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?

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday
    • MaeBe
      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.
