After alot of research, I came down to 3 surgeons.....Dr Preecha at the PAI, Dr. Saran (trained by Dr. Preecha) and the Yanhee Hospital.  I have considered surgeons in the US but I decided against it.  I've realized (and I'm guestimating) that huge hospital fees for OR and Recovery are a major portion of US fees.  In the end, I've come to understand that those 3 Thai surgeons have just as good results as any US surgeon. 
I decided on Dr. Saran next month.  He isnt the cheapest nor the most expensive at $8K USD but he is the one I feel most comfortable with.

I've been leaning more towards Dr. Saran for the surgery if I ever raise the money for it.

I actually have a blog going right now asking for any and all donations so that I may one day afford my surgery:

But if money weren't an issue I'd see Dr. McGinn in Pennsylvania.

I plan on doing some more research.
Thank you all for your input!

You might also care to check with your insurance carrier! Mine is thankfully covering 100% of all fees with Dr. Bowers, hospital and anesthesia. If it turns out that your does cover it, why worry so much about the hospital fees?

I had my surgery May 9th with Dr. Mcginn, at the time i scheduled last year it cost $17,500.00 which included her fee, anesthesia and the hospital, it has since gone up to $18,500.00, i just totaled all my expenses, including gas, tolls, hotels food and miscellaneous items, the total came to just shy of $20k.

I chose Dr. Mcginn because she was relatively close, 480 miles away plus she was the only one close that would operate on me with my medical history which includes diabetes, close enough to return if there were complications and for followups at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.

Since my Cigna insurance would not cover my surgery due to my company excluding anything GID related i will deduct the expenses on my income tax at the end of the year.

Also performs FTM Top Surgery and FFS.

I've met Patient #3, she stated she was able to orgasm, but he had not worked out a dilation protocol with his pt's at the time she had surgery. Recently, last 3-6 mo.? She told me he does 2 "free" revisions, she'll need at least one due to closing up.

Hi girl, i had a srs question if u dont mind. it seems to me that bowers girls are happy and recover faster than suporn girls but suporn girls seem to talk about sex more and being really orgasmic.

were bowers girls dont. do bowers girls orgasm?

it also seems like bowers girls dont rave about their vaginas as much as suporn girls do and bowers has some negative comments about her on the internet were ive only found 1 with suporn.

Maybe I can answer your question.
I had srs back in '84 and even I can have sex and an orgasm.
Last time I had a cystoscopy due to kidneystones and the urologist said they did a pretty good job, because from the outside
A different with cis girls can't be seen.
The recovery is different from person to person depending on your own medical condition.
You can't compare because everybody is different and the healing is from your body, the surgeon is putting the tissue to eachother and put stitches in it.
The recovery and healing is your job and one heals better than another.

For example, i was working in a hospital who only had the heavy cases of myocardial infarction, when someone was in a very bad shape the ambulance brought the patient to that hospital because there were the best possibilities.
Needles to say that if such a hospital only get the worst cases the mortality range was higher compare to hospitals with smaller injuries.
Is this hospital worse than the others, no of course not, I should say better, but the statistics say there is a higher mortality range.
That's an example why there is no compare possible based on statistics.

BTW, talking about sex and orgasms is slightly different than having it.

I think the techniques used by the today's experienced surgeons are all good, especially in the western world.

If you go for the lowest price there is a possibility that the assistant will do the op, and you only will have one chance, what is cut off will never grow on again.

In the US and Europe the costs are higher but the doctors have to take care or they can be sued, so for their own benefit, they have to work from the standards of quality.
You can ask each one of us about the difference of surgeons but we only had one surgeon, so we can't compare, we can only be happy with the results or not.
For the record, I'm happy, but it takes some time to get used to the new parts and to know every corner of it, to have experience with sex.

I hope this is a answer to your question
