Title: Finally scheduled an appointment for HRT...
Post by: FilaFord on September 03, 2014, 10:19:04 PM
So, I haven't been around lately.  I lost the internet for a few weeks switching services, so that was interesting. I received my letter from my therapist for HRT back in late July, and after calling about 10 different doctors, the earliest I can get in is the beginning of November.  Instead of being pissy that I can't get in a little sooner (was hoping for THIS month lol) I decided to just focus on what I can do in the next couple of months to make HRT as successful as possible.

I figured laser hair removal will work better on my man hairs, so I bought a laser and just did my first full-body removal, and I will have 2 more treatments (at the salon) on my face before then, so that should also help nicely.  I'm hoping to lose a little more weight before then, although people already think I looks sickly because of how much I have lost.

Right now I am at 150lbs, but began the year at 212... I'm hoping to get to 135ish before I start HRT.  Then I am going to probably gain some weight and hopefully it goes to the RIGHT areas! 

Anyways, the countdown has begun for me!  I'm very excited. 

November 3rd is the day :)

Sounds to me like you are addressing the main issues very well, especially in the attitude department by choosing a positive mindset.  GOOD GOING !!!!!   :eusa_clap:  Dani
