Update!! I finally got it!! Called their number every day, multiple times a day until they basically gave in. Removed all of it and then found out I had cysts all over and little blowflow going to the organs. Never stop advocating for yourself!!!

United Healthcare denied me gender affirming surgery because it’s not medically necessary… A hysterectomy would solve the extreme pain I’m in. I hate being trans on days like today.

Omg congrats!!! 🎉🎉 as a trans person who’s wants a hysterectomy in the near future how’d you go about talking to them?? Like was it the persistence or what you said each call that finally got through to them? :0

Little blood flow to organ sounds so scary I’m so glad they gave in. I hope you have a good recovery!

I would constantly be asking for updates, seeing if I could push the process further, etc. In the process, I found out that United attempted to pass the bill an entirely different insurance company. My favorite one was the operator asked if I was having a vasectomy… close but no. Assume that operator is unknowledgable and has no idea what they’re looking at.

I asked for pictures because I was curious of what it looked like. The parts that are supposed to be white were blue. Literally every person I have told irl have been asking me how the hell i managed to live like that for so long. And thank you!! Recovery has been going well! It’s weird not being in pain (off meds now) and I keep having moments like, dang… this is how it’s supposed to be?

Nobody every believed the level of pain I was in. I sorta got used to it. I was put on birth control a month before I got on testosterone and it basically put a bandaid on it. I would get pain but electric shocks every once in a while. Only after they removed everything they knew how bad it was
