First VA appointment comming up


Recommended Posts

Hello fellow vets thank you for your service! and any advice you may offer. I have been seeing a wonderful LMHC outside of the VA and after our first meeting I decided that I would start living full time to get my happiness of transitioning started its been along time coming as I'm 52 now, Debbie provided my letter to start hormones, so I went to my local specialty clinic and spoke to them and they referred me to the specialist for GID. We have our first meeting 9-9-16 and I really would like the VA to be the medical people to deal with in getting on the hormones, and providing the 2nd letter for SRS. How fast will the VA get me started on cross sex hormones, if I have a letter and have been getting so exceptional mental health care from my LMHC on the outside? looking forward to living as I always felt..

Welcome To Laura's Isabilla.  I'm not a vet but thank you for your service.  I'm glad you have gotten such good care to date and hope the VA can pick up the ball.  I'm sure other vets will check in.  We have quite a few of them here.

You might also want to post an introduction in that forum.  It helps others to get to know you.

As per their own regulations they should be able to provide them fairly quickly as long as you have all of you outside provider healthcare paperwork and records to present to your pcp. They most likely will however want to get lab work done prior to giving it to you and make sure there are no issues that will be exasperated by hrt before hand. I get all my care for everything including my care related to transitioning through them and they have been good about it thus far.
