Wow. 8 years ago I started transitioning and I'm finally a day away from top surgery.

I'm feeling so elated and so blessed to finally be here. It feels as though the book that has held my story up until this point of my life is closing and tomorrow the new book will begin. I am so ready to step into myself more wholely and to move about this world in a way that is more authentic than I could've dreamed. As symbolic as this time of year is, I am also blooming. My dormant self unfolding to the light that shines so deeply within. Actualizing my being. My body, my flesh, the many consciousnesses that embody me and toil endlessly to make sure I am safe and healthy. All of this awakening to greater joy and freedom than I could imagine. There is nothing but love in my departure with these tissues, as they are bringing me the gift of being rebirthed. I cannot put into words the intensity of this moment and the anticipation I hold.

Here's to a successful ending to this book as I welcome the creation of my sequel and my evolution. Blessings~

Y'all!! My top surgery consultation got moved up like a month and a half unexpectedly, so I got to meet with Dr. Berli virtually! He was so kind and patient and his intake person was also very friendly. We didn't get to go over too much since my chest wasn't shown over camera but we kind of got a gist of things and he laid out a couple different options for me.

✨

It sounds like double incision will be the way to go. I have a small chest but results are more predictable with double incision and I really don't want there to be revisions or the results to be disappointing after waiting so long for this.

✨

I'm past 7 years of transitioning on HRT and waiting til last year to make the call for top surgery. They were 13 months out for scheduling y'all! At least my consultation came a little sooner than expected. They also shared instead of having to wait like 9 months after the consultation, it could be a lot closer to 3-5 months!!!

✨

I'm beyond stoked for this next step in my life and the personal freedom I'll have when this is all over with 💛💛💛

If you've had top surgery, do you have any suggestions for things that made your recovery easier?? I'd love to know!
