Kia Ora,

Just for the fun of it, I've  resurrected this old thread....(A thread from the dead)

So would YOU do it?

Metta Anatta

Yes without a doubt in the world.

Yes with two conditions...
1) surgery must be performed by experienced professional.
2) guaranteed free (or affordable within my budget) HRT as soon as medically possible after surgery.

Attack of the zombie thread!  Run for your lives!

Let's see... Cancel weekend plans, skip St. Patrick's day party, call mom.

Done.   

This was for which surgery now?  Tell me I didn't just sign up for a breast reduction!

I said yes. 

how come there's no option for "no surgeries under any circumstances ever"

Without a doubt.

I chose yes with reservations, particularly concerning my weight. 

It would be hard on my body to do both top AND bottom surgery  (and lipo) at the same time, but if I had to in order to get "free" offer then I will.  I'd just need a A LOT of recovery time and an excellent nurse.

                     YES  !!!!!!!

I'm on a waiting list so - yes

yes without a doubt...

hey its free!

I already voted no, but this would basically be my response to the question on genital surgery. Top surgery I already had and I reserve the right to a face lift in the future. 

Absolutely, yes. About the only thing I would be hesitant would be credentials. Even if they were doing it as part of their medical training to specialize in the procedure, as long as they were being overseen by someone well established and with great credentials in a hospital setting, I would probably be willing.

So, that would be a pretty strong yes.

That's why the "other" option is there I assume.

Kia Ora WT,

I must admit I added the "other" after Oriah had posted her comment, and in direct response to her comment...

I would say yes to SRS, but first I have to know quite a few things:

1: What's the catch?  (Do I have to say "thanks" publically, donate a kidney later in life, so forth so forth?)
2: Is it a liscensed professional with a good track record doing the job?  (I'd rather not be the doc's "first time" as I am not the romantic type.)
3: Will it be legally recognized?
4: What are the reasons for "giving away" a "free" surgery?  It's not really free: someone's paying for it.  Which leads to the next question:
5: Who is really paying for it?
6: Are the people "paying for it" consenting to the procedure, or are they being duped/strong-armed into it?
7: Who is paying for travel?  The nearest place that does this procedure is a 4 hour drive away from where I am at, I believe, down in SF.  I can pay for the travel, but pulling the money out of my undies in 24 hours isn't happening...I'd need to save up for a week or two/made sure I had the money to travel.

I am a hard skeptic.  If it is too good to be true, I WILL proceed with caution.

Even if I had to pay it back and they said "hey come in tomorrow" I would be like "packing my bags now"

That sure would be nice. Plastic surgery is almost as expensive as GRS surgery.

Without hesitation I would!

Meh....I had an orchi, so I'm good. I would ask them to give me the money for the surgery and go on vacation or something.
