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

      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

      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....
