Auroras's GCS Surgery


Aurora

Recommended Posts

Hey all:

 

I am getting even more excited and nervous for my life changing GCS surgery coming up on April 21st.  It is 25 days away and it is getting real.  Dr. Crane's office had sent me my conformation packet and everything and I am all cleared for vaginoplasty surgery.  It is getting real.

 

April alone is just a super busy month for me as well.

 

Looking forward to seeing Dr. Crane and finally getting the correct part that matches

Wonderful news @Aurora!   The month just got busier with all the needed prep.  Good luck and stay calm.

Congratulations! I was pretty giddy for my surgery date, but everything went smoothly as you could hope for. May your surgery bring all the joy you want it to and your recovery be swift and painless!

 

Also, do what your doctor says, no pushing the envelope. You're a princess until you're healed. Make sure everyone around you treats you like one.

 

Hugs!

I have been following Dr. Crane's pre requirements and them some.  I have had over 9 months of hair removal and also been asking alot of questions.  As this is my second major surgery, I know to follow what the doctor says and to stay up on post-op follow ups

Completed my lab order on Monday from my surgeon and got back my lab results and found out from the nurses at the office that they have my results and everything appears at the normal healthy range.  So everything is still moving in the good way and ready for my surgery

I told you it would work out just fine in the long run, which is now just a short jog down the road.  It will go just fine for you.

How exciting girl! I’ll be having my revision surgery April 27th at the same hospital with one of the other surgeons at Crane Center (DeLeon). Perhaps we can run into one another. Super excited for you!

Awesome.  I know Monday the 26th is my 1st post-op to take off the bandages and to start the dilation process.

 

If you dont mind me asking, what revision are you needing?

Now for the fun part.  Got a call from the Crane Clinic in Austin TX with going over all the financial stuff that no one talks about and the insurance.  found out how much I am going to be billed out of pocket for the procedure and hospital stay and everything.  My insurance is covering everything and just need to pay my deductible

Just saw my primary care doctor since Dr. Crane wanted a clearance letter since I had cancer back in 2008.  My primary care was like wow, so long ago, but understands and followed Dr. Crane's recommendation and I am healthy and ready for surgery.  For just in case, my primary care did 1 vile of blood just to check my tumor markers to say he checked it and no cancer after 12 years.  So got that letter to my surgeon and now I am on my way for my vigina and finally feeling complete.

 

I have a smile on my face and feeling both exited and nervous, but ready for it

Congratulations!

 

Once thing you're not ready for though: Peeing in a cup after you get your vagina. I had to do that for the first time yesterday. It was... challenging. Also messy.

 

Hugs!

I am just weird, but i am really looking forward to the messy and painful dilation.  I know that for the first 2 to 3 months that my life will be nothing more than eat, sleep, dilate.

 

But I am just weird

Honestly, I was looking forward to dilation too. It's part of the "Hey, I get a vagina!" process that I actually had some control over. Everything else was doctors in white coats, but that ONE thing, I could do myself. That was all me.

 

Now it's, not exactly a chore. I mean I do other things while I dilate so it's quiet time. Just for me.

 

Hugs!

Awesome! I need to get a COVID test 72 hours before my surgery anyway, but having the inside of my brain tickled... again... is a small price to pay.

I fly to Austin TX on Sunday.  Getting the final calls from my surgeon and doctor in Austin, TX to go over my surgery and pre-op with making sure that I am ready and knowing everything.

 

also I am planning on bringing my 2x of my stuff animals that I have had since I was a baby and have always been there for me for all my past surgeries from eyes and cancer and I want them with me for my surgery.

 

I am 40 years old and I still have my baby stuff animals that I love so much and that have always been there for me.

They are SO CUTE. My heart melted a little. They look well loved and I'm tearing up thinking about it. You have a pair of good protectors there.

 

Hugs!

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️

      sympathy: an affinity, association, or relationship between persons or things wherein whatever affects one similarly affects the other : mutual or parallel susceptibility or a condition brought about by it : unity or harmony in action or effect every part is in complete sympathy with the scheme as a whole —Edwin Benson : inclination to think or feel alike : emotional or intellectual accord in sympathy with their goals : feeling of loyalty : tendency to favor or support republican sympathies : the act or capacity of entering into or sharing the feelings or interests of another : the feeling or mental state brought about by such sensitivity have sympathy for the poor : the correlation existing between bodies capable of communicating their vibrational energy to one another through some medium

      I got my voting registration card the other day. So I can definitely vote in the general election this fall.

      Yeah, if Trump wins, they'll just flip it again.
    • Ivy
      Nope.  He is merely a tool for them to get a foot in the door.  Any other "conservative" president would be fine - on the off chance he doesn't actually run. Trump's "policies" change with his whims.  Look how he's trying to back peddle on abortion.  The only thing he stands for is himself.

      Wasn't there some question of whether the perp actually was trans?
