    Hey spuds! Hope you like the video and it brings you a little bit of happenis 😜 I focused more on what to expect from the actual surgery, rather than results etc. because I’ve covered that kind of thing in other videos. Much love 💛

I am a non-binary pal and I still haven’t come out To my parents But you and Noah have been giving me hope and something to look forward to when I’m older and can pay for top surgery. So thank you, a million times Thank You, so so much for being here for everyone and you are so amazing!

I have a trans cousin, f to m, that's had top surgery (partially paid for because he had breast cancer, otherwise the good old US "healthcare industry" would have made him pay all of it!). He's been debating bottom surgery, so I wanted to learn more about what his decisions would entail.

    I had a meta two years ago and agree with all of that. The pain at first was fucking horrible, pooping ugh, and the catheter was the worst thing on earth! I had the uretha lengthening, but it was still horrible. I also had an urinal infection because of it so it was even more painful. Honestly, that surgery was probably the hardest thing I have gone through in my life. I'm only 25, but I really dont think I will go through something as hard physically and mentally again. I just can't imagine it. However I do not regret it one bit and I am very happy with the results now (after having some complications some months later and getting it fixed). Just fair warning for people wanting the surgery. Be ready for it to be hard.

    After my hysterectomy (which didn't affect the outside bits at ALL), bowel movements were nearly impossible it was so painful. Like, when you're freshly missing organs right beside where your bowels exist and those bowels have to MOVE to push something out, it is a whole new hell that I was not at all prepared for. The pain meds were not nearly enough, besides the fact that they also make you more constipated. I feel like there has to be a better option.

    I love following your channel and your journey Jammie. As a cis (gay) man and HUGE supporter of my all my trans brothers and sisters your channel offers insight and education from a real, relatable perspective. You’re open, honest and so adorably likeable. You’re a beautiful human being, and so, so handsome. Ive shown your videos to acquaintances (definitely not people I’d consider friends, and sometimes just arseholes) who don’t believe that trans is a “real” thing, and you’ve changed their minds, because they cannot believe that you would ever have been assigned female at birth, they can only se you as a man. They’ve realised that it’s not about being “big, butch and manly” it’s about your soul, your essence and fundamentally being who you are. You’re changing lives, you’re changing attitudes, and most importantly I see so many trans kids comment on you videos that are so much stronger and braver because of you. You are a WONDERFUL human being. I wish you every happiness in the world, you deserve it, and you’re changing so many lives. Don’t ever stop Jammie, it’s people like you who change the world, and I love you for it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Just knowing that others have gone through exactly what I'm going through(transwomen as well as transmen) makes me feel hopeful for my own transition.

    @@matthews8838 Hey, I have heart surgery before and that's something I am used to - I am very nervous about top and lower surgery though. I will just say that honestly, it is normal to feel frightened, anxious and afraid because it is such an abnormal situation but the doctors are really skilled and can really look after you. It is almost a case of psyching yourself up and reminding yourself you're going to be okay. Do pros and cons too and look at whether the cons of surgery are short term things like fear, discomfort and pain and whether the pros are long term things such as feeling better in yourself. It may not help but I found it helped me with rationalising all my heart operations.

    Kind of reminds me of things you didn’t get told about child birth. When you described all these people scrutinizing your perineal and pubic areas that’s like when you have a baby. Only of course it’s a very different overall outcome for sure. I found I was more concerned about my babies than my own well-being after both. The hospital wouldn’t let me go home until I peed and pooped and both were scary after delivering my first baby. My second baby was an emergency c section. It wasn’t as bad really as a normal delivery like with my first child. Then of course you have a very tiny mini human to learn to take care of! Considering the nature of your reports you’ve done a nice job without getting too graphic here. Wishing you good luck with your new you!

    I know this video is at least a year old now, but I truly just want to say thank you, Jammi. So many people are so afraid to speak on these facts & information, & I 3,000% understand why. It’s so intimate, personal, something people struggle w/ for years, sometimes their entire lives, & since not everybody is intelligent enough or caring enough to be understanding & *mature*, it can be very scary. But I can’t thank you enough for all of your videos. I love you & your lovely lady so much & appreciate the information you give. It not only helps me personally, but it allows me to have the CORRECT information, just in case I ever need to help somebody feel more comfortable & understand. ❤️ I also feel more comfortable myself too learning all of this b/c ever since I was able to talk I always asked my mom when I was going to be a boy. & I truly still feel this way to this day. I don’t think I will personally go through a transition, but I have always been curious about going through it, & if I EVER WANT to go through w/ a transition, your videos help me be more comfortable exploring that thought. Sometimes I even puts me at peace a little bit w/ just the way I am now. Just so you know, either way, you help me so much & I can’t express my appreciation enough. Keep being you sweetie. You’re an amazing soul. ❤️

    I had a cyst on my tailbone as a teenager. I was told I would have a tiny scar with a couple stitches. I woke up from surgery and I felt like I was hit by a car. It turned out I have several cysts from the tip of the tailbone to my mid back. Since its tissue the xray didnt see it and only one actually felt like an external lump. I had in excess of 100 stitches and a drain. At the hospital I was at they had never seen this. They kept parading in interns and nurses to look at it. I had to be on my belly for a couple days with a pillow under my groin. I was on iv fluids only for 3 days post OP. There were times a dr would come in with a colleague and compliment on how nicely it was stitched. Meanwhile I had scarring so bad and the tube made it bump up like a ridge. It was so awful. I was getting close to my 16th birthday and it impacted my self esteem greatly. Back with this was done teens had way less options , the parents usually made the choices. Maybe it wouldn't have made a difference but if for sure was the worse thing I'd dealt with.

    I really don't mean to be disrespectful or cause anyone discomfort, but it's incredible to me how much the experience of medically transitioning sounds like my pregnancy and birth. Everything about changing bodies, not recognizing yourself or knowing how to feel about yourself, the incredible invasions of privacy... I'm still recovering from my pregnancy and cesarean, but it sounds like a finished and healed surgical process is exactly as wonderful and relieving as giving birth and getting my body back, plus a wonderful new tiny human, was for me. My sister is starting her medical transition this year and I'm so excited for her to feel comfortable and happy as she progresses 💖

    Right on. I experienced everything except the extensive bruising. After 7 days in the hospital (ALT phallo) I couldn't get the pain meds for 5 [FIVE] days. 6 weeks of physical therapy, and as for pooing, It was as close to giving birth as I'll ever get. It was 35 minutes of excruciating pain. This began an almost 3 month cycle of painful BMs which caused a 1 inch tear (terribly painful) and inflammation of the hemorrhoids tissue which made things worse. It felt like pooping razor blades. I was on stool softeners the whole time. I decided to do a 7 day fast so as to poop as little and few times as possible. Once the tear healed, I was able to finally apply hemorrhoid cream and it eventually got back to normal. Other than a small common fistula that healed in only a few weeks, no complications occurred. Thank heavens!!!!
