Hey everyone. I wanted to share a helpful bit of information. I just purchased some Nexcare max hold waterproof bandaids. It was needed to cover a inch long scratch on my forearm near my thumb. While this area isn't always lotioned and directly contact with clients.. I wanted a waterproof seal.

These bandaids are no joke.

I've used so many other water proof bandaids and they are "ok" against water but fail immediately with any oil or lotion contact.

Do you know of any books to offer my spouse to help me explain gender fluidity? Sometimes I make a comment about how I'm feeling or a thought process that resonates as gender fluid. And. I'll tell him all sorts of things about my thoughts. But. Admittedly. I'm in an early stage of accepting my identity and navigating what that means for me. It sometimes puts me in a state that is unable to be questioned. He is most oftentimes accepting and loving. Although. A couple times he says some really insensitive things and doesn't know why it is inappropriate. Or he will misunderstand my statement and question me in a confused way that isn't easy for me to navigate.

Hello. I am a 27 year old woman with no children. I'm 230lb at a BMI of 38.

In February I had a well woman's visit with a clinic doctor. I needed to remove my IUD before November. When I asked for my next options, she notes surgery being an option for me. I was so excited. I've always wanted a permanent birth control. I do not want to ever have children. Especially not out of my body.

We set a consultation with a surgeon. I asked all my concerns and she was very positive that I was a perfect candidate with no foreseen issues.

On July 25th I was scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 9:30. No solid food after 10pm 7/24. No liquids after 8:30 7/25.

There was a registration area that do

Update to original post. Link in comments.

I have just had my surgery consultation with a wonderful surgeon. I am not sure how to add my care providers to the official list of CF supportive doctor.

Kathleen Marie Osterman Boswell, MD is going to perform my surgery and this is how my consultation went.

She answered all of my questions.

"What kind of surgeries are we considering?" laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy and removal of Paragard IUD

"What is the recovery time" would be home, same day. She expects me to be fully healed within 2 weeks.

"Will you verify everything with my insurance before hand?" Yes

"Am I healthy enough for the procedure?" My BMI is 38, however, this is n

I have been fearing this conversation since I was 17, and the doctor told me you have to have 2 kids before you get your tubes tied. So instead, we settled on a Paragard IUD

I went to have a well woman's exam. Not because anything was wrong. I wanted to become established with a gyno. I will need my IUD removed this year. I wanted to ask about my options for sterilization. But I remembered how the last time, the Doctor shut me down very quickly.

So, I said "what are my options after removing the IUD?" And she said " we can put a new IUD in, same day. Or we can get you scheduled with a surgeon"

AND MY BRAINS EXPLODED

I asked if she was referring to getting my tubes tied or a full hystere
