On Saturday morning I received my GRS date  from Dr. Chettawut in Thailand. My surgery is for May 15th, and I'm leaving Los Angeles on May 11th. I'm sooo happy I can't believe it! Many, many Hugs!!!

Wow, congrats Mira!

Congratulation, good luck.

Congrats and best wishes!

Woo hoo.
Weeks will turn into days, days into hours....and before you know it....you'll be on that plane.

So excited for you! Can't wait until it's my turn x

Bravo. The only downfall is the airplane trip. MANY MANY hours.

So true but so worth it :)

Exciting news, Miranda Catherine.  Less than three months away - not long at all!

All the best. :)

Thank you, ladies. The days are already flying by and I'm starting to get nervous, not about the surgery, but I still need some paperwork to be done. It's weird, though, when my mom first told me again she'd pay for the surgery, my S.O. was talking about going with me and I was just hoping that this would be the final bonding between us, and now I'm without him, on my own and he wants to see other men, not a transgendered woman who's deeply in love with him and who won't have what he grew to want more than me. I think I was way too small for him anyway. I'll find someone else, but I would have married him and it hurts a lot. He's all for me having the surgery, though, because he says he knows I've always been female with a birth defect and he wants to see me happy. Me too, so I'm going. There's someone else out there for me, but I thought I had a keeper. Screw it, I found out about this surgery at 14, and prayed then that someday I'd be able to get it, and now, 46 years later, I am!!! Thanks again, Ladies! A whole bunch of hugs, Mira

I'm glad you're proceeding with the surgery. I know it's easier said than done and I know it's hard, but everything happens for a reason and there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Take care and best wishes!

Hello Ladies,

    I sent in my 20% deposit on Thursday and it got there on Friday, but I asked that same day in an e-mail if there were any closer dates, because my main reason for asking for a surgery date that far away was that first, I was under the assumption that any wait was several months in advance and two, I hadn't received my passport yet and I'd applied for it a few days before Halloween. I received it on Saturday, but found out last Wednesday it was approved and on its way. So I asked and was told by Dr. Chettawut that I could get April 7th. I'm going to take it and get going with my life. I need to have this surgery first, then my back surgery and then a hip replacement. I bought my plane tickets and I leave on April 2nd and arrive in Bangkok, April 3rd!!! It only took me 46 years from the first time I read about transsexuals and surgery to getting it. I wouldn't call it procrastinating though. I was busy destroying my life for 42 1/2 years, and trying to rebuild it the last 3 1/2. Hugs, Mira

Congratulations and good luck Mira.
My gosh, you must be super excited.

I remember when I knew my date was six months out, the counting of months, weeks, days and hours.
Before you know it, the day will be here.

Woo hoo.

Nina
