Hi all,
I have never posted on here before, but wanted to thank everyone on here for their conversations and questions, as I have been reading posts on Susans ever since I first started thinking of transitioning, all through my last 4.5 years on HRT and living completely as myself. It's been very helpful in so many ways. I am finally having my bottom surgery (MtF surgery) using the PI technique by Dr. Sutin at PAI on June 27th, and figured I would share my experience, to pay back to the community that helped me so much, considering how helpful it was to read the various experiences people have had with their surgeries. If anyone has any suggestions for pre-surgery prep, things to take, and how to maximize the ease of the immediate recovery period, and healing advice, it would be much appreciated. I will be flying from the West Coast of the United States (where I live) to Bangkok on June 23rd and will be there until July 23rd. I'm lucky enough to have my brother flying with me, and our parents arriving the day before the surgery, and staying with me the rest of my month in Bangkok. How realistic will it be for me to do any sight seeing, or actually enjoy aspects of Bangkok during weeks 2-4 post op? Also, to put me into context, I'm 25 and very healthy.
Thank you all!
