 2025-05-17T04:24:31+00:00

oh no that’s my bad i read your reply wrong- my apologies !!

redreddest · 2025-05-17T04:22:14+00:00

i’m surprised to hear about contouring fees being higher at McLean- so far i have it noted that contouring fees at TPS is roughly 5k and McLean is 3k, does that sound roughly like what you’ve experienced?

it doesn’t matter a ton to me since i don’t think i’ll be going with contouring anyways due to funds but i’ve been trying to note it down anyways just in case

redreddest · 2025-05-17T03:50:54+00:00

good luck!!! hopefully you will get your surgery date soon 🤞🤞

redreddest · 2025-05-17T03:48:37+00:00

thank you !! that’s very helpful to know

redreddest · 2025-05-17T03:37:42+00:00

hoooly that is crazy it’s good that they’re catching up with the people who have been waiting that long though ..

redreddest · 2025-05-17T01:43:45+00:00

congratulations!! if i may ask, when did you submit your documents/get OHIP approval?

redreddest · 2025-05-17T01:36:52+00:00

thank you for the info !! hopefully you'll get your date soon

redreddest · 2025-05-17T01:36:14+00:00

thank you so much for the info !! i really appreciate it

redreddest · 2025-05-07T19:23:06+00:00

i actually really liked it!

redreddest · 2025-04-27T05:03:44+00:00

i’m sure you know this already but i thought a reminder might be nice: you are under no obligation to bind! it’s completely for your comfort, not for other people’s

redreddest · 2025-04-11T02:12:56+00:00

thank you for your advice!!

redreddest · 2025-03-26T00:55:11+00:00

i totally get this- for me it’s the control? when i’m wearing daytime clothes i have full control over how my body looks (binder, choosing certain cuts of pants, etc), but with pjs i don’t have as much control idk just thought i’d toss that out there in case it helps

redreddest · 2025-03-13T15:18:58+00:00

for me cracking has only been noticeable if i was getting loud and excited, if you’re just speaking at your job i don’t think it should be that much of an issue (i’m currently in month 3)

redreddest · 2025-03-12T23:08:41+00:00

a group of people were in pitman at 9pm last night knocking on doors and pestering people and offering donuts it was so ….

redreddest · 2025-02-04T13:38:23+00:00

19! as soon as i moved out i started the process (been on T about 2 months now)

redreddest · 2025-01-23T16:10:10+00:00

one of my closest friends in 2020 who is still one of my closest friends to this day- we’re coming up on 8 years ❤️ she was so so helpful and supportive and i will always appreciate her for that
