I’m so happy I got bottom surgery. For the multitude of reasons mentioned prior and the following.
Talking about genitals, slightly NSFW
My new bits feel amazing. Still mostly numb, but the parts that aren’t are awesome. So much better than having a penis. Things finally feel right.
Life is great :>
clueless but well meaning questions
Is the numbness supposed to be temporary or will it start having feeling soon? Is there any real way to know or is it a wait and see deal?Explanations
It is very much temporary. Numbness can last up to a year. I started to get some feeling back already, but most of it is numb still. Probably a good 95% still is. The clitoris was never numb btw, which is the important part imo. Also, if my puppy wife is anything to go by, it all resolves within 6 months. But yeah, it is definitely a wait and see ordeal.I think it was like two months for me (it's been a while), so if you're lucky you may not need to wait so long! Congrats on the surgery.
Thank you :3
I’m 6 weeks post-op this week so I still have time. I AM nervous about it all because I had a tummy tuck the better part of a decade ago and never regained feeling from it. Even if this never regained feeling I’d still be okay, but it would definitely be less than ideal.
Can I ask how much you paid for the surgery? I've been wanting it for a while and I've just heard it's so overwhelmingly expensive I haven't had the energy to confirm that.
At least in any state on the west coast it would be covered by insurance pretty much entirely I am pretty sure. In fact I have a trans friend who paid 50 dollar copay for her FFS and another 50 dollar copay for her top surgery (BA)
God damn :sicko-wistful: I would have thought ffs would be like, thousands or tens of thousands. Just completely out of reach. Cool that insurance covers it.
California requires coverage I believe for all gender affirming stuff. Laser hair removal for face (you can argue for body too...), ffs, BA, bottom surgery... depends on your insurance plan but I would hit the deductible for this so it would be like 2k?
In my experience it was hitting the deductible and a copay for the hospital stay. My deductible was in the lower end so it wasn't that bad. It varies based on insurance and state though
Not a dime. My insurance paid for it in its entirety. Mind you I met a $3k deductible prior to it. However, it was roughly $36k if my hospital paperwork is to be believed.
