I'm wondering a few things about having an orchi prior to GRS...

Specifically in Australia...

  • Do I need to get any psych evals? One, two, none?
  • Will any orchi surgeon do the trick or is a GRS specialist preferred?
  • Probable costs?

Generally
  • What's the average recovery time?
  • Post surgery care regime?
  • Presumably you come off Spiro afterwards - any adverse effects re blood pressure or water retention
  • How does the libido fare?
  • Is it likely to make any difference at GRS stage for neo-vag materials?
  • Does it make tucking easier?
  • Your overall happiness with the procedure?

Please PM me if you don't want to answer here...

WPATH 7 says 2 referrals just like SRS.

Suporn won't always do SRS after an orchi. Its got to be done a very specific way. I don't know about other surgeons.

I think I've read somewhere that some people have to continue anti-androgen for a while afterwards. I don't recall how common this might be.
