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!!!!

Congrats to you on moving closer to getting GCS, Susan.  Happiness is so very important but so often hard to attain.  Its helps landing a good job like you did.  I love good news...thanks for sharing!

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
