Experiences from Post Op MTF's with Dr. Satterwhite

[andreapdenver]

Turns out my surgery May 3 will be Sutter Pacific medial center.  Feeling better about that.

Glad that it worked out for you As far as I know, I'm still getting mine done at Greenbrae Surgery Center, same building as the consultation. I found out when they do the surgeries there,  they transfer patients after the first night to a place called Kindred (recovery facility very close by) where you stay the next two days post op. Best of luck to you. May 3rd is coming up soon!

Thanks so much.  I wanted to reply to your private message, but for some reason I cannot.  I think I have to be a paid member here or make a donation or something.  Regardless, yes, it is close.  I am looking at hotels and tickets now.  Also debating whether to come home after the first or 2nd post op.  If I have no complications, I might come home and be released into my doctor's care since she has a lot of exp with trans patients.  Definitely want to stay connected with you Ruby.

RubyAliza, did not realize we have to be moved post op.  That sounds like a bit of a nightmare.  Hope I am worrying needlessly.

Well, three days post op you're okay to take a little ride. Not comfortable but still okay. If they transfer you the same day you will probably be still numb a bit down there si it shouldnt be a problem either.

I too am interested in full details.. I'm in the Bay Area, so Satterwhite is a local option if I go for SRS (still so early for me!). Honestly I'm in this thread so maybe there is less 'if' than I am admitting to myself right now   

Ruby if you end up making a thread to share your experiences and think of it, do please drop a link in here!

andreapdenver - Yes, let's stay connected I've met so many incredible trans gals (and guys) so I'm always down to be a supportive, helpful, compassionate person. Let me know if I can help at all.

Hi Kelseygal, first, you look so good in your profile pic! Yes I will post a thread documenting the experience. In fact, I'll get that started this week because why not. It'll be on the main gender correction surgery board but I'll post a link here too. So far,   I'm very optimistic that he's an amazing surgeon with a very reasonable wait list

I'll definitely post all about my experience with him too.  Feeling optimistic.  Ruby, thanks!

[WendyAnn.1969]

Yeah, me too, but I'm not until 3rd week in July. I'd be happy to share.

[Jessie Ann]

I called for a consult..... Was told Aug 10th was the first available date, then a 3-6 month wait for surgery date.  Sorry, I'm not going to wait a year. Thank goodness I have the ability to go where I want.

[andreapdenver]

Tickets booked and hotel room reserved.  Any advice on what to bring from home and what to buy there?  I think my shopping list from them would be better to buy there.  I'll arrive on a Sunday, pre-op appt Monday and surgery on May 3.  Excited and scared to death all at the same time.

Hello ladies,

Sorry for the late entry to this post lol.

Wondering how every one is doing?

Having a consult with Dr.Crane

[KrisAvery1969]

I'm due to get cut just 5 days from tomorrow and I'm not even begun packing.
I'm not in a rush. I have a very busy life and this is just a nice thing get done. Like a tune up on a old car.
I'm older and not very typical.

[LebanesePrincess]

im lost lol

Well, I'm coming up on 7 months post op now. Almost completely healed (only a small amount of swelling and almost no scarring). Looks awesome and I am 100% happy to have chosen Dr. Satterwhite as my surgeon.

[Dietmountaindew]

That's great Seq, I'm going in December of this year, hope I see good results as well. I'm only 18, and totally ready.

Awesome! You are in great hands. FYI.... I have had sex a few times now which is awesome and I've had no issues with anything. Good luck!!
