Random note. My nurse asked me how I was doing, and my balls responded... That is all.
What do you mean by “alone in taking care of yourself”? Do you not have a caregiver to support you upon discharge?
One of the prices I had to pay to get this far.
no one wanted to come with me so I had to do it alone. Maybe I can get nursing help sent my way but that's a unlikely maybe so yeah just me in my hotel till I leave on the 7th.
Damn, I’m amazed a surgeon would even allow that. Seems very risky especially if complications arise
We are adults. Ramineni isn't gonna gatekeep if I feel I can manage it. And even if he did I'd lie 100/100 times
No way I'm letting my ex breaking up with me and feeling "they didn't sign up for this" keep me.from what I need.
I'm way to strong to go out like that.
That isn’t gatekeeping.
That is certainly debatable.
I have a duty, to my patients, ensure that they have the best surgical outcome possible. I’m not going to give them a surgery if I feel they can’t adequately provide aftercare to themselves or have a support system to provide that care. Your surgeon I hope operates under the same philosophy.
I would say part of that duty is to help ensure your patients have access to that care once they out of the hospital.
We don't all get to have people that love enough and that shouldn't be the barrier to being allowed to be us.
BYOLO (bring your own loved ones) or else is definitely Gate keeping.
That's amazing sharing your reaction of seeing her for the first time. Must feel incredible. I can't imagine how happy it must make you feel. I'm AMAB and getting vaginoplasty with Ramineni. Wish I was in DC to help you during your recovery.
The reaction only covers a fraction of what I felt and feel about it. I have never been happier about anything else in my life 🥹.
It went from "it happened" to "omg it actually fucking happened"
Where did you do the surgery? I think i am about the same age as you, and wanted vaginoplasty since i was 12.
Dr.Ramineni performs out of DC. Also I'm 28yo 🤭
