I'm going to try estrogen patch and hopefully my chest doesn't get big. I'm feeling well and very happy with the new me

Finally fully healed and happy that I had it done. Not sure what direction I go with hormones, not anything for five weeks since surgery but I have an appt. Next week to discuss.

Sounds interesting as we are both in the same boat now.

It's been a tough 3 weeks, developed a hematoma that started bleeding more more and then my incision opened up and ended up having a plastic surgeon redo the incision and put in a drain tube. Just had a check up yesterday and it has really healed well. I go in next Tuesday to get the sutures out ...

I have had small amount of drainage but nothing more then some spots on the pad. I am surprised by the amount of dark bruising, not sure how long that will take to go away. I go back for a check up on the 4/10 I have not nocticed anything yet with hormones as I'm not on anything at the moment, I was ...

Still somewhat swollen and some black and blue but healing is progressing. Looking forward to be fully healed.

I had my surgery this morning, all went well, I'm home resting now. Happy to be finally be part of the club.

I'll send some updates through the healing process.

I have a Telehealth appt. tomorrow with the nurse about the surgeries, instructions and after care. My conversation last week with the surgeon was very postive. He said that he really has become focused on the plastic surgeries aspect of neat cosmetic appearance. A Vulvuplasty is something I have ...

Had my pre-op today went great. Have a tele appt with the surgeon on wed. Then it's just waiting for March 25th

I use VaPro plus catheters. They are completely sealed with a small bag. Easy and discrete. I also have Botox injection into my bladder 4 times a year to reduce spasiams. The biggest help are using always 6 drop bladder pads and I fold them in half. I also wear stretchy women's panties that hold ...

I had an appt. Yesterday with my gender doctor, all went well. We talk about the up and coming surgery, future further surgery options and post HRT. She did a breast exam and general health questions. I do need to get a MRI breast screening done this spring. She wants me to schedule a follow up appt ...

Insurance approved and the date is scheduled 3/25/24 finally doing this and looking forward to getting them removed and a scrotoplasty.

Thanks, the waiting is the hard part now, but very much look forward to this next step.

I updated my new insurance info to the surgery center and got confirmation that they have it and will submit letters for approval 1/2/24 when the insurance starts. Sadly it could take two months but I'm hoping sooner so I can get scheduled for Orchiectomy and scrotum removal at the same time, sounds ...

Haven't been on in awhile but I did have a consult with my urologist on 12/6 and have two letters, so all is a go. My insurance is changing after the 1st so I will move forward and have insurance approved and then schedule the date and have them removed. Still need to figured out how much of the ...

I will for sure remember the ice packs and alleve in mind as you know getting injured being in a chair is hard to take care of things. I can only imagine the difficult catching for a female. I asked my female therapist her thoughts on if she had to use a catheter and what it would be like to find ...

Meant to say I have no feeling below my waist. Also even though I alway liked to wear panties and some feminine things, I was self conscious about what other would say but other then few joking comment from friend and my girlfriend I just said this is what works and it better then leaking which as ...

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm not well endowed either at this point, I have found for me that wearing stretchy spandex type women's hipster panties that are just solid color with no lace work amazing with a 6 drop Always bladder pad, I,fold them in half as I don't have any bowel issues but they are ...

One thing is my use was gfbi but some got messed up. I have been on here since 2003. A couple questions scrotal reduction or removal but a may want more later on so I think just reduction. I tuck were panties and a pad, so removing them will be much better as well has low T. I also take HRT on and ...

Something I have want for a long time, I have been seeing a gender therapist. I have my two letters sent to my urologist which does gender surgeries. Nest step is a consult with him on 12/6 and then set a date. I'm paralyzed from the wait down. Looking forward to having them gone.
