I just want to say that as your process is finally nearing its end I am so so thankful for your videos they have been super informative and open and honest and real. I am so happy for you and I can’t wait until you are done with surgeries and you can live your life with just an average amount of bumps in the road. You are amazing.
Chin up my friend, you have helped many people with your candid videos. Yep, it sucks some days and give yourself permission to feel that way, sometimes that will derail my woes. Honestly, I had to actually slow down to moment by moment at one point due to my health but most days are good. My frustration comes from not being able to do what I used to do. It is very hard to accept that my body will not be the same after the heart and lung issues set in. My two dogs make me a better person, and I keep busy. I have to accept limitations daily. I may not always understand the steps in my own journey, but I know it keeps being so worth it. I had to learn to stop being so hard on myself. Some of us tend to set the bar way too high. That's me, but as for you, I have seen many changes since I have been watching your videos. You are an inspiration to many including myself. But if you ain't feelin' it some days, you ain't feelin' it. It happens. Hopefully with time you will see nerve improvement and you nailed it when you said claustrophobic. That was worth a thousand words. You are talented at many things Cody, and I was wondering when your next post would be! So now we have our Cody fix, and you even had Carley as an added bonus! Seek what makes you happy, and what makes you who you are. :)
I haven't seen you for quite a while and the first thing I noticed was ypour eyebrows. I remember comments about them and wondering why people focused on that. However, I do notice a lovely difference, wow, you look great! All the best with your arm and more power to you.
I was so set on RFF but I found out my arms are too skinny so I'll be doing ALT. I'm glad to know there are pros and cons for both options. Thanks Cody for being so open with the ups and downs of surgery, you're helping so many guys out there! Hope everything heals up nicely :)
How skinny are your arms? I feel like my arms are too skinny for RFF, but my thighs not skinny enough for ALT! So I don’t know what to choose! I also have wide self harm burn scars on my arm which I don’t want to be part of my dick, which would be a pro for ALT, but at the same time am afraid of ending up with massive girth! I’m thin, but I’m afraid not thin enough. My wrists are about 6 inches, my forearm at the bottom of my elbow about 10 inches. Pinching and measuring, I get like 1/8 an inch at my wrist and 2/8 ish further up my forearm? It’s hard to measure. My thigh I get like 2/8-3/8 at the bottom half/middle, 3/8-1/2 at the top. Again, it’s hard to measure but those are my estimates as I try to do it with just two hands lol
I’m going out of state for my surgery, so I can’t go for a casual visit to let them determine which is best. I have to choose on my own. My first electrolysis session is on Tuesday, just a couple days away, so I need to decide ASAP which I’m doing! I feel super pressured and can’t decide which has the best likelihood of good results for me. I don’t want a skinny dick RFF puts me at risk for it the burn scars on my dick and big scar on my forearm it will include, but I also don’t want a massively girthy dick that I can’t use which ALT may put me at risk for!
I’m tempted to just go with ALT and diet down like crazy to a low body fat to kill whatever fat is on my thighs (I’ve done that in the past so I know I’m capable) - but if I gain weight after surgery, would fat just be added to my dick and increase the girth then??
I have missed your videos Cody. I am happy to see the post op update. Your arm looks better and a much better ROM. I know you are happy with the results this far. I am glad it is working out good for you. I can tell you have a lot on your mind because it shows on your face. I hope things work themselves out for you as you deserve nothing but the best life has to offer you. You are in my thoughts and prayers and sending hugs of friendship to you 🤗🤗
I think I'll be doing ALT. I think I would be too self-conscious to have RFF and my arms are rather skinny. Regardless, it has been rather fascinating watching your progress. It's rather insightful.
From my point of view, your hand movements are a bit more natural, so it seems like you have less restriction at your wrist! I'm glad you're doing good post-op. And I don't think I noticed a lack of videos at all, but maybe that's just me haha. Keep on keeping on
Hi Cody! Could you please talk about the fat graphting in the abdomen area where they're taking it? Like how does it feels, and how it heels, where you bulking before? Or cutting? Thank you!
They take from the abdomen and love handle area. I was bulking at the time so that was helpful. I recommend bulking before fat grafting. The last time they tried it but I didn't have much for them to use. It feels really sore after and then feels really tight as it starts to heal.
Hey Cody..the docs in the UK seem to be doing full thickness grafts on the arm. Donor site seems to be from under the buttocks. The results on the arm are amazing and the graft site is hidden in the crease at the tops of the legs. No sure is this is a procedure that can be done as a revision if needed but it may be? I am sure you have heard of this and seen the results x
ah yes they don't tend to do full thickness in the states. They say it is more risky. The results are certainly amazing though. I think they are starting to take thicker split thickness grafts though as mine was incredibly thin.
Did you choose to get grafted from your arm, or did the doctor kind of control that process? I know that some guys get it from their thigh or their back. I’m hoping I can get the graft from my thigh.
Your videos helped in alot of ways. The hand of my fore arm thing i didnt realize till after i did its tight ive done hand therapy its be over 6yrs and i have dropped things and also feel it get punch or something i feel it all throu my arm to my hand is get fat added the only way to fix it. Its so tight and i didnt expect that.
Cody I had surgery also on my ALT my leg was tight but is better know thank God. I went to therapy twice and they did alot massage and they use a vibrater machine like the ones u buy at the store I was lol but it help me a lot.. Try massage it. A lot to brake the tissues it could also help you if not try set physical therapy with ur health insurance.
I'm glad your fat graft took as well as it did :) Wish the scars weren't as obvious for you as with others, you're still doing great! :D Every time I think/watch videos like yours I think "I'm glad I didn't get any tattoos there" :) BUT, it would probably make for a neat phallo ;)
Hi Cody, you are amazing btw ;) I was wondering how do you explain to somebody who asks about what happened to your arm? I guess you are openly trans IRL too but still not everyone will understand what you mean by phalloplasty.. what is your experience with all that? And I guess you cant choose phalloplasty if you want to be stealth, am I right?
Is there any kind of cream or something you can put on your arm to soften the skin, maybe it will make it feel life your your skin is loser on the outside
Didn't you just have constipation and needed to poop? Now you have BRAIN constipation?? So you gotta poop out the negative thoughts and shit huh? Hmnnn

You're welcome Cody. I always hope that somewhere in my comments I can help or at least be supportive. I really do care. :)

Recovering from a super revision right now and even tho it's opposite surgery, your videos inspire me. We gone be alright boo!
aw sending you healing vibes! Hope everything went well!
@@Codytalks11 thanks baby
This is great news; glad to hear it is better. What a journey it’s been.
Thanks! Yes indeed.
I get spam callers ALL day. I have started to answer and say random things until they hang up.
Wow. Your arm looks so much better!
Thanks!

Sure :)

Good to see you Cody. Your arm looks much improved from the last time we saw you.
Thanks :)
Where did you get it done again??? I need this so much!!
I think I'll be doing ALT. I think I would be too self-conscious to have RFF and my arms are rather skinny.
Regardless, it has been rather fascinating watching your progress. It's rather insightful.
Razumi Yazura same I’m very self-conscious so I’m doing my ALT too I hope yours goes really well when you get it
Thanks Cody! Very Informative video! You're a treasure for the Trans Community! Keep sharing!

I had a stiff, numb scarring from a dog bite on my left hand. Physical therapy, mederma, and vitamin e oil were useful.
Did you choose to get grafted from your arm, or did the doctor kind of control that process? I know that some guys get it from their thigh or their back. I’m hoping I can get the graft from my thigh.

The cap you are wearing is so cool! Where did you get it? I would like it.
Thanks :) This was a tester basically. I thought about selling them but generally I don't sell much merch so I didn't make an order.
Cody_talks Ok, I got it. But if, if you come up with a new idea of trying to sell them some time, please let me and your fans know. 😁🙏
Cody I had surgery also on my ALT my leg was tight but is better know thank God. I went to therapy twice and they did alot massage and they use a vibrater machine like the ones u buy at the store I was lol but it help me a lot.. Try massage it. A lot to brake the tissues it could also help you if not try set physical therapy with ur health insurance.
Also stretch it even if it hurts.. That what they told me and it help alot
“Brain constipation” 😆 Love that
Did doing all of this address your mental health?
it addressed the gender dysphoria part of my mental health yes.
Hey Cody sorry your feeling bad
I'm glad your fat graft took as well as it did :) Wish the scars weren't as obvious for you as with others, you're still doing great! :D Every time I think/watch videos like yours I think "I'm glad I didn't get any tattoos there" :) BUT, it would probably make for a neat phallo ;)
LOL true. I once know a guy who had flames tattood all over his forearm... well you can imagine what his dick looks like...
You're looking better rested :)

Cody how is it with your new woman?!! Lol And you look amazing despite the discomfort of it all and the mind shit😊🙏
Si así le quedó el brazo, ya me imagino cómo quedó la salchicha.
Is there any kind of cream or something you can put on your arm to soften the skin, maybe it will make it feel life your your skin is loser on the outside
you cant fool me I saw those muscles ;) woof!
haha :P
Looks good
Thanks :)
Cut open an aloe vera plant and tape it to your arm. Its slimy but it will heal.
SUE YOUR 'DOCTORS".
😢
Idk why this is a thing
Poor Cody, you don't look so happy. Understandably so😔😒😉
Me bhee karauga
