Yesterday I felt a little scared, i've never had any surgery before but now i'm just really excited. ;D
It's weird to think that it's so soon as i've spent ages thinking it's so far away.
Congrats Nathan and good luck!
Congrats hope it all goes well
good luck!!!!!!! have a fast recovery and flat awesome chest tomorrow :)
Hi Nathan
Congrats man, and don't worry too much about surgery.
You are gonna get an IV, you are going to sleep and when you wake up everything is done.
Sounds good, isn't it?
Have a quick and smooth recovery
Hugs
Annette

I didn't want to let myself get excited till I got confirmation that it was happening as things hadn't gone smoothly so far, so I didn't mention it for a while, I mentioned it on tumblr when I got the letter which was about a week ago.
im still so shocked, I hope it all goes well. who with? garramone?
Congrats! Sounds exciting.
Which surgeon are you going to?
Congrats! I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Congrats and good luck!!
congrats and take care!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Congratulations!!! I hope that everything goes well and that the results look great!
Congrats! I hope everything goes well for you. :eusa_dance:
Congrats!!!! ;D
Right On, Dude. Heal fast and complete.
Fantastic. It's awesome...you don't have to lift a finger. Just go to sleep and let the surgeon do all the work. It really is freaking miraculous.
I'm happy for you. Wow. tomorrow :D
Congrats man! Hope you have a speedy recovery :)
Congrats man! ;D
So... did you have it yet? :o
Good luck, Nathan.
Hope all is well, and congratulations!
So I had my top surgery :D My surgeon was Mr Yelland, a UK surgeon. I experienced very little pain to be honest and I was surprised how quickly afterwards I could move about and get changed. I got my drains out the next day, the nurses were impressed by how little were in them and so was my surgeon so he said after they came out I could go home and by that point I was sick of being in bed so was very glad to go home.
Can't wait till the dressings come off! I so badly want to see my new chest.
Congrats on the new chest! Glad to hear everything went well.
Congrats, I've only seen one result from Yelland, but it was so impressive that I'm saving up for him and not for Dai Davies.
Nathan: Glad it went well! Yelland is an option for me so I'd be interested to hear about the experience and such.
Greg: Could you possibly PM me the link to the result you've seen?
@Nathan: That's awesome! Glad to hear it went well :D hope the big reveal goes well too :)
@Greg: as Ryan has already asked, could you possibly link me to the result you've seen? I'm looking into UK surgeons, and it'd be really helpful if you could :)
I was going to save up and go to Garramone but I wanted to find a UK surgeon that I was happy with so I could get it on the NHS. In the end I contacted Yellands secretary and she sent me a couple of before and after photos and I was very impressed. If the PCT had not agreed to fund the sugery I would have saved up to go to him.
Went for my post op check up with Mr Yelland today. He took all the dressings off which hurt way more then any post op pain I felt, it didn't help that I have a bit of chest hair so when he pulled off the big plaster thing he took some of that with it ::) He was happy with the way everything was healing, he took the staples out from around my nipples which didn't hurt much at all, they bled a little when he removed them which is apparently a good sign, it means they have blood supply. So everythings going well, I have a small dressing covering my nipples but he said in a couple of days I can take that off and that's it, so expect pics in a few days ;D
Hey, congrats on the surgery! ;D
/me
Looking forward to seeing the pics :) FWIW, I found a UK surgeon here in Leeds that's worked with both men *and* women, private and NHS too. I may well be his first FTM patient, though... :angel:
Congrats man! So jealous.. lol. Oh well my time will come one day too. Good luck! :)
So awesome man! Im really happy that its going so well for you. We'll want pictures
Went to my last post op with Mr Yelland today and got the last of my dressings off so decided to take some pics when I got home.
