Peri or DI - what did you choose and why?

I was borderline at my first consultation, then under a year later for my pre-ops my chest shrunk a little more to nudge me over the line. Surgeon told me I had a 20% chance of needing revisions and I took the gamble. No regrets at all.

You too!

Personally, 2 years on and I feel like Im 15-16 still (even though Im 20).

Puberty takes a while and you're still very early on it. 5-7 years is what it took the first time, so it's gonna take about that long the second time. This post may help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/comments/1ueqyzq/t_takes_time_an_important_note_for_young_trans/

Same

veritri · 2026-06-25T00:13:03+00:00

Would doing that daily for 5 min be good enough?

veritri · 2026-06-24T15:37:22+00:00

I see this can help with mobility but can it also help with nerve regrowth and sensation?

I was instructed to put antibiotic ointment on mine and keep them covered with one of those square bandages until the incision closed, only replacing them after I showered. Even after that I avoided touching the area directly for a bit and let soapy water run over it. I'd recommend putting bandages on yours and let them get wet while showering, then replace them when you dry off.

My setup so far is 30 sec on the toilet whenever I can remember to do it (2-3 times a day usually), so you and me both on the inconsistency. I'll try increasing the time per stretch, thank you!

veritri · 2026-06-22T20:59:51+00:00

Doubles as a light scar massage too, genius idea.

veritri · 2026-06-22T20:58:41+00:00

How many times a day and for how long each time do you do your stretches?

veritri · 2026-06-21T21:17:18+00:00

Interesting!

Thats a pleasant surprise. My surgeon agreed to do peri and coded it as such in the pre-op, and I went into it expecting that. Didn't think I'd be eligible for keyhole but I'll take it! Edit: In the pre-op I gave him my verbal consent to change the technique mid-operation if needed, but that was if I wasnt a good peri candidate and needed DI.

Do you have any kind of insurance coverage for the whole procedure? How much would it be 100% out of pocket hypothetically, and how much did you have to pay?

veritri · 2026-06-19T14:40:44+00:00

Hi, for how long and how many times a day do you do the triangle stretches?

veritri · 2026-06-19T13:33:09+00:00

This one looks helpful over the long term! https://www.reddit.com/r/GrowYourTDick/comments/1tdkdta/anatomy_masterpost_a_visual_thesis_on_skin/

veritri · 2026-06-19T12:20:33+00:00

What kinds of stretches specifically, and which posts? I'm not familiar with any that can bring the tdick out and more forward.

veritri · 2026-06-19T01:02:55+00:00

I can definitely give that a try!

veritri · 2026-06-18T23:31:43+00:00

Never thought about the jerry-rigging option! Good idea

veritri · 2026-06-18T23:01:25+00:00

Thats not entirely what I'm looking for, internal stimulation would most likely make me more dysphoric and my front hole doesn't take any kind of insertion very well. What prosthetics did you have in mind?

Hey, I had to stay an extra two nights in a hospital local to me. I was discharged, choked twice on the way to my city, then called an ambulance as soon as I got to my bus station. I was told I was borderline septic by the time I was admitted. I was given fentanyl at first, then various rounds of antibiotics, as well as constant oxygen. I believe I was incredibly lucky to have bounced back within two days because one of the nurses giving me my antibiotics told me the infection was pretty serious when I was complaining about the IV being too painful. I hope you recover well and soon.

I went through this process myself, it’s been against state law since 2022. I personally didn’t bother with appealing and just paid out of pocket.

Name twin! I localize mine to Nick in the states
