Back-to-back surgeries = not good, yes?

Let's say it was possible to have both FFS and SRS in a 12 month period...how far apart would The Hive suggest, assuming no complications or contraindications?

Is 6 months too close? 9 months? or wait a full 12 months?

FFS first.

Not sure personally but from the little I've been hearing about ffs I think the 6 months would be ok. The main concern is allowing your body to heal, it can only take so much damage. In the end I am thinking only your doctor can really answer that question though.

Will agree i would check with the doctors and see what they say.

I am like almost 5 months out from my GCS and to be honest there is no way i would want to go through any other surgery at this moment.
With that said if you wish to do 2 in a year and doctors are on board i would suggest you do the FFS first then the GCS. Dilation schedule takes a lot out of your life the first 4 months.

Yes, FFS will be first....and no matter what, I'll wait until I'm ok'd from that before sending in the money for the SRS date. (which is about...what?...4-6 months wait between money-->date?)

[Christine Eryn]

I'm in the same boat as far as FFS first, then SRS. My timelines are all screwy anyways, and years of HRT can no longer be hid. So, there's a 99% chance I will have FFS next year sometime. I would want SRS as soon as possible after that, if funds permit. That's just me though.

My endo told me today that I should wait 6-8 months after FFS. We shall see...

So ezzzzzited!!
