Am I happy - Well yes I guess I am. I've achieved so much since transition especially in my career and position in life.
I am very grateful and thankful that by starting early in my 20's I never had the really damaging effects of Testosterone and no-one has any even the slightest inkling about my 'unfortunate' past life.

Regrets - Not being born this way to start with and not having any kids which is true for a lot of us, also regret not getting married and being the housewife I always wanted to be. Most of my family rejected me, which is something else I regret but can do nothing about

Do I feel complete - I'm as complete as I can be. Physically I'm happy with the way things turned out.

Is it what I always wanted - No - I always wanted to be the female I knew I was inside, right from the start. This would have also saved me many thousands of Dollars in Surgeries. But since I accepted my gender dysphoria in my 20's I think my expectations have been exceeded. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could live as I am now, and in that sense it is what I always wanted.

I am happy as a pig in #### !  After many years of singledom and dating quite a few frogs, I have found one who treats me like a princess and goes out of his way to please me.  Everything is PERFECT ..... I guess it is okay that he says, with a big grin, that I am "insatiable" 

  :eusa_dance:I AM ECSTATIC!!!!!! LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER !!!!! YES YES AND HELL TO THE YES LOL LOL

very much so

a really tough recovery and i learn alot about how i shape my own result as much as the surgeon did to begin in that time.
now things are much much easier, not painful and im complete, life still can get you down but its nothing to do with GID anymore.

I wonder what relevance i have here anymore and should leave but glad to be post op

Dr Suporn was my surgeon and i have alot to thank for what i have been given

I know I've already posted in this thread, but I'd like to answer more in depth my feelings on being post-op:

Am I happy? Yes, like Vanna said, very much so. I love waking up every morning in my new body. I love the way my clothes fit... I love the way my body fits. I've been cured of a profound lifelong affliction and I can't express enough how absolutely wonderful that is; nothing else even comes close.

It wasn't always that way. I had to have six units of blood replaced in the days following my surgery. I was 6 days in the actual hospital room, and could still barely force myself out of bed, head spinning, long enough to hobble around the bed with a walker so they would let me go home. The bleeding caused some other, painful complications, and I still had to contend with dilating 5 times a day.

The pain was intense but as with all things, this too passed... and eventually everything healed up very nicely, there isn't even a scar now. It looked dreadful at first, but now almost 9 months later everything has formed together as it should and my vagina is beautiful to me.

Is it what I always wanted? It was never about wanting it; it was a deep abiding need in the depths of my soul that could not be fulfilled without it. I'm still realizing the full grasp of how much this was so. And now I know that no one can ever take this away from me, and that is a treasure priceless beyond words.

Do I feel complete? If you mean as having aesthetically pleasing, functional female genitalia then yeah, it's as complete as it gets in this life. I am happily content with what I have but best of all, I'm finally whole.

Kia Ora Lucaluca,

I'm as contented now as I was before my surgery, surgery for me was not the "be all and end all " it was just a unexpected bonus that I appreciate...However for me, being on HRT and just being able to live and be treated  as my true psycho-sexual identity out in public provided the contentment that I was seeking...
