I had my consultation with DR. McGuinn yesterday.  I must say she's pretty awesome.  Surgery is likely going to be April 16th but I haven't made that a firm date yet.  That is all.

Thanks!  And holy crap there's a lot of work involved with it.  Like way more work than just tucking every day but it will be so worth it.

Dilating just becomes a part of life's routines.

Which reminds me... I really need a manicure.

Congrats!!!

I'll have to dilate like a champ: 5x per day. Oh yeah and I need to get several electro clearings beforehand.  I'm pretty darn excited if you couldn't tell already.

Ah, yes... Ground Zero.

I remember lying on the table of an FTM electrologist in Seattle who specialized in presurgical electrolysis. MY husband walked into the room and proudly showed us the new tattoo he had just gotten."

I said it was very nice, but.."I couldn't mutilate myself like that."

He looked at the electrologist; they both looked at me spreadeagled on the table; and we all burst out laughing.

I had my SRS about 2 months later.

Still dilating twice a week after 11+ years.

Unless McGinn has changed her preference, she has always liked to operate on patients with genital electrolysis having been done. I'm not aware of whether or not she would scrape an un-electro'd patient, but I know she recommends electrolysis, and prefers its being done.

On that note, yaaaaay Maddie  ;D I'm very happy for you. Really! It looks like my SRS is set for winter 2012...

Perhaps I will get my SRS on the day the world ends. That would be pretty sweet.

She said it's my choice whether I get electro.  However she showed me the results of someone who decided not to get electro and well, the situation was a little hairy...

So I'm going to book a few electro sessions and clear out as much hair as I can.  All surgeons scrape the folicles, but it's not a guarantee that she'll get them all.  I'd rather have one of those Chinese hairless cats than a Persian long hair so electro it is.  And besides, I figure there's a reason Bowers requires it and McGinn highly recommend it seeing as they've both been through the surgery themselves.
