FFS and BA in Thailand


Kasumi63

Recommended Posts

Not much to report now, but I’m heading off to Thailand in a week for FFS and BA. Needless to say, I’m quite excited. Once I arrive in Thailand, I need to be in quarantine for two weeks, so it’s actually another three weeks until my surgeries. Anybody do these surgeries together? Any tips?

Hey!

 

Wish you successful and safe surgeries, quick recovery and more than satisfying results. Sorry, that i am not on topic (very much).

 

I want to ask you to share your experience and if it's possible with which surgeon you have your procedures. I also look forward for Thailand as an option for GRS and I am really "hungry" to know more. Also I will follow your topic to see what the others, with experience in there have to say!

Thanks for your interest, Shellianne!

 

Here is where I’m going for surgery:

I’m now in Bangkok, but I have to spend two weeks in quarantine first. Surgery is scheduled for the middle of the month. I had GRS in Japan last February, but wonder if I should have come here for that. I plan to ask the doctor to check out below just for his opinion, but I’m not going to say anything before my scheduled surgeries.

 Thank you very much! (Call me "Shelly" by the way! :))

 

I am following your topic and will wait for good news! Hope that everything will be better than great for you! Wish you fast recovery and satisfactory results! :)

Update: Well, I am now on the final day of my two-week quarantine. Tomorrow, I check out of my hotel and then head to the hospital. Tomorrow will be our consultation, and surgery will be the day after that. Needless to say, I'm very excited but also quite nervous. Being here completely on my own doesn't help, of course.

@Kasumi63 I hope you’re feeling a little more improved every day…a step closer to redefining you!

 

Get Well Soon,

Thanks, Jackie and Susan! I am now in a hotel and feeling a little bit better. Part of the struggle has been being alone overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the surgery I had some struggle breathing and that sent me into a panic, which only made things worse. Since arriving here in Thailand, I spent two weeks in quarantine and have several PCR tests, so it’s highly unlikely that I’m infected. 
 

Anyway, I’m now in a hotel room recovering on my own. Tomorrow I’m scheduled to have all my bandages removed. That’s a big step. My face and head still hurts, but the swelling has gone down quite a bit. Now it’s just a struggle to get through each day. One day at a time.

 

It’s nice that I can contact the clinic easily, and they immediately reply. Staying calm and friendly goes a long way here in Thailand, and my interactions with them has been pretty positive. 
 

Still, I’m anxious to get home to Japan. With emergency measures in place, it’s bound to be a stressful trip back, but it’s much more relaxing entering your own country, and there’s no way I can be refused entry. The main issue is whether I’ll have quarantine after entry. 
 

I guess I was a bit crazy to get such a major surgery done at this time. But I have been tired of waiting.

Not at all. My only regret about surgery is that I didn't do it sooner. You knew what you needed and you made it happen. You did it safely. You got through it. Now you're going home. Mission successful!

 

Hugs!

Update: 

Well, I didn’t have any trouble getting into Japan, of course, but I did have to do another two-week quarantine. Just two more days! Can’t wait to get home!

 

So my thoughts about my surgery? Overall, I’m pleased, especially about the breast augmentation. However, it’s harder to tell with the facial feminization surgery. Breasts look great and the results are obvious, but I gather it takes time for the results of the face to settle in, so it’s hard to judge. I had a lot done on my face, but the changes are subtle, and there’s still a bit of swelling. I’ve read that a full recovery (in the sense of final results becoming obvious) takes a year, so I guess that’s normal. I’m not disappointed or anything, but I thought results would be a bit more obvious. 
 

Mainly, I’m just anxious to get home, where I’ll be able to eat my own food, see friends, exercise, and get back to work. Oh, and get some new bras and clothes!! Can’t wait to go shopping!

 

Thanks again for the support. Over the past month and a half, I only had one single day of crisis, so overall, everything went pretty well.

I think it will take some time for swelling to go down and scars to heal, but here I am today:

You look fabulous @Kasumi63. You have such a calm and peaceful demeanor for someone who has been through so much in a relatively short time. It appears like everything was a wonderful success. I wish you the best on the road to full recovery.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
