Talking about the process of getting top surgery, fears and worries beforehand, what the day of was like, and what the week after has been like (this before I got the dressings and binder taken off at my post-op appointment). I have two partners, just for clarification. My partner Riley comes in towards the end of this video! I got surgery from Dr. Scott Mosser in San Francisco. Please feel fre...

    I had my surgery 3 days ago with Mosser. I didn't know it was Valium. I passed out immediately from that as they were rolling me away (before anesthesia) and I had to be placed on the operating table

    Wow. That comment from Dr. Delgado made me make a disgusted noise out loud irl, thank you for sharing that so people can avoid him (although I'd hope five years later he's changed)

    Thank you very much for this, having one in 3 days with Dr.Mosser in the midst of all this COVID and I was (and am still) very nervous about getting sick :/ It still doesn't feel real haha

    I'm going through doctor mosser as well, but he did say something that kinda made me like eh. He said something on the lines of "your chest looks perfect for top surgery" and although its probably a harmless comment, me showing him pictures of my chest and that being uncomfortable didnt really help the situation. I'm still going through him though and his results look great.

    Congratulations! So you didn’t need anything but the letter from a therapist with the diagnosis of gender dysphoria? Are you on T? Did you have to have lipo along with top surgery to acquire the masculine look? How big were you prior to surgery? Sorry about all the he questions but I’m considering Mosser as well. Thank you for all the helpful info!

      Hi there! Sorry I just saw this. Yup, just the one letter, and that I only needed for insurance. I wasn't on T when I got top surgery, but I started a year or so post-op, and now I've been on for over a year. One of my later videos has me 2 yrs post op, 3 months on T! I didn't have lipo along with top surgery, and I was about a C cup. He did ask to make the incision connect in the middle of my chest to avoid any dog-earing there. And also he gave me the option to have drains or not and I forewent having them! Everything healed fine.

      Kelli Suzuki I didn't have to stay overnight! I was pretty groggy when I woke up, they brought me out to the car in a wheelchair and my partner drove. So I think you would need some help to get from the center to the train station, but I think you would be able to go home the same day.

    Why do you have one connected incision rather than two incisions?

      @westanderson8933 5 років тому

      Meccarox There was some tissue between my breasts that Dr. Mosser thought might dog ear if he left it, so he asked if he could go all the way across.

    You said that your surgery was paid for through your school insurance, what school do you go to? if you don't mind me asking... I will be attending USF in the fall and if this is an option for me I'd like to know

      Sorry to reply to this so late, I don’t know why I didn’t see it. I went to UCSC, at least when I did it all the UCs pay for transition related care with a referral from a doctor and letter from a therapist.

      I'm glad this was helpful to you! I don't think I'm much for frequent vlogging, it makes me a bit anxious to put my face/voice out there on video as opposed to regular ol' text blogging. But I'm planning to do one of these types of videos every additional month I'm post-op to talk about how it's going. Is there anything in particular you'd like me to talk about in a future video?

    hi there!! thank you so much for posting this video, my top surgery consult is next month and i'm watching stuff to prepare for it! plus its awesome seeing/hearing the experience of a fellow not-transman-person :) may i ask why you didn't need drains? did your doctor explain that? i am really freaked out by the drains but nothing else really and i'd love to know how/if i can avoid them haha

    • @westanderson8933
      @westanderson8933 7 років тому

      Hi Everett! Basically my surgeon said it was up to me! He said there was an increased risk for fluid collecting under the skin but if that happened I would go into his office and he would extract it for me. He said he thought I would be fine though because I am thin. I'm not sure what the difference is between being thinner vs fatter for risk of fluid collecting unfortunately, I just took his word for it. But I didn't have any problems not having drains! No fluid collecting, nothing I needed to go in to get taken care of.

      seth laxman yes of course! I got double incision. Let me know if you have any other questions :) also dr. Mosser just launched a new website dedicated to trans-related surgery at genderconfirmation.com and that might provide more info abt dr mosser in particular.
