Before beginning the process of getting approval for the orchi, I asked GH and Dr Meltzer if having this would in any way affect the procedure or the insurance benefits.
No, and no, so I went ahead with it. My orchi surgeon is familiar with Dr Metzer and his needs for a particular incision location, so everyone was on the same page.
I felt very bad about canceling (I now say "postponed", because I did reschedule it) and I wanted to share with others that it's not the end the world...one just has to think about why we felt the need to cx (in my case, fear of surgery anesthesia not working--which was based on a childhood event) as well as post-op pain and complications.
Ok, I gave in to my fears. Oh well!
I'm still me, still a woman, and still want SRS. I feel much better about anesthesia now that I've experienced the best that 2015 technology can give (as opposed to 1969), and with "the boys" gone, the rest is going to be easier to accept.
Chin up! Stiff upper lip, and all that! Now if ya'all will excuse me, I have to change my dressing.
*hugs*
