I think I have also use pair of jockey's pouch underwear with a cock sock attached
http://www.jockey.com/products/Sport...r-Brief-2-pack Probably could use any underwear but just my preference and the fabric for the sports ones is more constricting then a plain cotton pair and dries quicker when in and out of water. If you have a jockey outlet near you that's wear I recomment buying them. You can get the best deals in their outlets! |

I used Dr. Peter Raphael in Plano Tx. http://www.ai4ps.com/procedures/tran...le-mastectomy/ He charged me $6000 which included everything. Visits, consults, surgery, surg facility, follow up. Because I was alone, I had to pay them $550 for a nights stay at a private hotel suite w/ a private nurse. There is an extended stay place right down street that gives a special rate to his clients. Dont rem how much it was, but think it was about &175 for the week. There was also some cost for labs & the med scripts for surg day, which my ins covered. I did about all of it for the $7000 I borrowed. The big expense at the time was all the oncologist ,cardiac & blood work I had to under go to prep for the surgery. Ins covered most, but 20% was still over a $1000. TIPS BASED ON EXP.: If you get a loan, try to use a bank. Those Med Loan companies are only 1 step under loan shark rates. One told me that I had such excellent credit they would only charge me 28.9% interest. WTF? LOL My bank gave me a 3 yr loan @ 2.9% bc I have excellent credit. Get a list of all after care supplies prior to surg travel. Stock up on all this. Take some with you if you will be staying in a hotel. Leave some at home so you dont have to shop or run out after surgery. If you can afford it, order/buy your compression garments prior as well. You WILL want to get out of those ace wraps asap. LOL I used a great zip up front vest. (approx $60-$75) You WILL NOT be able to get one over your head. I advise 2 if you can. |
The OTHER stuff!
Hey I know this part isn't talked about as much but I have a few questions. If you aren't comfortable posting here a pm would work!
I've been on T shots for 3 or 4 years damn .. can't quite remember and on the creme a couple years prior to that. I started that in august of 2005. So I know I need to have the inner workings removed soon. I'm hoping to get that part covered by insurance. Any pointers on making sure that happens? Also what is a time line for recovery on that, so I can figure out the best time in regards to work for doing it? I'm going to make an appoinment with my gyno soon but since i'm his only transgender patient the more info I go in with the better. Thanks |

If I could remember the wording for mine, I'd happily share it. I do remember something about painful polyps or cysts.......something like that. I'm sure your doc will know what works and what doesn't. The recovery time is going to depend a lot on the procedure the surgeon uses. One, in particular, is less invasive. I would say you'd be more than safe with 3-4 weeks. |

I know when we briefly talked about it before he mentioned how he did it but can't quite remember I know it is a lot less invasive then it used to be. |
I have a question for anyone on T. How often do you go to your doctor for bloodwork and checkups.
My doctor is making me come in every 3 months for bloodwork and checkups. I will have been on T one year in July. Is this normal when you first start T? Rufus |

Were you pleased with his work? I remember him getting high ratings when transter dot com was around. |

I get it checked about every 3 months also
|
Every 3 months is very common at first from what I understand, I am also doing the same. They said after the first year I can drop it down to every 6 months, and then after another year of that, the doctor says I can go down to once a year if everything looks good.
On top of that, they also started my dose low, and while it was recently upped to .5ml every two weeks, we are using the 3 month mark to continue to up my dose as well, so that my body is easing into things. |
i've been doing it a few years now and my dr typically does it once a year however i have other issues so i'm due back in 6 monthes. However he's under my insurance, he's also my urologist so it works out fine.

So de-boob-ification was a success. I've been going between deep sleep to lucid to wide awake. I'm actually surprised how little pain I feel (most of the pain is on the side, which Dr. V warned me about). K has been awesome at helping me out, especially for bathroom trips.
A few people have repped me about surprise that I'm home already. This surgery is considered day surgery and generally doesn't take more than 2.5 to 3 hours (at least the one that Dr. V performed on me). Once awake from anesthesia, I'm ok to go home and have a quiet sleepy day of drugs and clear fluids. As it turned out I did get drains but given that they are slowing and becoming more clear I'm hopeful that I will get them removed tomorrow. |
