EA Forums

Been going through alot of threads and haven't come across any glaring issues. They all read fine to me.

I'll volunteer for reviewing for issues, but i am not schooled in how to fix so feedback is all i can do.

To all those whove made the journey, are in process, or just beginning to gather information to begin: Happy Eunuch Day!

(And to those that helped make it happen by virtue of work on WPATH soc8, articles, this website, etc: thank you!)

I'll have to eat a Mounds candy bar in celebration.

Update: swelling long since gone, some residual (phantom maybe) aches and pains.

Bit more emotional it seems (weepy side of things), but nothing crazy. Fan by the bed though to address random hot flashes. Been eating better and working on weight loss before it becomes a bigger issue.

Glad those days are done, and wish i would have gone down this route sooner.

I can relate to quite a bit of that, i had rubbed things raw on many occasions and still felt compelled to do the act, with does of shame after.

Never at school that i can remember, but many times in the car (even while driving), church bathroom, under the blanket on my grandparents couch, etc. It ...

Congrats! And thanks for sharing your journey for others benefit, too!

^that's what i was alluding to, consistency with measuring due to pubic fat pad changes makes comparisons challenging. I know they say you can compress the pad, but that never worked well.

Doesn't matter much for me as i was more of a grower too, but still on the short side of he curve.

Tough thing for before and after is factoring in weight changes. I measured plenty of times before hand, but am currently in weight loss mode and not sure how to adjust for that in a quantitative fashion.

Welcome aboard!

Hope your surgery goes well, and its great you're looking past it. This is an excellent group here for support.

Welcome aboard!

I think she's known for her Interview with a Vampire and related works. I will have to look up her other ventures.

Welcome aboard!

And now that you've explained it, it seems pretty obvious. Thanks!

(I need to work on my Google-Fu skills)

Not up on all the hip lingo: what exactly is a "MOM" gathering?

I'm a bit late replying, but hope everyone is having a great start to the new year!

Go to Dr. Arnkoff in Michigan.


Ahem:...


Today was the day. I know i haven't followed up in awhile on this, but had my consultation earlier this week, and today went in. No pain yet, but back at home keeping the cat away from my lap will be a challenge for a few.

Followup visit tomorrow.

I ...

Swelling seems to be on the decline, coloration improved. I've used Muralax to keep things flowing smoothly through the intestines so i dont feel the need to strain (probably paranoid overkill, but I've dealt with those issues before and no thank you).

Followup in a few days with the Dr and just ...

^thanks, Wheely. With the swelling its hard enough to fish it out and (graphic content alert) depress the barrel down enough when in a sitting position to not end up making a mess. Standing involves a bit more fidgeting to coax it out.

Little fella isn't very big to begin with, and even this moderate swelling has got it MIA. Makes quick visits to the urinal a bit problematic for the moment.

Pretty sure i read about that in a different post, but didn't occur to me as a possibility until it occured to me . Maybe I'll tie a string ...

Congratulations!!! I'm SO happy for you.

And right now I'm so happy for pain meds and ice packs.

This has gone from a introduction to more of a journal, but thanks for bearing with me.

Bit more swelling and coloration today, but plenty mobile. Sweat pants are my friend currently. Pain is manageable, simple otc stuff does the trick.

Orchie. The scrotal skin stays put.

Day after, about a 2-3 on the pain scale, not much discoloration, some swelling. Am fairly mobile, did go to work but only light duty stuff (no lifting). Any pain or discomfort is acutally above the pubic region (so if that's getting graphic). The surgery site itself is pain free mostly.
