it's coocoo bananas to me that you had drains for so long! i think it depends on the surgeon and what they like to do. i had drains just overnight and they took them out like 24 hours after the surgery. thank you for sharing about your top surgery!! i had surgery like a month after that and it was fun and comforting to see you ahead of me. i got stupid blisters (and a scar from a blister) from the surgical binder in my underarm area. pro-tip: you can put bandages, socks or soft things over the edges of the post-surgical binder that bother you. i figured that out kind of too late. (i don't mind too much.) i love not having boobs anymore. every day i wake up and it makes me incredibly happy. it gives me so much joy and energy i never had before. i love trans health care and trans people. ❤🏳⚧🏳🌈❤
oh and also i got sent home on the day after! i'm in europe but i got top surgery in a private practice and paid for it by myself. so maybe that's why only one day of drains for me!
the only thing I will probably miss or be confused about post top surgery is not having a built in shelf or phone prop. As much as they give me dysphoria and hurt my back like how am I gonna carry stuff? When I watch stuff on my phone I usually use my chest as a cushion to elavate my hands and arms to bring it closer to my face. Its still gonna be worth it no question about that, but it will definitely affect how I exist in my body in so many exciting and weird ways
this was such a nice video, im on waitlist rn, and it was cool to get an overview of your experience! thank you!! 💗💕 quick question: where was the purple mascetomy pillow you showed in a tiktok or two from?? i thought it looked so cute, and hearing your comments about how the sides' protection really helped against cats (and kicky babies) made me REALLY want to look into it. my cat is obsessed with sleeping ontop of my chest, esp in bed, even when i am on my side. a reverse-image search took me to Suzile's lavender masectomy pillow on Ámáźóń. is that what you had??
@@guaranteedbyshwarmi Yes! We got the one from Amazon and it arrived quickly, which is what we needed bc we forgot to order it until like 2 days before lol
how did you decide which surgeon you would go to? i feel like im so picky that even a single bad review terrifies me. i’m concerned about not enough flatness (earflaps), my doc not having enough experience on bigger bodies, etc.
Every cis het woman in my family and me, a cis queer woman, wants our boobs gone, not a single woman in my family wants to have boobs, it’s a strong gene that has been passed on in my family 😂
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m an AFAB enbie and this has confirmed that at least right now, I very much do not want top surgery, if I could magic my tits off? That’d be cool. But do I want them gone bad enough to put up with surgery and everything else? Nope, I do not want them gone that badly, lol
describing having boobs for you as wearing underwear that is just a bit too little/tight is SUCH a good description.
I appreciate you being so open and honest, I learn so much. This was SO interesting, both for your answers, but also for the questions people had ❤
im getting top surgery tomorrow morning, this was perfect timing lmao😭
Ahh!!! Congrats!!!!!
