For a while now I have been strongly considering getting SRS and I'm actually finally starting to take the very first steps towards accomplishing this. I really would love an honest description of your experience.>what did you have to do to prepare?>what pre-emptive surgeries/work did you have to have done before the SRS?>how long did you wait?>how long did you have to have appointments with the clinic before surgery?How much did it cost?>how long did you have to recover?>what was recovery like?>what is it like now? what can you tell me about living with a clam?
>>43487905>what did you have to do to prepare?Paperwork, bring lots of documents for insurance and a lot of research to find a good surgeon (seriously, outcome depends a lot on how good your surgeon is)>what pre-emptive surgeries/work did you have to have done before the SRS?None, just HRT>how long did you wait?Longer than I wanted to because of paperwork>how long did you have to have appointments with the clinic before surgery?Only 2 previous appointments, one where they explain everything and one two weeks before as a check-up.>How much did it cost?~200€>how long did you have to recover?Depends on your definition, because I was able to work about 6 weeks after SRS, but wasn't back to 100% untill a few months.>what was recovery like?Nothing special, once out of the hospital it's mainly just dilate and letting your body heal.>what is it like now?Pretty nice, looks and works like it is supposed to, only needs occasionaly stretching (usualy PIV sex or masturbation with a dildo once in a while is enough)>what can you tell me about living with a clam?Honestly, I somewhat forgot how it was to have a dick and the only annoying thing is that I can't stand to pee.No more tucking, no more worried about if someone could see something, I can just go swimming.
>>43488031what surgeon did you end up going with?>None, just HRTI keep hearing some trans women say that you have to get hair removal beforehand incase hair grows inside>~200€Oh, we might not be in the same class if that's how much it costs for youOut of curiosity but what do you look like, do you pass?does your voice pass?did you get FFS and/or any other surgery other than SRS?
>>43487905Get electrolysis for your pubic hair. Shaving pubes when you have a vagina is awful. And even when you do shave them good luck masturbating the day after.
>>43488077You only NEED hair removal if your sheenis is too small and they need to use other parts for the lining inside the vagina. You should get electrolysis though because as I said in the post before, shaving pubes and worrying that you will cut your clit is the female equivalent of being shown a video of someone getting smacked in the balls.
>>43488081>>43488095noted
>>43488077>what surgeon did you end up going with?Team Markovsky>I keep hearing some trans women say that you have to get hair removal beforehand incase hair grows insideDepends on the exact technique, the way Markovsky does it you don't need to because they modify the skin used for internals.With many others you need to get hair removal.>~200€>Oh, we might not be in the same class if that's how much it costs for youThat's public healthcare>Out of curiosity but what do you look like, do you pass?Not going to doxx myself, but yes I pads and am mostly stealth.>does your voice pass?yes>did you get FFS and/or any other surgery other than SRS?No, just SRS
>>43487905>what did you have to do to prepare?2 years of hair removal in the genital area>what pre-emptive surgeries/work did you have to have done before the SRS?ffs and vfs>how long did you wait?I just had to wait for the hair removal.>how long did you have to have appointments with the clinic before surgery?my date was canceled due to covid, but maybe like 3 months>How much did it cost?free with insurance (USA)>how long did you have to recover?in the hospital in serious pain for 7 days, frequent dilation and loss of function at home for a week, after that it was mostly just uncomfortable dialation. after like 6 months I was mostly back to normal, just dilating twice a day.>what was recovery like?painful at first but then just inconvenient>what is it like now? what can you tell me about living with a clam?it just feels normal. I have sex, I pee sitting down. DESU my surgeon (Salim in SF) didnt make it pretty, but it's functional and I never have any problems with it. I don't think it would pass to a cis lesbian, but im straight. it's harder to masturbate becuase I used to have a foreskin.
>>43488095How on earth do you cut your clit while shaving?It's inside the vulva, and hair only grows on the outside of the labia majora.
>>43488153>Not going to doxx myself, but yes I pads and am mostly stealth.oh pelase, no one here cares and if you really are stealth then it matters even lessdid you voice train? if so what would you recommend for voicetraining?>>43488170interesting
>>43488176Well when I had a dick I really didnt care what happened to it so running a blade near it didnt feel scary. Now that I actually like my genitals, running a razor blade near the sensitive parts is scary.
>>43488221>did you voice train?Yes>if so what would you recommend for voicetraining?Professional experts in that, I went to a speech therapist and managed to get it covered by insurance >>43488231I just use a trimmer, and my clit isn't exposed but hidden in my vulva.So risk of cutting is low
>>43488359Yeah ive just been trimming them instead and its a lot better. Just that before my own vagina most of my expectations of them came from porn so being the dumb tranny that I am i thought shaving meant shaving everything.
>>43488231I mean it still hurts and stings in the shower if you have a dick
>>43487905Suporn clinic alumni here.>what did you have to do to prepare?nothing much, but in retrospect I would have done laser/electro. Bank does a follicle scrape so they don't show up in the vag itself, but I have some annoying labia hairs and a few surrounding the entrance I don't like>what pre-emptive surgeries/work did you have to have done before the SRS?none, I knew I wanted SRS so I avoided orchi etc.was lucky enough to be uncircumcised too>how long did you have to have appointments with the clinic before surgery?suporn clinic does a lottery. I applied twice and got denied and almost roped, but I got a date very quickly afterward by being on their contact list for dates which come up due to last-minute cancellations>How much did it cost?Around 25K in USD,including expenses.>how long did you have to recover?1 month spent in Thailand. Another month before sexual stimulation allowed. Another month before light penetrative sex allowed. 3 more months to pretty much fully recover>what was recovery like?shitty but bearable. Mostly just bed rest.>what is it like now? what can you tell me about living with a clam?I have some issues needing fix in revision but it's a lot better.I went with suporn largely because Bank can do a scrotal membrane graft, which allows for wetness to be way more sexually responsive than PPT. I once had a sex dream and woke up from my butt getting moistened.The smell and taste is basically 100% how it should be according to cisfs.It's great to be able to wear whatever I want and be able to be naked without wanting to die. I actually like the way my body looks in a mirror now.
>>43487905I haven't had srs, but what's your plan for the surgeon? montreal?
>>43488170who did you go to for vfs? what was that process like? are you happy with your results? how much did it cost?
>>43488940would you say it's more worth it to go to Supron than to get a normal PI for free in less time?
>>43489231I went to dr haben in Rochester. It made my voice deeper. I don't like my results. I think it was like 8k
>>43488940I hate posts like yours. I have a date with a top American surgeon for hybrid PI/PPT because I figure it will be way less hastle than the Suporn lottery or going to Thailand. I'm trying to have my mknd made up. But every time somebody posts about loving their Suporn result it gives me FOMO
>>43489064>>43489064it likely will be MontrealI don't have the type of capital to go elsewhereI have only briefly looked at surgeons but I will talk about it with the therapist
>mwahnon cutting her wingsa sad day for chasers
>>43489326I seeI have seen good results from montreal on the trans surgery subreddit, but I think I want to get ffs first before making that choiceI also probably won't be able to afford paying out of pocket, and I'm around the same age as you so I don't really want to wait too long at this point
>>43489320I mean the tunica vaginalis is the same tissue as the peritoneum, so you should ostensibly get the same results in terms of lubrication. hard to say since there's not really a lot of research on Supron technique vs other techniques.
>>43489377it's getting very painful to keep this thing...
>>43487905>prepareLaser hair removal in the area.>wait time15 months or so. This includes the appointments.>cost€22,000 (+/- 1k) including travel (intra-EU).>recoveryAbout 8 months. Healing was veeeeery slow. It worked out just fine but slower than the median (according to the surgeon). No complications.>what is it like now? what can you tell me about living with a clam?I don't understand the "living with a clam" idiom and google tells me that it's something secretive. Well,... I certainly didn't tell the whole world that I had srs so in that sense it is secretive but no more secretive than any other normal human, imo. Talking about the details of your genitals unprompted is weird, yk.Anyway, it works as it was supposed to and my brain adapted to the change pretty fast. Having a horny husband definitely helps. I stopped dilating right after recovery. It all worked out well for me because I had zero expectations on how it looks and only aimed for functionality. Certainly my srussy doesn't pass as cis all the time but it feels great. Masturbation is way more pleasant too due to the self-lubrication that comes with PPT.I had it done in Spain in 2019 (among the first patients when it became available in Europe). The only regret is PPT not being available even earlier. I had the money saved since 2016.SRS is totally worth it if you're into men only even if you're not dysphoric.t. MEF
>>43489397I used FFS as a test run despite wanting SRS worse. It was a smart thing to do but I also regret it in hindsight. Now that my face is fixed I want a pussy so bad it's absolutely unreal. I can barely continue my SRS research because I get crippling, bloodboiling envy when other trans girls talk about their results.
>>43490538i got ffs first because I wanted to be able to detroon in case I was truly cooked. don't regret it but do regret not starting the process earlier.
>>43489649what surgeon did u go to?
>>43489649also do u have (a lot of) dischsrge when not excited?
>>43490829Ivan Manero.>>43490851No. Never had that issue (or really any significant issue) at all in 7 years so far.
