What Surgeries Would You Have And What Doctor Would You Use?

Mary Ellen, Steven Brown does treat transgender patients, but he is not a surgeon, to the best of my knowledge.

As for what surguries that I would have, I think that I would like to have GRS, a trache shave, and lose some of the excess skin I have on my chin and neck area. I would like to avoid breast augmentation, but it is certainly within the realm of possibility for me. If I don't manage to get rid of all this excess weight, liposuction is a good possibility, if I can afford it at that time.

I never answered this, I guess I was still new and shy.

Dr. Bowers, I selected her before I even got my therapist - actually she recommended my therapist to me.

SRS is all, I lived with this face I was given for this long and most say its more female than male so why not?

Love ya,

Sally

I had my Orchiectomy done by a Dr. Fyke in Saint Louis, and plan on going to the University of Michigans Comprehensive Gender Clinic for all my other Surgeries. They are the only ones that I have found that will accept my Medicare insurance for SRS. I was planning to do it this August but I had to have another stent put in one of my corinary arterys this month so I have to wait another year. I'm hopeing that I will get rid of enough weight that the doctor can give me a tummy tuck and use that skin for added depth durring my SRS. The more I think about it the more I want to have some FFS work done as well. Maybe cheek implants a nose job and possibbly have something done to my chin.

I'm probably going to Thailand since It's cheaper.

I want FFS but I'm gonna see how HRT does first.

I want breast enlargement surgery and of course SRS.

Geez...how did so many of us miss this....???

I choose Thailand....I've been there on different occassions and I love the culture and the people.

They are leaders in GRS surgery! VERY talented and modern tecniques!

I think I'll stick with that ...gotta see how I develop in the front!

Simple Mastectomy- Probably with, I think their name is Glenn Davis, just because they're a half hour drive from me and it's not like I want a transguy results, so it's okay if they're imperfect. ASAP

Hysterectomy- again, anyone close is fine as long as they're qualified and have done it before with good results. With ovaries removed. I'd love to have the vaginal canal gone, but I don't know if that's possible. I might end up not doing it if I can find a birth control that stops the cycle and doesn't mess with my hormones too bad, but I don't think that's possible.

I'm worried about hormones, just because I want something unusual and netiher is realy a good option.

I can't afford to get a pimple squeezed by a plastic surgeon here. I want a simple mastectomy for now. That is all I'm sure of.

I don't know for sure, but I believe that Canada covers SRS for transpeople if you can't pay, I might be wrong. You also might see if you can get it covered for a medical reason, if you're lucky. That's what I'm trying to do.

had my chest surgery with Dr Melissa Johnson in Springfield Mass. she does great work.

If money was no problem, I'd definately go to Dr. Perovic to complete the rest.

Gee i missed this one too.

Grs with Christine Mcginn in Philadelphia is my 1st choice and Supporn in Thailand is my second choice.

If i decide on FFS it will be a brow shave, but hair will pretty much cover it so i don't know.

Hey, my friend!

I see my GP Monday. I've got a lot to cram into 10 minutes, but this'll be on the list for sure.

I think you mentioned seeing a gender therapist- you should ask them about it as well, they'd probably know more, too.

Heck yes. That's the first thing I'm shooting and saving up for. Metaoidioplasty... maybe. Once I have money (and no boobs!!) I'll think about it. If I went for bottom surgery I'd probably have that one. But I'd really have to think about it. I don't want no damage and such down there, (Le ouch!) and I'm not exactly suicidally dysphoric about it.

Not sure about doctors but...

I would just get a peri, in the hopes that good things (like much improved bottom surgeries) come to those who wait...

:P

      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

      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?
    • Michelle_S
      @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!  
    • KymmieL
      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.
