Sipping strong Belgian ale at The Belgian Monk while it was pouring rain in Norwich.

In Norwich? Not in Belgium?  😀

In Norwich? Not in Belgium?  😀

Yes!  It's one of the things I love about Norwich.  Some of the best beer in the world is an easy drive from my home.

The Belgian Monk is well connected with the many breweries in Belgium.  Brewery execs often host events there.

I am not sure exactly when it is going to happen but I am really hoping soon. I am in the process of arranging surgeries in India. I should be able to get 90 % + off all surgeries I want to get. It will be pricey but I think I might be able to handle it

[Lori Dee]

That's great news, Athena!

If I can finally get my inheritance from my mother who passed almost 4 years ago. Then I have to look at buying a home, I am thinking a townhouse. The one I am looking at would probably leave me with enough to go for the surgeries. We are talking facial feminization including face and neck lift, voice feminization, breast lift + augmentation, abdominal liposuction with tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift and finally hair transplant. We are talking about 16200 USD plus the cost of the voice feminization which might be another 2 k not sure. This is after taxes. This does not include airfare + approximately 3 weeks in Mumbai. I should hopefully be able to afford this soon. If I can I might look at getting lipo on the chest under the arm pits and upper arms possibly dental implants. I have heard that India hast first world doctors at third world prices and the example pictures look pretty good.

That seems like a lot to do all at once. Would it be practical to do one area at a time, then return for another after you heal up? I wonder if the doctors would give you a discount on future work due to being an established patient.

It would be tempting to do as much as possible while you are on the table sleeping, but many of these procedures are quite different, so maybe can't be done at the same time. Have you discussed this with the surgeons yet?

I hope it all goes well for you. It will be a long healing process, but I believe it will be worthwhile.

Yeah it's going to be a rough month but the surgeries would be done in 3-4 rounds. Also I am a big girl I am not going to spend 19 hours in economy so the airfare is going to cost probably 4 k. Doing it all in one trip is financially feasible but going home in between surgeries would mean I could only do one round of surgeries.
Stage 1:
• Breast augmentation
with implants
• 360-degree liposuction
of the abdomen,
flanks, and lower back
• Brazilian Butt Lift


Stage 2:
• Deep plane face lift
• Neck Liposuction with
neck lift
• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Facial fat grafting
• Lip lift
• Brow Lift

Then 5 or 5 days I can get the hair transplant

Not sure when the VFS would happen.

A family friend saw me at a Doctor appointment. She asked my niece who know about me. She since said she support me even though she's a Trump supporter. Since this is now an open secret with friends and family I came out in full on Facebook today. I've gotten nothing but thumbs up in comments. Well yes I'm surprised given all the flack the LGBT people have gotten.

She since said she support me even though she's a Trump supporter.

Some people realize that being trans has nothing to do with politics. There are Republican transgender people.

It is great that you received such acceptance on Facebook, too.
