Can't Choose A Surgeon


Guest AshleyRF

I know a lot of postops,with a extensive background dealing with

the work preformed by a variety of surgeons.Some healed quickly,

able to get on with life post operative within six weeks.Others,due

to a more complicated surgery,took up to six months to fully heal.

Like anything,results may vary.But each is very happy with life as

a whole woman.

I have my surgery letter accepted and on file with Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon

in Bangkok...

Hopefully in the next 18-24 months I'l be able to go...

And I agree...SRS is a crap shoot with any surgeon...Mine has preformed over 500 SRS.

Must be doing something right...

I'm also at a deficit because of my age and probably longer healing times..

But I've read of ladies getting SRS at 65-75 years old (I'm 60)

The price is right and I love Thailand....

I've been the half a dozen times and I find it fascinating and friendly!

If things were just a bit different I'd go there to live!

I hope that we all get what we need to be complete....

HUGGS!

I also have something very negative to say about that surgeon but, as I don't really post in forums, I don't know if I can say it here. PM me.

Welcome to the Playground!

I just wanted to say that you can't use the private messenger until you get 5 posts...

So, maybe you could tell us a bit more about yourself?

So you need to say something about Dr. Preecha?

Well, post some more so I can find out what you have to say....OK?

GOOD!

In all trans sites and different forums, there can be negative

things said about any surgeon. Including Bowers,Metzler,

and Brevard. But for every dissatisified woman,there are

a line of those who fully support their work, and happily

consider themselves lucky graduates of that surgeon.

Even Suporn has his detractors. It is a roll of the dice

each time one of us is lying on that table,trusting in the

skills of our surgeon of choice, that all will turn out like

we have hoped and prayed for for so long.

You can have serious complications even the best surgeons. Most patients forget that the body can simply reject a skin graft, a breast implant, etc. Sadly, we don’t hear enough about botched surgeries because most patients do not wish to talk about it.

I've finally made my decision. I've decided on Suporn.

It’s a good choice. In my opinion, the two best SRS surgeons in the world are in Thailand; Dr. Suporn is one of them.

Yes, please let us know. I'd like to know which insurance company covers SRS because it would be worth paying the premiums to save a lot of money on the surgery.

I'm not going to say who just yet, I don't wanna jinx it, but yes they know it's for SRS specifically. They even have their own set of regulations I had to go through. (Basically the same as any surgeon would require. (I had to prove I had been at least 1 year RLT, at least 6 months on hormones and provide two therapist letters). All that just to the insurance company. They've even assigned me a special case worker to handle everything. She's a doll! :D

I PMed you already, but it wouldnt let me reply back. My former therapist has him and had a very bad result and difficult time resinding either an operation to fix it or to get $ out of him to correct it here in the US. She is in her mid-50's and i know for a fact she is not lying. What do you want to know about me?? I am post op have had all the work done. Right now i am having a few issues, so i having been trying to get to some ppl that might have used Dr Meltzer, but no luck. I have done alot of research on before doing anything. It is hard to pick a dr. as said, some drs have very good results, but there is always a chance for problems. I am 43 and i do alot of cardio an weight training. I work for myself in the healthfood and supplement distribution area.

      As we know online rules are usually created by a team of people, basically the guideline rules are to keep everything running smoothly, and everyone is treated equally, and most importantly the code of conduct to make sure no rules are broken. My concern is, what happens when the online community rules (in general speaking) can have an impact on the freedom of speech? Perhaps it might had been artificial intelligence, that took down a post I made on the internet, somewhere else. I know I haven't broken any rules, I was sharing a true story experience I had about online safety, so it doesn't happen to anyone else.. then the post was taken down. I felt to frustrate the time and energy I've spent typing out my experience what happened to me, and then poof it was gone  lol  What can I do about this? lol

      @Heather Shay you keep opening these cans of worms!!! 😄   I'm not a musician; I've barely strummed a guitar ever, but I LOVE music.    As far as influential voices go, I invite you to consider these homegrown guys, who continue to give me earworms. I hope that you listen to and can appreciate them:   Jimmy Barnes   Daryl Braithwaite   Very best: John Farnham

      I've listened to this song an excessive amount of times.  I always play this when I power up a new music studio which is basically what I have going on today.

      I tend to think of most energy politics from the demand side.  It's boring to think of just the "usefulness" of food, clothing and shelter, but outside of things like this that are so basic, we are very wasteful in the pursuit of things that are not necessary.   I tend to go through phases in life every few years where I just become meditative.  You know, it's a fine thing trying to capture this methane in the landfill, but the NET gain from it must be pretty small.  There must be a massive amount of propane that is just burned in the refining of oil.  At least that is what I understand from what I've read and processed from information on the internet.  I've been thinking about how gas tanks in cars have become pressurized over the last few decades.  It probably has something to do with ethanol, right?  I had this crazy idea last year that ethanol might be made from corn cobs.  They have to do something with them.   The problem with addressing things on the demand side is the old "buy American" failure of sorts.  I think the truth is more complicated than simply calling it a failure.  The idea of a world factory with parts produced in a central location making manufacturing more practical seems reasonable.  Reducing demand for energy is a fine idea, but is there some similar logistical problem with it?  My feeling is that it would probably work with some coordination.  We did survive without all this industrialization before.  I think the most exciting part is using mountain bikes instead of horses.  @awkward-yet-sweetand I got into a thread that exposed that idea.  Oh my, I'm laughing again.  It's such a cool idea!!  Bikes are wonderful as long as they are stored indoors.

      Thanks, @Davie. I signed up. I've been a Miami Heat fan for years which already makes me love D & all the Wade family. But beyond athleticism, they are such good and inspiring people doing good and having a positive effect on culture. Bless them and their ventures.   Here's Zaya's instagram account if you want to see some of her gorgeous modeling. You do not need an instagram account to view. https://www.instagram.com/zayawade/

      Featured on a local TV station lately is an ad for The Animals, touring for the last time apparently, who are appearing locally! This band was huge back in the day. I don't possess any of their music, but it is very familiar to me. To me, they are a cross between the Stones and the Doors.

      Getting back into a normal groove here in my new reality.  Got up at about 3:20am.  Had a cup of coldish coffee leftover from last night.  Posted the rest of my bike parts that I need to pass on.  Did some of my daily writing.  Checked in with my best friend.   I'm moving, so I've been working hard on getting everything out of my house and cleaning up.  Things are progressing quickly and I have this idea of having an extended meditation session in my empty house for a month or two.  I'm not sure if I can slow down that much mentally, but I'll give it a try!

      ❤️   I'm a 2-minute walk from the edge of my town. From there I can stare at paddocks infested with 'grasshoppers' (kangaroos to you!)   But yes, being close to nature is its own reward. 🙂

      Good morning everyone,   The puppy has been walked, fed and watered. Coffee is brewing, I’m watching the news, while the cats are taking in the smells a sounds of the back yard, since the back door is open.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Feeling emotionally numb is associated with a number of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Emotional numbness can also be a sign of schizophrenia, depersonalization/derealization disorder, or dissociative identity disorder.
