Is Anyone Familiar with this Surgeon?


Jacqui

Recommended Posts

I ran across some YouTube videos by Dr. Katherine Gast who is on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  She specializes in (among other things) all the usual gender-related surgical procedures.

 

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with or feedback on her, particularly regarding FFS.

I have heard of her and it was OK for the person I heard from.  She is a little newer in the Trans stuff field, but may have a lengthy and good record for stuff that is not Trans specific that can give a clue.

I know two people who have had bottom surgery with Dr Gast. one also did breast augmentation with her.   They are very happy.  So are a Facebook group of her patients I'm told.  Post op surgery photos have been proudly posted.  My surgery consult is with Dr Gast in three weeks.  Putting together a list of questions for this.

I will be finding out more about her FFS procedures and preferred echniques.  As I mentioned, the folks I spoke with had GCS and one had BA.  She also offers FFS and I've been reading up on this to have a clue what to ask about.  There is bottom, top, and face available, but I would think it's rare that a surgeon would be specialized in everything...

In my case, GCS is most likely covered by insurance and possible.

Thanks @Ms Maddie!  I would be interested in hearing what you find out about her FFS work.  I am hoping her rates are a little more reasonable than, say, Deschamps-Braly.  I am also curious about whether she would accept as input an analysis from Alexandra Hamer at Virtual FFS.  By the way, in what part of Wisconsin do you live?  I am in the greater Milwaukee area.

Thanks Maddie for the sweet compliment.  It's a picture of me from 10 years ago fed through the FaceApp gender filter.  I think I can get there for real (or pretty close) even with the added years; my family seems to age slowly and live a long time . . . a very long time, actually -- the only downside is that we don't get out much during the day LOL.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Loving this woman I am becoming.

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
