Seeing my surgeon on Monday!

[Natasha Anne]

I'm off to see my surgeon on Monday. It's for my SRS/GRS and breast augementation consultation. After that he will work out the costs and an appropriate date and that will be that.

I cannot express properly my excitement about it. To know I have my permission, am seeing him and getting the costs and a date soon after that.

I am nervous too because he will be checking out the areas he is going to work on. I cannot recall the last time I had someone looking at those bits of me. I know it's all for a good cause, but other than for tucking and going to the restrooms I really have nothing to do with those parts these days.

The other reason I am nervous is that I am going to have to get a loan to get the work done. So I am hoping the amount is not so large I am unable to do that! I simply have to get this over with now.

Natasha, I hope all goes well with your surgeon on Monday. I have so enjoyed sharing the journey with you and am looking forward to the next step with you. Maybe these will help ease the jitters...:love:

My GRS and BA looks like it will be on 26/9! I hope it all is confirmed soon!

[Clare]

Hey Natasha.

Oh, that's great news! I bet you are so ready!!!

I trust all will go well with the procedures and you have satisfactory results.

I'll be keen to hear about forthcoming and subsequent activities. I wish you all the best over the next few weeks.

Luv and hugs Sis :hugs:

Fantastic news Natasha! I imagine the wait to seem endless, but it's just around the corner. I am so happy for you. :)

That's great news, Natasha. The 26th will be here before you know it! Are there any preparations you have to make between now and then?

[ChristineRenee]

Best of luck Natasha...I hope all goes well for you.:hugs:

[Natasha Anne]

That's great news, Natasha. The 26th will be here before you know it! Are there any preparations you have to make between now and then?

Yes, ,but surprisingly little:

Find the cash - still struggling, but positive
Update my will :heehee:
Special diet to clean me out with some prescription sachets to mix with water too
Antibiotics to start 5 days before

[Natasha Anne]

I raised the cash. I was nervous about that, and so felt a little ambivalent about the actual GRS and BA. Now that I know it's paid for, there are a flood of emotions overwhelming me, ranging from excitement, apprehension, nervousness and impatience. It's actually a nice set of emotions. I'm walking on Cloud 9 unable to believe it is a mere 17 days right now while at the same time wishing it was today.

It's amazing that it is real now, and I remain without doubt that it is something I simply have to get behind me, so I can live the life I need to.
It's not that I doubted I was a woman, it's more like each new step just confirms it even more. I guess having absolutely fear of losing my manhood, and actually desiring that it be gone is one of the things that makes me so different to other people who are not transsexual.

What is the opposite of transsexual?... Sexual? For sexual preferences we have heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual. It's odd we don't have the same for GID.

[Natasha Anne]

Gosh I'd hate that to happen to me. It must have been a little upsettting at the very least.

Still, 2 months wait is better than living a lifetime being who you aren't.

Good luck


BTW, as of a few weeks ago I was scheduled for GRS on September 26, but because of a couple of minor health issues that cropped up in August, my surgeon and I agreed to delay my surgical date by about 6 weeks (until early November). It's probably the prudent thing to have done (and I initiated the discussion), but it was also one of the hardest things I've ever agreed to do.

So I'm happy for you about your date, but I must admit I'm a little envious too. Still, 2 months isn't so bad...

[Natasha Anne]

Many people use the terms "transgendered" and "cisgendered" for this purpose.

Of course, many transsexual women do not like the use of the word "transgendered" as an umbrella term which includes them and other types of transgendered people in sort of a broad category, but that's really a separate issue...

I was asking a simpler question.

Let's say a person is a woman trapped in a man's body, and takes steps to correct that. We call that a transsexual.

If a person is in the correct body i.e. a regular guy or girl, what is the term for that? If we're trans (cross) sexual, then what does that make a regular person who is not transsexual or transgendered in any way?

Congrats, hugs, prayers -- you lucky girl.:hugs:

ps Might just steal this for my sig. I think it defines us:

Still, 2 months wait is better than living a lifetime being who you aren't.

Good luck.

"princess" :D Michelle

It's certainly close by, but seems so far away. The time seems to move along so slowly. It's driving me nuts.

I have no choice to wait, but wow... it's just taking for ever.

I'm so excited about all of this I could just scream.

[eleventhdr]

Yes i can understand just what you might be feeling indeed to become and or accomplish something that you really do desire and then achieve it is just one of those very great thing's in this and or any life time

I know because i have just very recently done the veru\y same thing in fact just this last week

But for me it was something very different it kind of involves a lifetime dream just as well but has to do with something very entirely different but the results and feeling's are the same wanting it and then finally get there and getting it done hmmm!

So I can relate. But then what you are doing is yet again what a lot of us still do want as well to become as much a real gg like this wow oh wow would that ever be just great as well

So I to do wish you the very best.

Please do keep us informed on the final results i would amd am very interested in just how it will all come out for you once you have gotten there!

I to wish I could do this myself and then be free like i think you are very soon going to be.

Oh well

Let us all know!
And do not worry and or fret over losing your manhod since having it is something that you never did want in the frist place so to have it d\gone will very problay make little difference except maybe at the very frist but then once you finally do adjust to being how you really should be it will very problay make little diference.

A lot of us girls would like to be able to go there ourselves but are prevented by some means and or other right.

But we are still really girls none the less at least inside we still are and that is why we still do dress outside!

so!

Jay Suzy!

Much more later!

[Stephenie S]

Dear Natasha,

Maybe we can just call you woman?

That works for me.

Lovies and congratulations!!!

Natasha,

Thinking of you this week and wishing you the best.:love:

Best wishes and good luck. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Natasha,

It has been a lifetime of waiting. A lifetime of expectations. A lifetime.

And on Tuesday, you'll start life anew. You will join a very few who will have lived life on both sides. A unique perspective to say the least.

And then you'll be able to write book number 2.

I wish that we would have had time to get to know each other better here in the forum...

But most of all dear, be happy, enjoy your stay. I'll carry a prayer in my heart for you hon on Tuesday. It is a day you will remember for the rest of your life. I remember when I awoke from the surgery, I ran my hand between my legs and for an instant, I wondered what I had done. And then in my post operative haze, I smiled a grin two miles wide and fell back asleep. The pain was nothing compared to the tremendous release I felt.

My best to you. Good luck. Please let us know when you get back and how it went.

Cindi
