@Lexi C That is a very nice pic! You look contemplative and content. Posting in black and white is also a nice touch. I can’t wait to see your “After” surgery pic…When you’re all healed up, of course.

Good luck, Lexi! I’m scheduled for FFS in a couple of weeks, too! You’re looking great already, so you’re bound to have great results!

Thanks ladies so much.

WELL this what i look like after, i will take the bandages of 2mor 

I am  not sure Kasumi where your doing your FFS but stay away from White Memorial Hosp in down town L.A

Horrible exp. I was miss gender the whole time( on purpose), at one point the Anesthesia Doc( elderly old Asian man) ask me;

"Why are you here today?"

" I am getting my FFS upper surgery!"

" Why do you want to do that". He was so sarcastic.

The nurses kept calling me sir, even thought I correct then and it said on my chart Miss. 

They forgot to get  X-Ray of my face which the doc order. I was force to wait an extra hr.

An Hour of which start cause me major doubt and worry to point that I began crying. I was so anxious before they but me on the op table I had to pee and the Anesthesia Doc said( as he was putting the tubs in my arms),

"Man up its only a hr and half surgery."

I start to cry uncontrollable cause  one of ER nurse to hung me.

The Anesthesiologist did care, I could hear my Doc scream; 

Don't put her under i don't have her x-ray yet?"

I wake up, they rush( I mean RUSH) me out of the surgery room into the recovery room, gave me my clothes.

I was still so loopy from the anesthesia that I barely comprehended what the nurse ( Who still keep calling sir) was saying.

He hand me a couple off prescription. I told him I wanted get then here cause they don't prescript oxy where i live.

He look piss, tells the head nurse and Doc and i can hear them say; " I don't care just get him out of that room, put him in the waiting room until to he feels better.

I was still so sick, vomiting for all the surgery that they finally let me wait for my friend to go Pharmacy pick up the drugs and take me home.

Even my friend was like; " WHAT THE F was that. ?"

3days after the surgery my Doc assistant finally call me back to check on me and give my post op instructions  

Thank God i had a friend( downstairs N.bor) willing to pick me up.

Cause they wanted to call an Uber to take me home.

I finally much better now but for those past fours i was super depress 

Thank you again for caring. It's over and i have learn that i need to accept the results cause. 

I still feel and look i like a guy but the few people who have seen me say that i look younger.

Not sure if it was worth all the stress and drama i want through

But What is done is done .

Much Lv

Sorry to hear about all your trouble, Miss Lexi! That sounds like a rather unpleasant experience. However, it's probably too early to tell how the surgery turned out. Even when you take off the bandages, it will take some time before your skin and facial fat conform to your face. A lot of doctors--especially surgeons--are not so good with their bedside manner and how they treat patients, even though they perform great surgery. I suspect the results are better than you fear, even if they aren't as good as you hoped. Good luck with your recovery. I hope everything turns out good for you!  

 

By the way, my FFS will be in two days. I'm in Bangkok, and I'm just about finished my two-week quarantine.

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
