Kathy's GRS thread

[KathyLauren]

I just got approval from my insurance for GRS funding, so it is time to start a thread to document that process.  Do not expect a lot of activity right away, the initial steps take months.  But it is going to happen!!

Dear Kathy:
Thank you for sharing your future GRS plans.... one of the big, big steps in your journey for sure.
I hear you about the initial steps taking months, but me and your followers certainly want to follow you all the way.

I am so glad that you started your GRS thread so that we can follow you and continue to root for your success.

I will be eagerly looking for your updates as you feel free to post them.

The surgeon will be Dr. Brassard.  He is the only one that my insurance will deal with.  The date will depend on his schedule.  It is a long process to get into the queue, and the queue itself is long.  Stay tuned.

Kathy, now that you have this thread started we are going to expect a lot of updates. Actually I am looking forward to when you get your consultation appointment set.

I have a procedure scheduled for about seven weeks from now and Deb tells me that I need to start a thread for that soon. You do your thread so well, I don't do them well at all....I will be looking for your examples to follow.

Thanks, everyone!

Kathy, now that you have this thread started we are going to expect a lot of updates.

Tia @Anne Blake, I will definitely update this thread when I have something to update it with.  I expect to do a whole bunch of waiting between updates. 

The next thing will probably be a consultation with my doctor prior to submitting my application to Dr. Brassard's clinic.  Then, several months' wait until they respond.  Then waiting for a date, then waiting for the date to arrive.

So, I don't recommend holding your breath waiting for updates!  But I promise to update it whenever something happens!

Congratulations Kathy. Wanna race? I'd wager you will have your GCS before I can even though I have been referred and have a consult date. July30, 2019 then a wait for a date and a wait for the date after. Roughly 2 1/2 years to go. Good luck Hun.

Hugs, Laurie

Good luck Kathy, best wishes for a smooth process and a quick recovery. X

Thanks, ladies!

@Laurie, this sure doesn't feel like a race.  I'm not going to take any bets on who gets there first.  Hopefully, we both make it.

I have an appointment March 5th with my doctor to go over my application to GRS Montréal.  I could have let her submit the application on her own on my behalf, but it is worth driving into the city to make sure everything is right.  I want to make sure that I am requesting the right procedures (vaginoplasty without vaginal cavity, and trachea shave) and that I can sign anything that needs to be signed.
