1st, Congratulations.

2nd, OMG!!! This pic is stunning!! I feel like it should be included in the archives of Trans history. It should to be displayed in museums along with other trans art show casing that history. Congratulations once more, have a fast and pain free recovery.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but got banned until I could verify it's really me on the photo.

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

Congratulations again. Hope you have continued to heal without issue. I still find this image stunning and honestly believe that it should be included in any photographic Trans archives if there is such a thing. I wish you well lady.

Heya! I read your notes and considering I had GCS two weeks ago myself, let me just say: relatable

How did I personally manage the uncertainty around the surgery? Well I just had to stare the "what ifs" right in the face and say yep, it's worth the risk.

I basically wasn't using the old equipment, and the further I got into transition, the worse dysphoria was getting around that. So I approached it the same way I approach every major decision in my life: manage the variables I can control to the best of my ability, then accept that it's extremely rare to be 100% on anything . The rest came down to trusting myself and not letting the fears steer my life.

Not sure where you are in your recovery at this point, but either way, sending love ❤

As someone contemplating surgery, the doubts/uncertainty are a BITCH. I’ve also realized nothing is 100%, but still have a lot to personally navigate through before making a final decision.

I really am lucky with my hips, shoulders not so happy about. But you have to understand that aesthetically pleasing photos are a lot about angles and the position. That's why I went with this pic, it's a flattering pose.

I transitioned after puberty, so hormones did a lot for my figure I think.

This photo is remarkably beautiful ...

Both the story and the aesthetic

I say this as I have a background in self portrait photography but have stopped doing it due to my dysphoria

This photo really inspired me !

Sorry, but this is a totally unrealistic image from a new account.

No surgeon that I have seen can give a result like that within a few months let alone two days post op.

I mean she says Banks so its defi believable. He's the best surgeon in the world. You can literally see the tubing if you look closely. Sorry but you are honestly just coming off as jealous/bitter + what a terrible thing to say on someones post abt feeling complete. Just because you had a bad result doesn't mean you have to go around undermining everyone elses positive stories/ hopes (I've seen u around the reddit here... and I feel for you... but this is just really fucking innapropriate).

I'm not bitter just realistic. Most people two days post op look nothing like this. If I'm wrong i sincerely apologise and offer my heart felt congratulations.

Dr. Banks is famous for his aesthetics, this pic was taken before the swelling began. But even later on they managed the swelling incredibly well with medication and applying ice packs.

Also, my account is two years old, so far from new. And I do appreciate your apology.

Looks great! Congratulations!

If you are up for sharing, I am curious, how many times did you apply to the Suporn lottery before receiving a surgery date. I have tried three times with no luck and am just trying to get an idea of how long it has taken for others. Thanks much.

I was able to secure the surgery date at my first attempt, but this was during the time when COVID was still fairly widespread, leading to numerous surgery cancellations.

Back then, there was no lottery system; it was first-come, first-served type of thing. Having friends help me book a date as soon as it became available also made a difference I believe.
