I only had the email address of one of the people.  The other I have only seen at support group meetings except last Saturday.  For the one I do have her email, I just got a reply from her and she said she will write back to you tonight.

From what I have heard that Dr. Reed charges the least amount but did you look at what it is for the money. You will have to put yourself up in a motel in Florida for 5 to 14 days. That cost money. You only stay in the hospital for 24 hours. Then you are on your own. Then you have the second surgery in about 3 months which is not part of the 12000 that is quoted. So another flight down to Florida and another motel bill. I don't know any more hidden costs but that put me off completely. If I can't stay in a hospital then I don't want that doctor to operate on me. My stay in Bangkok was all included, 50 dollars a night more my wife could stay with me in another part of the hospital. I knew how much I was spending.

Dr. Kunaporn performs sex reassignment related procedures like SRS, BA and Tracheal Shave.
He recommends his colleague Dr. Rushapol Swadat/Sdawat (excuse the spelling) for FFS and body contouring procedures and he is not that cheap either. These days, most Thai surgeons are more or less around the same price margin. I am not suprised if there are a few women around with bad results from him but also there are people out there who had complications from other surgeons and ended up visiting Dr. Kunaporn to get fixed. There are a few negative stories on every surgeon on the internet if you look deep into it. But people focus more on bad news as it travels faster. Like I always say to everyone who asks me for advice, having SRS overseas is risky business, there are good surgeons in Thailand but risks still do exist, you just have to do your homework well and go with your instinct and hope that it all goes well. That's the best you can do. Even if there are minor things to be fixed after, that's okay; it is not uncommon to go back for revisions. People who work in the health area and women who have a good network with others know this is normal.
