Hi all, long time, no type.

I'm now 3 years 2 months post top surgery! Not much has changed besides the scars continuing to fade. Still a little redness in one place, but mostly now the scars just appear a little darker than the rest of my skin.

Meta!

After 2+ years of nightmare world with Dr. Meltzer's clinic, the conclusion is that I am now getting surgery with Dr. Esmonde, who was trained by Meltzer, and is located in Portland. I was handed over to him, unbeknownst to both of us (I thought my surgery was completely cancelled and he and I both found out only about a month ago that I was given to him), and I was able to keep my previously rescheduled date of July 20th! So I'm having surgery in 1 month and 15 days! I had given up and had accepted that I would have had to start the process all over again, but it's been a really nice surprise to have the surgery back on, and coming up so soon. I'm honestly really excited about it. I can't wait to get the v-nectomy, as that's my main source of dysphoria. I can't wait to have a perineum. I can't wait to stp. I can't wait to be totally comfortable having sex and not having to worry about people taking advantage of me. I just can't wait.

As of yesterday, April 9th, 2019, I am officially post op for top surgery with Dr. Garramone.

It’s been 8 years that I’ve been waiting to have this surgery and it’s finally done. I’ve cried so many tears of happiness. The love and relief is just pouring out of me.

Today marks 5 years on T. 5 years ago I was a 16 year old boy finding my way in life about to embark on the biggest journey of my life. Today, I stand here as a 21 year old young man. A confident, outgoing, ambitious young man. At the age of 14 when I first realised I could be trans I was so scared. So scared of everything I was going to face. That 14 year old would be so in awe of the man he has become. It wasn’t easy by no means, but by god it was worth it,
