p.s. I do have the option of choosing Dr Bellinger or Dr Rashid. I don't particularly wish to go to CHX so that would leave Tina Rashid.
I'm happy with the idea of Phil Thomas' team though. A new surgeon, Dr Coker, seems to do a lot of the ops and I've seen good reviews. Of course, there will always be some unhappy people because not every operation goes perfectly. That's as true for Thailand as it is for the UK. Without being facetious, you see the same thing in restaurant and hotel reviews as for SRS. It's when you see a build up of unhappy clients that you really need to sit up, I think?
Dr Thomas and his team use a variety of methods these days: penile inversion and pen-scrotal inversion (scrota flap area) and he now uses the frenulum to construct the clitoris. I'm not interested in depth as I'm with a female partner and am not interested in taking a penis in my vagina. But I would wish for something that looks the part, although I'm acutely conscious that there's a massive variety in cis vaginas (hence the vagina wall exhibition).
It's a tricky one this. Would I fly to Thailand if I had oodles of money? Possibly. Perhaps, probably, though that would depend on my partner too. The fact is that I don't currently have a stash of cash so I'm going for what I feel is the best option under the NHS.
