Hey all

 I haven't made a post on what is going on with me so I decided to make one. In the past few weeks, I have been looking around for a surgeon that will take my insurance.  Well after a few days, I found some down in Utah. I emailed a couple and got an email back from one that said their waiting list is not very long. So after a few emails, I had a free phone consultation and got all my paperwork for the start of me getting gcs. The only thing that is taking a little time will.be getting a second letter. My therapist gave me a couple names today so i.will be calling them on Monday.  So now as it stands, we are shooting for either dec 2 or the 16th of dec. I am really excited about it.  So that's just a little bit about what's going. I will be adding to this later. Thanks. Susan. Hugs!!!!?

How exciting!  Make sure the doctor's office has all your insurance data and keep in touch with them to ensure they get the approvals they need for the anesthesiologist and the hospital too.  You don't want to be surprised by any bills.

 

Keep us updated!!

I have already given them my insurance card and I am fortunate that they know a few people that work at the insurance company. They work with them a lot. I have to get my letters to them before they let me make my appointment to.

Best wishes on the surgery, including the financial/insurance aspects.

So here is an update. I got my second assessment done this past monday and tues and it went really well. The therapist will have my second letter next week. I asked her about the recommendation, She told me that she highly recommends surgery. I also called the surgeons office on monday to check open dates. She told me that the dates are still open at this time and as soon as i get the letter to email it to her right away so she can get my preauthorization going. So to sum things up for now. Everything is going really good and I am really happy. Also i did land a really good job starting money so i can start laser hair removal down below because the surgeon requires it. TC all. HUGS!!!!

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
