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

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.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
