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.

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.

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.

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      Did go in my shop and fix my truck,new front brakes.I got that done before it got worse.Luckily I did not drive it when it first started.Drove my car to work instead

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?

      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.
