top surgery

Gentle Tiger · 09-23-2012, 08:52 PM

I was thinking some more about your question and my answer ahk. In addition to quality of work, and feedback from guys to went to him, I also chose Dr. Raphael because of the connection between their office and the hotel I stayed at. There was a shuttle. And there was no cost. The hotel was great and there was a discount because of what I was there for. And the nursing staff really follows up. As it has been said, you have to go with the one you're most comfortable with. I chose to deal with the distance, and logistics of travel to go to the Doctor and team I felt the most at ease with.

I wish you well in your journey.

Hey everyone, forgive my intrusion, but I am looking for some help for a friend. A young transman here in Nanaimo, will be in SF next month for his top surgery. I'm just looking for a few folks that might be willing to do lunch or coffee or something with him and his girlfriend. They really have no support system down there, and dont know anyone.
If you might be able and willing to meet up with this couple, send me a PM, I will pass it along. He is a good guy, VERY strong and active in the queer/trans youth program here in Nanaimo.

Thanks

you might want to post in the bay area stuff thread ... and see if you get any response there? A lot of us on this thread don't live in the bay area so hard to help out!

Hey, guys, I didn't know about this organization until today

http://inabind.transactiveonline.org/

It is a 21 years old and under transguys binder program. Everyone knows about the Big Brother Binder program (for trans 18 and older), but I didn't know about the above. Right now Big Brother Binder program is actually suggesting people donate to the teen site because Big Brother is not in need.

So, if anyone has any extra binders around or have gotten surgery/going to get surgery, consider sending your binders to them.

Also, I never thought about any serious dangers associated with using actual chest binders, only bandages/tape. I haven't seen any threads in the trans or butch zones on binding.

Take care of yourselves, folks!

As a comment about Dr. Raphael, I did a consult with him, earlier this year, about transition related surgery, and felt very comfortable with him. I would certainly consider him for my surgeries. Unfortunately, he doesn't do bottom surgery for mtfs.
