Susan's Place Transgender Resources

My papers where sent out to Montreal atleast 41 days ago and I have still  heard nothing :(. It is a little disappointing as I really want to have a vagina now. I have wanted on since, well I'm not sure its been on my mind for so long I can't recall. But the past year or so since I began to truley embrace that I am female it has been on my mind. How long has it taken for anyone who has seen dr Brassard to get that consultation with his office for a date and how long is the general wait?

Be patient! It was was about eleven months from the time my doctor sent the referral to my surgery date. I did not hear anything from them for the first couple of months. I did phone to check on the status and to make sure all that was necessary was complete. My date was not set until just about six weeks before my date. I think I got a cancelation! I would recommend that you phone if you have not heard anything after a couple of months. They have a long list. Be friendly and they will be more likely to be the same. One you have a contact in the office, it is easier to communicate via email. There were nine women in the recovery centre with me, and I had the shortest wait time. Other girls from Canada had anywhere from 18 months to over two years.

Your referral will get processed. I know it is hard to wait. It was for me. I too wanted it like yesterday! You will get achieve you goal. Hugs! Kelly

I know when I was investigating surgeons his office took a solid two months to respond.  By then I had moved on.  I hear he's a great surgeon but his office is a tad bit slow.  I wouldn't be bashful about reaching out to inquire.
