Jacob’s top surgery journey

10 days post op
There’s some swelling around the incisions that I hope will go away soon.
For the rest I’m feeling much better, practically back to normal, just can’t reach above my head :)

How’s it looking?

Oh man must be great fr. I haven’t taken the post op binder off yet!!

Last couple of days were harder. The binder hurt my back a lot and it was hard asking for help with so many things! Couldn’t open the fridge or dress myself and was very tired.

Today was a lot better! It’s healing well so far and I’m starting to get used to the binder :)

Not a lot! It was uncomfortable and weird but super quick. Taking off the tape around the IV hurt more lol

My drains were removed and I’m now home. Got to stay for 1 night which was quite nice.

A little short of breath because of how tight the binder is, but the pain is very doable

They already let me look for a second!!
It looked good. Like it made sense. This was my body. Nipple placement did not make me disappointed when I saw it but I did immediately forget where they were lol.
So cool!!
So glad my surgeon immediately showed me, less anxiety for sure!

Congratulations and good luck!

Besides relief, happiness and gratitude I feel sorta lonely
In a room with other people who just woke up and I want to talk to them but no one makes eye contact lmao

I literally just woke up it is done everything went well

That’s great good luck to you too!!

That feeling when top surgery tomorrow

Thank you!

5 more days, time has gone by so quick. I officially can’t follow this semester at uni due to some group projects they won’t let me join online, which is fair enough, still disappointed tho.

What will I do tho, no uni no work no sports!

If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person.

Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~

I keep getting the tip here to get ice packs for top surgery.
No! It stops the swelling bc it reduces blood flow, which you don’t want when you want to heal.
My surgeon also warned me about this.
Stop dm’ing me to get enough ice packs!

3 weeks left
Got an email from uni I have to follow a course next year because of 1 group project. Unfortunately they said I can’t participate online

Less than 4 weeks to go till top surgery! I’m in the process of figuring out how to keep up with uni, got some meetings planned to discuss it :)
Makes me nervous thooo

So exciting good luck!! All will be well

I’d love to participate/ help somehow

Exactly, I don’t mind porn either but I’d like to only see it if I search for it

Glad your son recognised it as such
My interpretation as cultishness stemmed from how the priest as a person and his beliefs became more important than the bible and the religion itself

If the Baptist church counts on, then I had more than a brush 😊

A true professor, always ready to teach haha

Thank you for the good tips I will!

Looks great!
Coincidentally I’m an Anthropology and sociology student :)
I’m getting top surgery in a month and collecting funds now too!

Loved thiss, ‘that’s all I ever wanted’ hit so close, and the ‘I’m happy now’
I loved the entire format of this, like a hug indeed!

Holy shit unrecognisable you look great, such happy eyes too love to see it !

Skye Help me buy groceries while recovering from top surgery

I feel very weird asking for money, but I have made a buymeacoffee account
I’d really appreciate it if you guys could ‘buy me a coffee’, every bit helps finance a part of my #topsurgery journey!

Or share if you can’t afford it :))
