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

As far as I know, it's all up to how your doctor writes up your diagnosis. Since he has a history with you, I would certainly hope he does it in a way that doesn't raise flags for the insurance company.

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.
