I don't know since there's no real other board to really put this, since it's not the other two... and it is a sort of "bottom" surgery.

I guess my real big thing is that I'm trying to look for a surgeon who would even do it, and even figure out what I have to do in order to obtain the ability to do it. I guess at least knowing surgeons around my area so I can individually ask them would be a help... though I want to know also of other guy's experiences as well.

I'm really wanting it because of many reasons:
1.) Heavy Flow/Anemia despite taking pills and eating iron heavy food
2.) EXTREME fear of pregnancy
3.) Menstruation that lasts 14+ days
4.) Feel almost suicidal when I start menstruating and feel really worthless and wanting to disappear... despite when I'm not on my period, I feel just fine and dandy and the Zoloft works.

I have had my top surgery. I'm even on T through a family planning program. I'm just trying to find the next step and how to achieve it... even if I don't have the money right now.

My endo sent me to a surgeon who did an evaluation and worded things to pass for the insurance company. Maybe ask your therapist or regular doctor to speak to a surgeon.

I don't have a therapist or a doctor. Just a nurse practitioner at a STD clinic and the community college nurse practitioner...
Both of which don't know where to really look for anything trans related.
