Congrats. Never regretted my decision.

Still somewhat swollen and some black and blue but healing is progressing. Looking forward to be fully healed.

Sounds like good progress, mine took a lot longer for the swelling to go down....

I have had small amount of drainage but nothing more then some spots on the pad. I am surprised by the amount of dark bruising, not sure how long that will take to go away. I go back for a check up on the 4/10 I have not nocticed anything yet with hormones as I’m not on anything at the moment, I was about 250 T going into this. I have an appoint 5/8 to talk about hormones going forward.

It’s been a tough 3 weeks, developed a hematoma that started bleeding more more and then my incision opened up and ended up having a plastic surgeon redo the incision and put in a drain tube. Just had a check up yesterday and it has really healed well. I go in next Tuesday to get the sutures out. Can’t wait to be fully healed. Still have a little swelling.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear you are doing better now... Hope the rest of the healing goes well.

Finally fully healed and happy that I had it done. Not sure what direction I go with hormones, not anything for five weeks since surgery but I have an appt. Next week to discuss.

Fantastic news! :balsmilie Glad to hear your healing is finished.

Hormone-wise, I'm a fan of being on E patches, but it's a choice everyone has to make for themselves...

I’m going to try estrogen patch and hopefully my chest doesn’t get big. I’m feeling well and very happy with the new me

Hormone levels are as follows

Testosterone total pre 284 6 weeks post opt. 6.4

Estradiol pre 124 6 weeks post opt. 25 (note I stopped taking it a week before surgery and now just started it again.)

Micronized Progesterone pre 2.0 6 weeks post opt. 0.3 I (Also stopped taking this the week before)

Just need to watch my diet now so I don’t gain weight.
