I figured it's time I talk about my surgical transition experience. There's plenty of false narratives out there and I want to counter what I can with truth and personal experience.

The first procedure I received this year in late January was a transvaginal ovarian-hysterectomy. That means they cut out my uterus and ovaries (and the connecting fallopian tubes) without making any abdominal incisions (removed through the vagina). I'd had a consultation with the surgeon performing the operation a few months prior where we discussed any concerns and went over potential side effects as well as specifying I wanted my ovaries removed as well. When the day of the procedure came I went to the hospital, the nurses were really kind and I got to see the surgeon again one last time for any last minute concerns before I went into the surgical suite.

Waking up post surgery I was elated to learn the surgery had gone super smoothly, the surgeon said I'd lost less than a teaspoon of blood. I stayed in hospital for the remainder of the day and ended up going home around 9pm. They'd given me a pain meds prescription, and that kept things during recovery at a quiet 2-3 on the pain scale. Most of what I felt was a general soreness in the area, it was a lot like the sensation of period cramps. It took only 3 weeks before I felt pretty much 100% I still wasn't fully healed but by then there wasn't any pain, even slight.

Now I'm just nearing the end of my 2 month full recovery time and I'm clear to have penetrative sex. The worst part of the recovery I'd say was the basically instant menopause I had to go through for a while. The hot flashes were the worst, get a fan for yourself if you're planning on getting this procedure.

The end of February is when I got my second procedure, a double masectomy aka top surgery. Normally transition surgeries wouldn't be so close together in timeline but I had school starting in May but I couldn't emotionally afford to wait until the semester is over to get the surgery done. Additionally, political circumstances also lead to me making the decision to push up the date of my surgery, I was terrified that if I was to wait another year that it might be illegal by then.

Similar to the first operation, I'd had a consultation appointment several months prior that addressed any questions and concerns to help me decide if the procedure was right for me. I was way less nervous this time around because I'd already been through one surgery and had a better idea of what to expect in terms of pain and recovery.

The experience of check-in and preparation for the second surgery was pretty much the same as the first with one exception, I decided to forego the nipple grafts last minute (and I don't regret the decision. less risk of complication/infection, I wouldn't likely retain sensation, getting nipple tattoos instead gives me direct control over size and shape) so I had to meet with the surgeon beforehand the day of. My direct input was accommodated and my questions answered the day of, it was awesome.

I went under anesthesia feeling a sense of peace that I'd wake up feeling more like myself than I had since before puberty. I'm a month recovered now and I'm just so pleased with the results! The pain was so worth it!

Feel free to ask respectful questions about my experiences.

Self love

My body is scared. My torso especially. My right breast has been replaced with a long puckered scar. I've more scars from surgeries, drains, implant injections and a c-section. I'm a patch work of scars. I'm 44 and my stomach is soft and rounded.

I love my body, my scars and skin. All the dimples, stretch marks and my flesh in all its abundant roundness.

Don't wait to be smaller, flatter, more toned, less this or more that. Love your self in all your imperfect perfectness. Today. As you are. You are worthy of love.

Rise like a Phoenix Rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes seeking rather than vengeance Retribution, you were warned Once I'm transformed Once I'm reborn I rise up to the sky You threw me down but I'm gonna fly And rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes seeking rather than vengeance Retribution you were warned Once I'm transformed Once I'm reborn You know I will rise like a phoenix But you're my flame I still love this song, it is so powerful :’)

Happy Friday!

Our province has a long weekend. (BC Day). The stat is Monday. Everyone comes to the island so the ferries and traffic are packed (along with every tourist attraction imaginable).

Today I:

Went for a walk.

Participated in my comedy class.

Filled my prescription.

Picked up groceries.

Hung out poolside with my sister, Mom, kid and niece and we talked, talked, talked. ❤️

Got a CT appointment for my shoulder next week.

I’m not sure what the plan is for the long weekend but I’m quite content with going-with-the-flow. I have nothing in my calendar and it feels awesome to be staring at these blank squares. I’m also caught up on all paperwork and nothing is due (that I know of) for a while. Feels good.

I plan to have some quiet time later that includes, you guessed it, my book and a cup a tea.

Just a rant...

I have fought for my life since my diagnosis in April this year.

I have since lost both of my breasts.

And my hair.

Ive had to be off work for over 6 months.

If i want to walk around topless in my own home I will. I am proud of my scars and I am proud of my body.

If you dont like mastectomy scars on a woman, dont look. I will not hide myself for anyone!

Last night having breasts. I will not miss them. Still nervous, but I've been getting stoned all day (my doctor said I could vape/eat edibles up until the night before so long as I don't come in high) so the anxiety has been kept at bay for the most part. I think I'm as prepared as I'll ever be. I've got snacks for protein and fiber, protein shakes, electrolyte drinks, normal water, Tylenol and Advil, pillows for under arms, a lift chair another trans guy donated to me (that I will pass on to someone else in need), a grabber, button up clothes... all I have to do is the two showers? Even have my laptop and switch ready to hyper fixate on so I'm not bored. I'm not supposed to use Ice packs because they'll put a pain pump in me. I keep thinking I'm forgetting something though.

Idk why this came to mind but I just remembered that around the same time when my birth-giver had his top surgery a family friend had a mastectomy for medical reasons and I very distinctly remember them both lifting up their shirts to show their scars, tubes, and shit like hell yeah that's what I call solidarity

#I'd like to point out i was maybe 9 or 10 when rhis happened so my memory is kinda fuzzy #surgery #tw surgery #top surgery #masectomy
