one day post hysterectomy - january 10th

had my complete hysto/oopherectomy (uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries out) with dr travias at emerson hospital in concord massachusetts. total cost still unknown, insurance covering it still unknown. but it went really well!

still accepting donations for it for a little while as well since we can't afford it if insurance denies part or all of it: http://skylarkeleven.chipin.com/hysterectomy

I know this sounds weird but I really want to know. Do you feel the missing organs? LOL How does it feel?

[skylarkeleven]

@SirAdrianAlexander haha its too soon to tell. my intestines will move down to take up the space, and i feel like i'm too swollen now to feel it and they probably already did. uterus was smaller than the size of my hand and flat so it didnt take up too much space to begin with :P

Congratulations! You must feel so relieved to have all of that over with! I want to get the complete hysto/oophorectomy, but I figure for me it will be a few years down the road. Your insurance covers part of it... is that because of some genetic predisposition to cancer or is your insurance just good about it? It's actually something I haven't looked into yet.

Enjoy your freedom. You look like you're doing great! I'm so glad everything went so smoothly for you!

Rest up! Strength!

@shadowbeing3 insurance actually denied it in july so that's why it got pushed back. went and found a less expensive doctor/hospital, and they said now we would have to apply for insurance after the surgery so it is still really up in the air. they aren't very good about it or accepting so fingers crossed. its definitely something to consider, cos the surgery is super expensive, at least in the northeast!

@BrandedDiamond this person had a hysterectomy.. and if you read the description, it says that "uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries [were taken] out"... So no. They cannot have any biological children. ......

@purplefrog42 Well thank you, I will be sure to try and do that next time. I really do appreciate your input.

[purplefrog42]

@AbananaPerson you need to think a bit more about how you say these kind of things is all I'm saying.

[AbananaPerson]

@purplefrog42 no, sorry i see what you're saying but i meant those two things separately. I am sure there are many guys who are trans that are perfectly attractive as well.

[purplefrog42]

congratulations on your surgery + i hope your recovery is going well and that you get your insurance to cover it. You are an inspiration - thankyou for sharing your story with us

[purplefrog42]

@AbananaPerson this is not actually a compliment. I mean Sky is gorgeous but in his own right, whether he is trans or not is irrelevant. Are you saying that you usually would think of a transman as being unattractive?

[LeDuckCircle]

Damn dude. that is awesome. so glad you got it. I am looking forward to having one soon, but not sure if i should remove everything but the cervix or all of it like you did. Hmm! Glad to see you're not in too much pain! Your vid of you and your mother talking (with the questions and answers) really uplifted me. Good luck with healing!

[AussieFTM]

Hey mate, glad to hear things have been pretty good for you overall with the surgery. Hope your healing better now!

[AbananaPerson]

Never would have even known you were ftm if I saw you. You are so attractive wow x

[iamAg1eek]

you remind me of steve-o is that a bad thing?

[ManiacOnTrial]

Sky! Im so happy for you!
