Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.
I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.
Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me. I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS.
Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS. My life had unraveled. The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria. My marriage was blowing up. I couldn't sleep. Very hard time.
This is me a couple days post FFS with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast. The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super. It made a hard time much easier. I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.
A few days ago at work. I'm down 164 lbs and I'm Jennifer, I'm me, I'm happy. Although, I'm still dieting with another 20-30 to go! I'll make it....
It's never to late for anyone to be themselves.
HUGS!!!!
Jen
P.S I also got insurance to pay for FFS AND GRS is now covered at 100%. If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here and I'll help.

Jen- I am new to the forum, but your pictures documenting your amazing transition are so very, very helpful to me. Seeing how beautifully you have walked down that dark road is just so affirming and positive. This helps me at so many levels. Thank you for sharing that sequence. I will not forget it.
