Intro - dexpapl - 02-04-2015
Hello all,
My name is Dex. I'm 31 years old, I've been on T for just over 14 months now. I live in Wisconsin but can't tolerate dairy (medically, not because I don't like it). I am married to the most amazing woman in the world. We've been together almost 8 years now. We have 3 children from her previous marriage.
I'm 10 months post top surgery though I will likely need a revision.
Biggest thing on my mind right now is my hysterectomy/oophorectomy which is scheduled for 2/19. I have the misfortune (fortune?) of having problems with those parts my whole life and will be super happy to be rid of them as I've always wanted them gone. That does make it easier from a reimbursement standpoint as I have a well documented history of issues.
I'm not much of an outgoing guy so in person support groups make me pretty nervous so I was glad to find somewhere that I would be able to talk to other guys in written word instead of in front of people.
Thanks in advance for letting me hear all your stories.

Nice to meet you, Dex!
It sounds like you are living a good life in WI
Good luck with your upcoming op! Hysterectomy wasn't a surgery that I looked forward to in the same way as top surgery---there's "nothing to show for it" afterwards!---but getting it done was a huge weight off my shoulders. I think you'll be happy to get it over with too!
