Hello everyone!
I've been checking out this site for years but never signed up until now. A bit about me. My name is Tricia, started hormones at 16, FINALLY getting SRS now at 30 on September 14th of this year :) The reason why it took so long? The gender clinic closed down in BC then i was in europe for a few years.
But i'm super excited now that I have my surgery date, as well as BA with Dr Brassard in Montreal. I just got the date last friday after I got my approval from MSP the day before. It's crazy that I got only like 60 days notice. I heard it was usually about 6 months, but i'm not complaining!
I'm so excited to finally put this part of my life behind me and feel complete :) I'm shaking with excitement. I can't wait!
Hello to everyone, and ciao for now =)
Welcome Tricia :).
Congrats on your surgery date. You and Kristyn will be there the same time, you two should talk :P
Wow ANOTHER Brassard Girl :D. There's a lot of girls having srs this year and with Dr. Brassard :P

Have you tried calling the office and seeing if they can put you down on the list if someone cancels? Tricia got her date on (I believe she said) Friday? so there must have been a cancelation on the 14th. I would call to see if you can move up.

I would have loved to book it earlier. When i scheduled there were opening in Sept but i had to go for October. My brother is coming and that's the best time for him work wise. That and i already got my plan tickets and stuff so i will just have to be patient.

The reunion idea is a great idea as well. Also, I'm definitely well forewarned on the initial results :p But i'm so excited I'll be happy regardless :) I may be weak in the knees but i'll be floating that's for sure :D
Thanks Suigeniris! :) I can't wait.

I keep trying to prepare mentally as well to not freak. I know things cant look to pretty at first. I mean i was worried over the way the sutures looked after my orchi but they were fine in a matter of weeks, and an orchi pails in comparison to SRS

Me too Jessica. As I'm going for my BA too that's another worry too! But I have a great support network and I trust Dr Brassard will do what he does best. Our job is to rest, heal, properly take care of ourselves and in no time things will look and function the way they should. Our hard work will be rewarded!
