Title: Suggestions/Recommendations for GCS Surgeon in Chicago, IL
Post by: Breeze 57 on February 19, 2019, 01:42:31 PM
The topic pretty much says it all.  Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the Chicago, IL area for GCS?  Has anyone had GCS in the Chicago, IL area?

Yes,
Dr. Loren Schechter

There is a newer doctor near by in Madison doing great work.  Two of my friends have had surgery do be by her.  Her work is amazing and they both returned home after a week.

Her name is Dr. Gast.  She takes insurance also.

So you're semi familiar with Dr Gast?  She's  in my insurance network and my doctor has met her so I was hoping to find out more about her. So far no one else here has mentioned that they have heard anything.

I am 10 weeks post office with Dr Loren Schechter.

I went to a pelvic floor physical therapist yesterday.  She said that if she didn't know i just had GCS she would not have known.

She also said that she didn't think I really need a separate libiaplasty.  This is coming from someone who sees cis-vaginas all day, every day.

Would I use Schechter again?  In a heart beat.

@Denise:
Dear Denise:
This is very terrific news for you and obviously boosts your confidence regarding your "bottom" appearance and your overall confidence in your body for sure.

Your comment is also a first rate recommendation for your Doctor.... 

Thanks for posting this wonderful information about your post-op exams and results that any girl would want.

Hugs and best wishes to you.
Danielle
