Post Binding and Top Surgery Safety

[@Blueyedrebel]

Aaron, we don't tolerate you and your videos don't suck. I enjoy yours and Chase's content a lot. Hope you are well and it was nice to see your face. :) Have a good day!!

[@StonewareLen]

Blueyedrebel couldn't have said it better myself:)

[@jessi_starr]

Yes exactly!!

[@golden24680]

Blueyedrebel this is so wholesome but i got thru "we don't tolerate you" and i was like holy fuck omg

[@MissJenaKay]

Tolerate? I think not. Enjoy and treasure? Yes. I was so thrilled when I saw on your twitter that you were going to be uploading again. You have so many unique stories and talents to share and I'm so glad that you've gotten a burst of confidence to be able to share with all of us! I think you're great and the way you speak always cheers me up and makes me smile. Thank you!

[@iang.9904]

Jesus Christ the biceps look rock hard damn son

[@catelilian2392]

Yeah he looks almost Ty level masc5masc in this video lmao. Nice to see Aaron looking happy :)

[@august1451]

*gasp* could it be?? A new Aaron video? He looks so handsome, this is wonderful.

[@solln4567]

dude. bro. fam. I really like the way you pronounce words.

[@solln4567]

I also really enjoyed this video. It was oddly appropriate for what Ive been dealing with lately, so thanks Aaron!

[@beeverinc]

Omg, my friend's an osteopath and she's been telling people this for years. Thanks for using your platform!

[@maddieblog]

Nice to see you back, Aaron! this makes total sense! It's like the same thing as when you break a bone and you're in a cast for a month or two and when it comes off whatever was in the cast is super thin and weak compared to the rest of you. I hope this becomes more common knowledge because surely there have to be exercises and physical therapy people can do to reduce these side effects? Stay safe folks!!!

[@Catmandoku]

Aaron thank you so much for making this video, I've never heard anyone talk about the after effects of binding. This was very helpful and I'm very happy to see you making videos again. You always have great insights and you're amazing at finding words to express your thoughts. I admire you so much.

[@jeristovall5465]

Aaron, it is so great to see you making videos again!! I love them. You are so awesome!! Loves ya xx

[@sophiamcauliff]

YAAAAY AARON!!!! I'm so happy!! the plant dad is making videos again!!! Also thank you for the great advice :3

[@rm2869]

Just the fact you're making a video made me so excited, it's a really good video too :)

[@hellichk]

tbh the last weeks have been pretty stressful and today to check my phone and find the notification that you uploaded made me feel so at home and safe and happy!! stay amazing man, you have such an amazing impact on so so so many people

[@ShaunArcanine]

I am soooo happy that you are back even if it is only this video right now

[@vincentnotprice-temporaryb6800]

I'm having top surgery soon (October or November) and my ribcage and breathing is fucked up even though I wear the good kush gc2b one.. but it's been 3+ years. Ofc it's 100x better than unsafe binding, but like you said, it still isn't optimal for the body. Thanks for a new video PAPITO PLANTSUINI 🌱

[@cameronoliverprince]

Thanks for talking about this, cause I knew it was a thing that happens but nobody really talks about the effects or anything

[@insidiouschaos812]

It was so exciting to see this up!!!! Welcome back from the conference!

[@insidiouschaos812]

And honestly thank you this is an important thing that not enough people realize, and it's really helpful to have it here instead of only buried in a podcast

[@graveyardpansy]

okay no thank you so so much. I'm getting top surgery in about three months and I had no idea this was a thing. I'll definitely watch out for it.

[@marceloponce8342]

Aaron! I think you're really sweet. Idk if this makes sense but you making videos for other people is just nice. Maybe your followers aren't with you all the time but you're open enough about your experiences that we can see who you are. You're better than you think you are! Lots of guys really look up to you and I think that's really cool. I'll keep watching your videos for as long as you make them!

[@mattheweatsgrass6294]

So glad you're back and making videos!! I missed these

[@ryankann2685]

Congrats on getting back in the video game! We love you❤️❤️🌱🌱🌱

[@youngblossom]

This!!!! I had top surgery in January after binding for a couple of years, and I've DEFINITELY experienced the after effects of binding. I notice it most after long shifts at work, and it hurts to breath or even stand up straight sometimes, and I feel it all in the area that used to be bound. It makes perfect sense that your muscles would be weakened over time from binding, but very few think of that in the post-op excitement. So glad you touched on this! Also, you're looking so handsome! :-)

[@eloietremblay7783]

"Thanks for tolerating me". I am side eyeing you so hard Aaron. I do more than tolerating you, I enjoy your content so so much. I think you are interesting and I love hearing what you have to say.

[@mademoiselleregret]

This is super useful, thank you so much for making this video!! I feel like there isn't enough information on the side-effects of binding for a long time, so I'm really glad you talked about this. Also, your videos are really cool and you're really cool (but I'm not gonna say "don't worry about it" because that's literally impossible when you have anxiety lol). Just keep making content at your own pace and we'll support you no matter what~ p.s. sei bellissimo ❤

[@donovanfrye8661]

I wish I could just. Take Aaron for coffee and share a conversation with him about video games and art. I really look up to him and what he says resonates so well within me.

[@andiw8847]

Hey there, hi there :) just wanted to say thank you for being yourself because I had a lot of issue being my self and I just wanted to let you know your videos and what you have to say on the podcast have helped me get to a place where I can accept myself and realize that I can be the most manly man in my own skin :D so thanks again and I look forward to your future videos!! -Lots of love, a stronger sprout ❤

[@ArtistaOscura]

And I really love your art work behind you.

[@Mion11c]

Fantastic video! Didn't know about the rib and muscle stuff, still, better to know. Been binding for aprox 3 years, so I'll be careful around this when top surgery comes!

[@noanewman5237]

Proud of you plant dad 😊 this video is awesome!

[@beebbeeb796]

oh man oh man i swear if you shot a video with a microwave of you singing old timey showtunes i'd watch it ten times over

[@MaxRebelliousPirate91]

Good message!!! Glad to have you back papito! but all I can think is: Aaron looks buff!! looks so good!!!

[@Novjuly]

*chase voice* BAYEE-BEE!!!

[@Novjuly]

This vid was awesome I promise we don't care so much about the quality, we just wanna see ur face. :)

[@danthefan3753]

I'm really glad you talked about this because I totally didn't know that was a thing and I'm having top surgery in three weeks. I'll try to do breathing excersizes while my binder is off and be careful after surgery!

[@SERENASHMORE]

dude don't worry we love you and understand. any videos from you are enjoyable even if it's just a vid of u doing nothing for 20 min

[@hidingazette]

Hey this is a really helpful video, I just started binding and I've had a lot of anxiety about long term effects of binding and it's so important to me to like, know what the risks are and how to be mindful of them. Also, you're fantastic, and I'm really greatful for everything you do! Keepin' us safe. I met you at the PTHC on Friday and you were so chill and good to be around (I'm Zed, I'm nb, and I was wearing a yellow skirt, in case you're trying to remember me). Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@full_moon_blooms]

Yay!!! Welcome back!! So happy to see you 💙

[@tinypocketspersonal7466]

I honestly didn't even think about this, feel like I should implement some breathing/ exercise into life routine. Thanks Aaron, love seeing you smile.

[@apollovansciver9356]

Hi Aaron I love youuuuuuuuu. Your absence was totally valid and we love you no matter what

[@laurainrevison1162]

I have the same problem, except I do not bind. I was told it was micro tears from weight lifting. I used to sing full time as well and with my hiatal hernia I cannot hold notes in the same way anymore. Ugh...Aaron is a house plant.

[@rebeccarobinson845]

I clicked so fast! I'm so happy! You could literally make a video sitting in front of the camera not saying anything for five minutes and it would be good enough for me!

[@kathrynebrown3890]

This video is so good and you're editing skills are on point boi. Love you and it's great to see you on your channel again

[@fatalimmortality801]

MY BOIIIIII PAPITO AARON HELLOOO

[@NexValentine]

Aaaahhhh, Aaron! It is great you mustered up the courage to post! This is well done despite your difficulties. It was very interesting and an important cautionary tale. Thank you for this c: (Looking good, plant daddy!Lots of love and good vibes from Germany!)

[@tylerc8515]

[@ShikisaiMaki]

[@moviehaus3492]

Your videos don't suck, I look forward to seeing your videos in my notifications!!!

[@victoriar8284]

IM SO PROUD OF U FOR MAKING VIDS AGAIN!!

[@maxbergwall6836]

I love your shirt so much! I need to get one and I need to get a 'You're So Brave' shirt! Thank you for great content and information! ❤

[@hiyaitselia]

Love you Aaron, you are so great, don't forget that ❤

[@Stephi603]

Congrats on getting a video out, you are great and I love you 💕✨

[@stacie8532]

Yay! Seeing you in a new video just made my day! 🖤

[@jessi_starr]

Wow I had no clue! I don't bind but this is very helpful information. Thank you!! 🌱🌱

[@BusyAsAGhost]

This made my day, thanks for uploading papito!

[@cooperolm9687]

Glad you're back dude! ❤️💛💚💙💜

[@regentanz7364]

Im happy that you are back 😊🌱

[@doctor_owl]

I'VE NEVER CLICKED A VIDEO SO FAST BEFORE. Yo I feel you, I've been wearing 2 binders for a few months now, I'm a DDDcup so I need to get flat enough to, you know, live. I've actually already dislocated a rib YEARS ago before binding, and for some reason I've had absolutely no issues. But I only wear them for about 4 hours at a time and only a few days a week. So hopefully giving my body breaks is helping.

[@Blazesis]

Nice to see you again Aaron :) I love your Videos so much and I don't care how frequently your Uploads are. Just enjoy yourself hunti

[@lm2040]

Papito if you were to edit on Movie Maker on a computer from like 2002 I'd still be excited to see the vid. You're looking great and I'm so glad to see you back on your channel. ~Positive sprout vibes~

[@roadtojason.theythem]

we love you A-aron!!! your videos are great!!

[@Luleo92]

You look amazing! Also I love this kind of short videos! :)

[@hannve]

I really love the way you "act" on camera. such a nice video, good to see something from you again. Also you are lovely too :3

[@carofnerds7641]

welcome back aaron you could literally make a video using your phone while you took a shit and it would be amazing i promise ❤❤❤❤

[@whocare9942]

I want to adopt Aaron. My anxiety son.

[@TheTurbomotte]

When I saw this in my notifications, my brain went: I present to you: for one night and one night only: aaron ansuini (I know that it is hard for you to make videos, so I am very happy that you were well enough to make this And I love them and the podcast and your IG, thank you for being amazing ❤ you are such an awesome guy)

[@Matt-cu7fv]

PAPITO WE MISSED YOU Even though like, I follow you everywhere else, its nice to see you doing well in all your stuff 😌

[@xlf1017]

it's good to see you again Aaron :)

[@PuprleFox]

I WAS VERY HAPPY TO THIS!!! :D thank u !

[@MikaruXDenka]

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I just woke up and this already made me daaaaay! A-a-ron! I like this video, really good and informative content and the editing is not bad. Love it! Take care, Aaron.

[@solasvalerius1035]

Glad you're doing better, you're looking great ^w^ Thanks for doing a video on this too, it explains why I've been having rib pain. When I was younger, before I knew what transgender was, and what binding was, I binded with two halter top thingy majigs for two years. And when I was 16 and was trying to conform to being a "woman", I did "waist training" in a corset for two years also. Now I'm transitioning, and in a binder so... my ribs must be all kinds of fudged lol

[@madiArabella]

Youre videos are awesome! Pls keep filming

[@jaebae7067]

I GOT AN AD THANK YOU FOR POSTING

[@catelilian2392]

*AN ANSUINI ORIGINAL! :D* Love the video as always Aaron, hope you feel better soon!!!!

[@NeitiMau]

nice to see you again (outside podcast).

[@styx1137]

Eyyyy im proud of yo! It's a really good video!!!

[@unconditionallykaleb]

Welcome back!

[@caelumlong550]

Hun we love you! Really much!

[@heartbreakbrook]

This can even happen with bra wearing. I haven't been able to find a binder that works for me yet but the dysphoria of wearing a bra is too much so I stopped and just began wearing silicone nipple covers... And then began having back spasms daily because there was nothing holding up my chest anymore. They're getting better but it's definitely a process while my muscles re-learn how to hold up the weight on their own.

[@teresawebdesign9015]

Awesome video, very informative too

[@siennarose4062]

Yay welcome back😊

[@kidkittrell9046]

It is very important that you stretch after you take your binder off. Put a hand on the wall and move you body every which way while keeping your hand on the wall. This stretches everything out and excersize ur muscles. Do both hands.

[@mattywolf95]

I have issues with my intercostal muscles and the cartlidge in my rib cage ( costochondritis ) from years of over binding and I still have to bind most days 😢 hopefully having surgery next year though so woohoo ! 😄

[@samira2711]

Yo, I feel the same way about posting and commenting stuff. I don't have a solid way of conquering those thoughts & feelings, but I'll just try to make my brain static + do it. That seems to work 1 out of every 5-10 times. I've only been binding since the beginning of 2017 + my intercostal muscles are already pretty weak... my left ribs are regularly shifting out of place + causing pain. It's not just because of binding though, my mental health has sucked for the past couple years so I didn't and don't really exercise. I also prioritize sleeping over a good sleeping position, so that doesn't help. I'm working on strengthening them + the rest of my body now though! So hopefully my ribs will start stay in place more

[@LileLoveIt]

Good video. Love you too and you literally could make a videos about tomatos and I would be like. Wow thats the shit👌 your videos arent bad quality. I think when the content is good and I like the person in the video I dont need fancy stuff around it💗

[@lukewoolley3164]

Welcome back! :)

[@genny_bear]

Yippeee aaron videos!!!!

[@tommyisdeadagain2683]

Your videos are amazing dude

[@batmanrainbows]

yay your back im so happyy :)

[@nessaaliyar7086]

YAYYYY A NEW VIDEO!!!!

[@cspm07]

Good info bro! Good to know!

[@ColtonRyals]

dude you have the wrong idea about things lol don't not post videos because you "think" they suck...post them because you care about whatever it is you are saying. You're awesome my man! don't question yourself so much!

[@andiehernandez1995]

Very interesting video! I knew binding could have side effects but I didn't know it could get so serious! It's sad lots of AFAB people must bind in order to feel comfortable in their own skin and literally prevent suicidal thoughts and awful things like that. Aaron, your videos are great, you are great, your content is great, your channel is great and anxiety is terrible. And OMG you look so handsome. We could be online ace lovers. Let me know if you're interested lol. Love you so much papito (pronounced this word in Spanish because I'm a Spanish native speaker)

[@squirtkdw4766]

Papito aaron!!! You are amazing!

[@graypetcoyle]

Yay! An upload

[@KeteshVala]

i really liked the video! i actually think i already kinda have a problem with those muscels, so this was really helpful/informative! i have been binding for 1,5 years now, and i will hopefully be able to start T in half a year, and get top surgery in like 2 years? i hope i won't have ruined my body completly until then 🙈

[@saint3713]

i like your videos. it make me happy.

[@hannahmccollum5928]

Omg I missed you so much

[@robred04]

omg, i had 3 broken ribs 1 year after my top surgery. my doctors didn't know where it came from. they told me that sometimes they can break from strong coughing because I had a cold during that time, but I guess it was that

[@ohitsthem7601]

Thank you oml, i stg this post op shit had been so confusing T~T 🙏

[@kingnicolas00]

As a person who doesn't bind yet ('cuz of dem transphobic parents) but definitely plans on doing so eventually, this is like really helpful cuz now I'll know to be careful, so thanks. Btw: Your editing was pretty good, don't stress about it, we're here to see you, not your editing.
