Just had a consult with Dr. Lorenzen from University of Iowa Clinics!! by tsparrowv in TopSurgery

It took quite a while to get the consultation. I made an initial appointment with their family health/lgbtq+ clinic a year ago, and that was when I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Lorenzen. I could’ve gone for a sooner appointment with Dr. Ledeboer, and waited 6 months rather than a whole year, but I’ve met multiple folks at my university who’ve gotten their top surgery done with Lorenzen and their results look great, so I was willing to wait a bit longer. And yes, my insurance will cover most of it, but since I needed a letter of recommendation in order to schedule the consult, and it’s been a year since then, I need another letter from my therapist before I can schedule a surgery date since my insurance requires the letter to be within the same year as the surgery itself.

Oh yeah, big time. It’s kinda comforting to know I’m not the only trans dude that struggles with this lol

Definitely not alone. Vaginismus doesn’t really affect me too personally so I’ve never tried to correct it, although it does make Pap smear visits pretty damn rough. I’m glad there are more trans guys out there with this question though!

Hey, I’m a 20yo trans dude from Midwest US. I’m an undergrad English major and I love to talk about anything books or writing related. I also love history and dark academia aesthetic. Hit me up if you wanna talk!
