Tomorrow I return to the endocrinologist to get put on T. I am nervously waiting for it, hoping nothing has come up to delay - or worse, prevent - it from finally happening. I am looking forward to...

OK, so now I'm waiting on the criminal records checks to come back so I can finish my name change. Tuesday, I'll be seeing the endocrinologist again, and hopefully get on T - FINALLY. I'm still...

Got the bill from the lab that did the bloodwork for the endocrinologist - it ran over $700.00!!!! I have to turn the bill in to the VA and let them take care of it. Why do these tests cost so...
-
I never expected this to happen - the VA actually paid for me to see an endocrinologist! I had the initial bloodwork drawn, and with any luck, in about two weeks I'll be on T! We discussed the pros...
-
So now I'm waiting on the VA to decide whether or not they will approve me to go see the endocrinologist. The council that decides these things meets only once a month.Meanwhile, I line everything up...
-
I can now look in the mirror, and feel love for myself, instead of loathing. I'm not the most handsome guy, but I am a guy, and happy for that. Overweight, but that too can change, now that I have a...

It's now a month since surgery, and all looks fine. I have my cat back in my care - missed him! Soon as I loose some excess weight, I'll be even happier. I'm ready to begin T as soon as I can, and am...
-
According to both surgeons, my healing scars look "Spectacular!". I feel much better, and they took out the drains. I'm set for rehab/physical therapy in a week - to ease back into full use of my...
-
Where to begin,....My surgery went well. The operating surgeon understood I wanted a male-looking chest, so she removed less tissue than for a standard masectomy. There was one hitch during surgery -...
-
At long last, I am scheduled for the double masectomy/top surgery. I go in for it on the 27th of this month, and will be spending a few days in the VA hospital afterward. My biggest problem is...
-
Well, the VA has proven it's a typical government organization. Over a month ago, they told the gender specialist I was approved for four more visits - but, they failed to tell ME so I could schedule...
-
It's been nine full months since the original breast-reduction surgery, and I still have an open wound from it. A rather large one, that shows absolutely no sign of ever growing skin back. It's not...
-
Here's one for you - on legal papers, such as job applications, I must still use and sign my old female name - until I can progress to changing legally all of that. But I don't look feminine; and I'm...
