I guess you already know this, but just in case, after voice surgery you need to be careful when going under general anesthetic to avoid damage to the vocal cords. I believe its often left until last because of this.

Good point - although I made surgeons aware of other timing (I am at the bare minimum) I'll double check with FacialTeam.

For 2018:

Get the facial hair gone!  I'm down to about 2 hrs/week of electrolysis. Yah, "Down to".

Get Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) done.

After FFS recovery, investigate hair transplants.

Look into some other appearance rejuvenation; CO2 laser, phenol peel, etc.  Don't know if I will do them, but I will investigate.

Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
Electrolysis - Hours in The Chair: 238 (8.5 were preparing for GCS, five clearings); On estradiol patch June 2016; Full-time Oct 22, 2016; GCS Oct 20, 2017; FFS Aug 28, 2018; Stage 2 labiaplasty revision and BA Feb 26, 2019

Continue to pack up the old me and unwrap the new me. Be thoughtful rather than be reactionary. Relegate I to the dustbin and upgrade to us and we. Finish up electrolysis. Lastly I hope people can come to Seattle for Gender Odyssey in August as it is a great experience.

Roll

1) More hair regrowth, and after I hit the one year mark on finast/minox a consult to see if I can/should go ahead and do transplants. I WANT MY OWN HAIR!!!

2) Boobs. They don't need to be big. I just want something. Probably no implants this year, would like to be past 2 year HRT mark on that.

3) HRT fat redistribution!

4) Starting and mostly finishing hair removal! (A big one for me!)

5) Weight loss!!! I really want to get down to below 180 in the next 6 months.

I am hoping to start low dose HRT.  I have an initial appointment on the 13th set.  Maybe I won't get to nervous and back out!  Super scared and second thinking it already!

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

Well, tomorrow is my "Rebirth Day" if all goes well. 

While I don't foresee any problems, maybe it's my anxiety saying that something will happen.

I've truly been blessed to have come in contact with all of you and enjoy both reading the subjects and exchanging messages.

If I did it right, my little ticker should say 1 day and that is suppose to reflect the time until I get to HRT.

Love to all

2018 is going to be a limbo year all around, so I'll take what I can get.

I'll probably start dressing - rock that butch lesbian look. I'll be doing some therapy, but will probably be coming out to friends and want my husband and friends to start using new pronouns. I'll be binding around them too, or at the very least going completely bra-less. Explore HRT options in the country where I'll be relocating to. Depending on how 2018 goes, 2019 will be the year for everything else.

Paula, you've come this far, I hope you find the courage to take the next step! There is no harm/risk in meeting with a doctor and any anxiety you might feel would be normal. Maybe take someone with you, even if they stay in the waiting room/car during your appointment. Or if no one's available, maybe make a plan to treat yourself if you follow through. We all face these one-time hurdles - our journeys are filled with them.

Best of luck!
