After fighting with health insurance for nearly a year, I suddenly have a
surgery date in less than two months and just … Aaaaaaaaaaa o.o I’m so nervous
x.x It does match nicely with my other plans tho - like moving to Finland in
roughly half a year … but I completely didn’t expect it to work out this nicely.
Even boss was like, after some “can we manage to release those features before?”
(I’m a tech lead and service owner at an IT hosting company), “say yes to that
proposed appointment, we’ll make it work” I still can’t quite believe it o.o my
downstairs has an expiration date o.o I’m out since July 2018, on HRT since
April 2019 and had my first appointment for GRS in late October 2023 - even tho
there where some unnecessary delays, it worked out way faster than expected. Am
German btw, AOK plus. They wanted a chromosome test which was the longest step
since the lab was fucking slow. Big surgery scary tho x.x Sorry, just had to
vent that somewhere
Surgery went fine on 2024-09-20 in Munich Bogenhausen, I’m recovering well and everything looks fine so far :)
Ok so hair removal just shaving very thoroughly the night before or the day of the surgery before the actual surgery and stopping hormones taken orally two weeks before surgery (only progesterone for me)
I also had to get various things, like dilators (I got a prescription on the pre-surgery appointment) and sometime to clean my new body cavity (vaginal shower)
In my case, I also (tried) to make some silicone backups of the old hardware configuration - in case someone ever tells me to go fuck myself… ^^` but that’s not necessary (plan some days to do so, don’t rush it…)
Congratulations, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I’m curious what preparations were necessary (hair removal, stopping hormones etc), if any, and how long they took?
Thank you for sharing <3
Thanks :)
