WARNING WARNING

This is a video of a GRS / SRS operation preformed by doctor Marcy Bowers. It is VERY BLOODY AND GRAPHIC. The 3 hour surgery has been compressed down to 6 minutes.

We had a postop that recently left to carry on with her life

who is a good friend of mine.Years ago she sent me a video of

one of her local girlfriend's surgery,begining to end.It was

pretty long and very graphic.With the work preformed by Dr Kunaporn.

Know what it did for me? Made me want mine that much more.

Nice video Princess Nova, although very graphic. If you faint at the sight of blood you probably won't want to watch this. I agree with Angie though, this makes me want SRS much more, especially since Dr Bowers is the closest to me and probably where I will go.

Actually I really needed this and makes me more determined to get to this point.

Love Susan

That was really interesting to watch. I now see how easy it would be to have a fistula happen, which I didn't fully understand before.

I wonder if there's any similar videos for FTMs.

I have seen several other srs operations that are on the net but the quality are not as good.

I have my surgery scheduled for next year, watching these videos grosses me out a bit but it does make me want to get it asap, thank goodness i will be out for the 5 hour operation, oh well the next 11 months 3 weeks and 5 days will fly by and also drag, lots of things to do to get ready for before and after.

wow... I had no idea it was that "easy". I mean... I have absolutely no problem with that at all! I agree with the rest of you, this makes me want it more! Marcy Bowers made a youtube vid into an awesome ad lol.

Ummmmmmm...

In 1986 I had both of my hips replaced...

I wasn't that interested in seeing it at all...

I just wanted to be able to walk at the end.....

Same with SRS!

Jessica, the operation is not as easy as it looks, Dr. Mcginn my surgeon said the operation will take 5 hours if there are no complications along the way, there are many risks that can happen, death, DVT, stroke, heart attack and one that is rare but has a 1% chance of happening is rectal-vaginal fistula that Angie posted about last week, regardless of those risks i have scheduled surgery for next year, i have started dieting to lose the 50-60 pounds i need to lose to get to a bmi of less than 28, exercising with a personal trainer who knows my goals so i can be in great physical shape.

I didn't mean "easy" so to speak... I meant more like, looks like something I could handle. I am well aware of the incredibly dangerous risk factors. I just meant that, in my mind the surgery would have been much more dramatic. That's all :)

Wow, Thank you for posting this, I am still in awe that this surgery can be done. Until you see it, it is kind of something you just hear about and wonder how it is really done (to me anyway) But it does make me want to have it so much more. I think the risks are pretty much the same as many surgeries (DVT, stroke, heart attack etc) but there are many precautions they take to avoid them. As long as you are in good health, not over weight, dont smoke, and no big risk factors eg coagulation problems etc surgeries are mostly the same when it comes to risks. (nurse Nadine speaking)

My wife always tells me her grandmother used to say to her it takes great pains to be beautiful.

Fascinating!

It was cool to see how the procedure works, though!

That was amazing! I am blown away by the skills of the surgeons.

I cannot wait for my turn! (reaches in her pocket and pulls out cobwebs)

I can't believe I made it through the whole thing. I can't even watch fake surgery on tv shows. But yeah, wow. That was awesome, except for the blood and the cutting of flesh and whatnot.

I'm very happy that some of my sisters have enjoys this video. It was given to me by Doctor Bowers herself and it changed my life.

My reaction is similar. I've seen many videos of the procedure over the years, and many, many photos, and this is a good summary. I want to be informed. But my reaction was no different than if it was heart surgery or an appendectomy -- it's the cutting and the blood that make me gasp. The fact that it was SRS and that organ was almost secondary, and I was interested in what the surgeon was creating, and how. It was things to come, not something fearful.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.
    • KathyLauren
      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow
