How did you pay for surgery? I'm not made of money and you're probably not either. I always have wondered how everyone pays for their surgeries, whether its FFS, SRS/GRS, Top Surgery for the guys or Breast Augment for the girls.
If you paid a with a different way, please share with us in the comments!
If you've had multiple surgeries, feel free to vote more than once!
Thanks everyone!
I paid for top surgery with a credit card and a cash gift from my parents after they heard I was paying for it with credit. I didn't have trans inclusive healthcare coverage at the time.
My hysterectomy and bottom surgery are being paid for by insurance. Any out of pocket expenses will be going on a credit card and mostly paid with via my tax return.
I paid for top surgery by working 3 jobs. My goal was to have top surgery before one year on t. Goal completed. I'm 6 months post op. :D

Sounds great I don't think I could pull all that off though.
SRS with insurance and Flexible Spending Account (FSA). I paid for preoperative electrolysis out of pocket and then any surgical fees and deposits were paid with my FSA. I ended up spending around $5,000 out of pocket and with my FSA and insurance covered the rest. I have Cigna through my employer and live in California.

It wasn't easy but my hard work paid off, I was saving As much as I could. In the end I reached my goal. I'm back to one. No need to overwork myself right now.
