Metoidioplasty At Papillion Centre

I know it's still soonish to think about this, but I like to be informed.

Has anyone here had experience with this operation in this centre, or knows someone who has had it there, or even merely heard something about it?

I can't deny that the results page on their website caught my eye... (http://www.drchristinemcginn.com/services/srs/, go to "other ftm" and "ring flap metoidioplasty") especially the first result shown in photo. Yes I know only the best results get posted, that everything depends on your equipment, etc, but that one is the best of the best I've ever seen so far! And the other ones look pretty great too!

But of course I do not know anything about their reputation or of experience of people who went there, so can you help me with that? Or at least suggest me where to look for more info? :)

Yes - this is Dr McGinn. Paula Ult just had her SRS there. Several others here used this clinic, if I remember correctly. The full clinic is set up for full services, but many who don't live in the area just schedule surgery.

I'd go there for my surgery if I could afford her......

Maybe when I win the lottery...

In the meantime...it's Thailand for me!

Well I have to say the results look great! Very natural, its amazing!

Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to reply soon. When you get closer to this time schedule a consultation. Of course they're going to try to sell you on it if you meet the requirements but knowing more about the surgeon from face to face meetings like, how many times have they performed this surgery and such will help.

As for me, if I make it this far I will be off to Thailand like Dee Jay.

I had my GCS with Dr. Mcginn this past May, when i had my consult in 2010 and one of my followups after my surgery there was an FtM there for a consult or maybe a followup, the metoidioplasty pictures on her website do look good, her vaginoplasty pictures also look good, i can tell you my vaginoplasty is going to look like her pictures in a few months after more healing occurs, she does not try to sell you on anything, just the opposite, she wants to make sure you are ready for the procedure you want to get and understand any complications that can happen, she does follow the standards of care and does require both surgical letters to be written a certain way.

All i can tell you is all her MtF GCS patients i know are very pleased with their results, including myself, she is an artist.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.

      I'm curious, but then if I am true to myself, I have a hard time being in crowds.  I love hearing great music, but being in an audience is such a turnoff for me that I don't go to concerts or bars.  I'm just very much a producer.  I actually like doing the dishes more than going to concerts because it's an active thing.

      My therapist is trying a new tact. I've named my self protection self that ssays not eating or too much exercise because when I starting because oftrauma my protective self started and also at the time the name Shay came to me and is now part of my name.  It's not like having a split personality, just my primative self protection who is always there to help me. My therapist has Shay, me and him working as a team to assure her that I am safe and to start changing her role in my life so I protect me by eating right and exercising to maintain a heathy body. It is helping a little but we just started this a few weeks ago.
