Can't Choose A Surgeon

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.

      I'm not sure that's quite true.  If it was done by private entities?  Like most landfills here are privately owned, as are power plants.  I can't see a reason they couldn't be combined.    Right now, garbage companies in my area harvest the methane produced by the landfill to run their trucks.  The put all sorts of pipes in among the layers of the landfill to collect it.  Compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used with only minor modifications to existing engines, and many truck stops are adding CNG pumps as some fleets transition to it.    A fuel's usefulness is often measured in BTU's per gallon.  CNG has approximately the same BTUs as diesel or gasoline (138,000 or so.)  Pure ethanol and E85 have much less - like 76,000 BTUs.

      Well, after a week on HRT, as many would probably have predicted, I've noticed exactly zero mental or physical changes. Patience appears to be the key here as hard as that will be after finally getting my transition moving. Guess I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Hope that my first blood tests after two months will show hormone levels moved acceptively.

      A therapist appt is a great place to dress femme, If you want to!   It also sounds like a great safe venue to speak softer and more feminine, if that’s where you want to go.     Not sure the rules now.  But if you’re seeking HRT you might have to show them something to convince the money system that your case is medically necessary.  Obvious feminine clothes and mannerisms displayed by a human assigned male at birth (perhaps this is you?)  could be check marks towards them pushing your case through.     Please be whatever brings you love for who you are.   I have pursued this all the way through obstacles, mistakes, humiliation, and pain. And I  am so so so grateful  Hugs 😊 🌈🌈

      Puzzled.  My United Healthcare Medical Advantage DOES cover gender affirming surgeries.  The HARD part is finding a surgeon that's in-network.  If the surgeon is out of network, the coverage is 40%/60% (they pay 60%).    Sadly, the surgeon I'd like to have, Dr Russell Sassani, in south Florida, is out-of-network and requires full payment prior to surgery.  I'm certain that there have been insurance issues for him and others, in the past.  Most GOOD surgeons for trans surgeries don't submit insurance, though they WILL help you with the codes, etc.  Actually, he does accept some regular insurance and original Medicare.     Anyway, I hope you were able to get your surgery or at least closer to being able to do so.

      Welcome Madelyn, glad you are here and best wishes on your journey!!   I started HRT about two months ago... Had my initial appointment in December... Other than a bra underneath my clothes, I likely didn't look feminine at all ... I was nervous as heck but the doc put me at ease...   Just be yourself... do what feels comfortable for you ... The pace is up to you... Remember, you are one of a kind and have inestimable worth...    EasyE

      I have been creating a space to be expressive. It's def not completed yet, I have loads of ideas still. Thinking about re-painting, maybe a light pastel purple or light pink, with a satin gloss. Honestly I'm hung on which would look best. Leave a comment if you think it would look better pink or purple. This area is a combination Man-Cave / She Shack. This is my sacred space, I think it's coming out well so far. I love this room, it inspires my creativity. Tho, I think there's not much man left in the cave lol.

      Then there is how FDR is revered, and the ridiculous reluctance of the left to ever say anything negative about Biden.  It destroys their credibility.  Obsessed with Trump, they ignore how much worse Biden is.

      The title of this thread is highly offensive.

      Oh…. Now I get what the transgender agenda is.  I missed it.   I just didn't realize he was running again.   Silly me.   I'm going to quit now.  I've already been an ass
