An update on me...

Michelle_P · August 25, 2018, 06:19:15 PM

I'm spending the day resting after a long drive and road trip with @Laurie.

On Tuesday at 6 AM I am scheduled for facial feminization surgeries (FFS), lots of bone work on my skull. This is something that I consider the 'real' gender confirmation surgery, as nobody else can tell that I've had the vaginoplasty work done under my clothing.

Surgery is being done by Dr. Kleinberger with Kaiser NorCal. Here's my last selfie before surgery.

Michelle,

I know how much you are looking forward to your surgery, or better stated, to the results of the surgery after you have healed. With no intention of diminishing the surgery, both Deb and I, while looking at, "Your last selfie", agreed that you look just soooo cute! Take it for what it is worth considering the source, your two crazy eccentric lady friends.

Love you girl and best of luck achieving your wishes from this surgery,
Tia Anne & Debi

Hi Michelle

I really hope the surgery goes well for you. The recovery from these things can be a bit tough but I know how prepared you are. I admire your determination and your success. I hope it turns out better than you expect and you can achieve the outcome you want.

Speedy recovery and sweet dreams

Liz

Thank you, @LizK and @Anne Blake. The goal with FFS isn't to do anything drastic, but simply to look the way I should, and the way I try to look without all the contouring and shading tricks hidden in my 'everyday' look.

I'd love to be able to throw something on, run out to the church, store or post office, and be gendered correctly without spending 20-25 minutes on makeup.

Cindy · August 26, 2018, 01:46:56 AM

Hope it all goes wonderfully and quick and safe recovery

Drexy/Drex · August 26, 2018, 07:58:57 AM

Good luck I look forward to the results .....it will be marvelous 😊

Good luck with your surgery, Michelle! I won't ask for pictures right away, but I will be happy to see some when you feel like posting any.

Karen · August 26, 2018, 08:58:17 AM

Good luck Michelle. Very excited for you.

EXACTLY, Michelle! My goal is to be able to "phone it in" as some of my friends can do, and not be misgendered. I have a Skype consultation with FacialTeam on Thursday to discuss precisely that.

Michelle_P · August 27, 2018, 10:55:13 AM

Thanks, everyone!

I just put my boarder, Robyn, on her flight to where she is having GCS. One nervous gal, but she will be OK. Today I do last minute shopping and prep.

6 AM tomorrow i check in at Kaiser for my FFS surgery. Wow. I can't believe it is time already. Finally!

@Laurie is here to aid me in recovery, thank goodness. I don't know what I'd do without her. I'm nervous, worried, and excited. What an emotional mess!

I so appreciate your good wishes, and will try to keep this up to date. I hope to see everyone on Road Trip 4.0 or on the Road Trip World Tour. We have passports...

All the best, Michelle! Can't wait to see the results when you're done gilding the lily.

Michelle, you will do great. I know that you are nervous about the all off it but when it gets tough, just remember your hugs from Deb and me.

Deb says to tell you that our prayers are with you.

Love you girl,

Michelle! I did read (Laurie and Michelle Road Trip) that you were getting ready for this day. I am waiting for my approval for FFS from Kaiser SoCal. I would love to exchange notes about your procedures and recovery. First, I'm guessing I won't be going in any time soon. I only requested it last week from my therapist. I mean you and Laurie were on the road for about a month? I do want to have it done as soon as possible.

Anyway, I want to wish you success and a speedy recovery.

Hugs,
Donica.

Donica · August 27, 2018, 12:06:18 PM

Oh wait!! It's been two weeks since I requested both VFT and FFS. I wonder why it's taking so long to here from them? Kaiser is usually very prompt?

Northern Star Girl · August 27, 2018, 01:01:19 PM

@Michelle_P @Laurie
Dear Michelle:
It is a wonderful thing to have someone like Laurie, who is very "close" to you, to be at your side taking care of the details while you are undergoing things like this....
I am wishing you success and wonderful results.

Updates from you and Laurie will be eagerly anticipated.
Hugs, and well wishes.
Blessings to you.
Danielle
