That's what i thought. I why i like those specifically is i can tuck my cock sock directly in the pouch even though there is velcro that attaches to the band the fabric holds everything in so I feel safe about nothing falling out. they aren't as bulking underneath either and like I said the fabric drys quickly so you don't have the wet undie phenomenon

So how did you pay for your surgery?
I got a very low %, bank loan.

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.

Default 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

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.

Hey, Camo.

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