Thank you

.. and what a first post, am I right? ^^`

Thanks :)

Ok so hair removal just shaving very thoroughly the night before or the day of the surgery before the actual surgery and stopping hormones taken orally two weeks before surgery (only progesterone for me)

I also had to get various things, like dilators (I got a prescription on the pre-surgery appointment) and sometime to clean my new body cavity (vaginal shower)

In my case, I also (tried) to make some silicone backups of the old hardware configuration - in case someone ever tells me to go fuck myself.. ^^` but that's not necessary (plan some days to do so, don't rush it..)

.. I work in IT, does that count? ^^'

Thank you :3

You get what you get - but you get so see pictures of previous results they had before, but things also just depend on how you heal, how much skin is available and co

You can choose if you want full depth or none though

Oof just fifteen days, that's rough ^^`

Thanks - huh, how did this make it to the front of Lemmy? o.o

Thanks :)

It's a bit early to tell for myself, since I'm not doing that yet - however my girlfriend had this done beginning of this year as well and I often hear her complain about having to dilate - which seems to be as much ADHD-meh (forgotten all day, remembered just before sleeping, sometimes very dull) and in the beginning sometimes a bit painful.

There's also the possibility of not having any depth tho, in which case it shouldn't be needed .. maybe that's an option for you, that you didn't know yet?

Yes am German ^^

I was in therapy and all for quite some time already, so I made the appointment for the first consultation in Munich, which was like three months out, and used that time to get all the indication letters to bring them there already.

This was a time saving measure, you don't need them for that first appointment.

You leave that first appointment with some paperwork you need for filing for the costs with your health insurance, so that happens afterwards - you will also need the indication letters for that.

After the health insurance gives their go, the hospital also needs the indication letters for the second appointment there, which is shortly before the surgery - you get that and the surgery appointment together.

Thanks :)

And yea, will definitely do and will be cared for by my gf who's gone through that already as well (though in Helsinki and not in Munich)

Have a one week vacation at my doefriends place and am so glad I can cuddle them again~ Long distance relationships are very uncuddly at times, but still so worth it

Looking way too often at work chat thingy though..

The food is quite ok, better than the usual cliche of hospital food - but there's no vegan options on the menu at least, maybe something is possible when asking them but I don't know

Sure, already answered here tho: https://yiffit.net/comment/8965892 :)

Yep, really pointless and am really glad as well

11 months from first talks about surgery at the hospital to actual surgery, all the health insurance fighting in between.. was well-prepared already and had documents from psychiatrist, therapist and gyn (overseeing my HRT) already ready at that first appointment ^^

I really like Draconia, a MORPG where you play as a dragon (or wyvern or gryphon or...) and even though it's very early in development, just flying around close to how I should actually look feels so nice already 🥺

I have a vegan roommate since yesterday and apparently it's not good.. the kitchen is prepared for that and trying to, but somehow it doesn't arrive up here??

Ideally I would host this somewhere external but we’re not there yet. One day I hope to even have a server cluster for redundancy, but we’d have to host many more services to be able to justify this.

or, like me, do that overkill infra as a hobby ^^'

Thank you 💜
