I'm beyond excited that it's finally happening! There are so many things that I'm looking forward to doing when I'm free from this binder, so much traveling and swimming! My surgery date is August 31st! Just 57 days away :) Dr. Medalie told me he is going to do the peri method but I'm hoping to qualify for keyhole when he sees me at my pre-op appointment. If anyone has any questions about the process please ask! And if anyone has any suggestions for me about important things to do in these two months leading up to surgery please let me know!

Congrats dude!
Keep working out and eating well. Take a look through some of the "what to be sure to do before surgery" threads and make a timeline for yourself for getting things squared away before the big day. Just in general, be as organized as possible and plan ahead.

Thanks Max! Yep I'm googling 'what to do before top surgery' and 'FTM surgery prep' and 'top surgery check list' like crazy haha. I still can't believe it's happening! I joined this forum April 2011 scared because I was so unhappy but didn't think I was 'trans enough.' And now I'm actually counting down!! I'm beyond happy!

You'll for sure have to update how it went! I'm thinking of seeing Dr. Medalie for my top surgery as well.

I will definitely share updates! I joined this forum in 2011 and can't believe I've gotten to this point but I'm insanely happy! Dr. Medalie has my favorite peri and keyhole results, he's an amazing surgeon.
