Trans Guy Problems: Top Surgery Recovery

Top surgery is a super exciting time, but there is just the little matter of dealing with the recovery time!

It's definitely worth it, but can be slightly problematic from reaching for things to even wiping your own butt.

Hope you like the video :)

“You can’t shower for like 10-14 days”
So like a normal depressive episode

My surgery is in 45 days. I'm nervous but ready!

I'm a cis woman but I need a similar surgery, breast reduction, for back issues. The recovery from what I've seen is very similar.
The showering part here in Brazil is going to be a nightmare, my poor fiance who lives with me is going to deal with it.
I'm loving your videos.

I frickin love how light-heartedly you address this stuff! I've got one hell of a fear of pretty much anything medical but I desperately want top surgery eventually, this kind of video makes thinking about it so much more bearable. Thank you! ♥

My husband is about to get his surgery in a month and I’m trying to prep myself for care and maintenance of Husband 2.0, now streamlined

This video was very helpful!

I watched this video in 2016 when I was just a kid and knew I was trans, I was curious about surgeries and such. Now my top surgery is in 10 days.

I tend to use my feet to grab things and my mother always berated me for it, jokes on her though coz it's gonna come in handy now.

When I get top surgery all I'm gonna wear is my T. rex onsie.

I'm saving up for surgery right now and I can 100% say with confidence that my boyfriend is not looking forward to having a stinky bf for a week and a half/two weeks when it's all said and done lol

From a mom of a 17 year old FTM who is wanting Top Surgery, thank you so much for this video. Humor is always a comfort, and your honesty is very appreciated. You covered some serious questions I had as a mom who of course will worry about any surgery on her child, and how to help him through recovery. Sounds like it's going to be sink bathes, wiping his bum again, and a lot of air freshener. o.O ..Now I have to go google up 'dying nipples' and let me tell you, if this kid's nippy turns black and falls off.. I will scream and run the other direction. That or super glue it back on. :D

I'm having top surgery in 7 hours, woooo!

[rloach]

i'm really scared of the recovery... only because i can't stand smelling bad or not showering for more than 2 days (i usually shower everyday). I don't know if i will resist the temptation of changing the bandages and cleaning myself up deeply TAT

My top surgery was just yesterday! A lot of this stuff is so true already; getting comfy is damn near impossible, but I'll (luckily) be able to shower after only a week. For me another thing that's troublesome is the two drains on my sides and having to empty them, especially when I get incredibly nauseous and almost faint at the sight of my own blood in tubes (IVs, blood draws, etc). Looking away doesn't help either since I know they're there and being emptied lol.

One thing that's kinda helped is one of my pets is sick and needs to be monitored closely, so it's gotten my mind off of me a bit since I'm worried about him. Plus, we can recover together!
