Can any UK Girls help me please

[Rachel_740]

Hi Girls,

I was chatting with one of the guys at work yesterday and he was telling me that (probably) last week he was flicking through the channels on the tele and on sky travel (on freeview) he came across an article on a TG girl who had chosen to have her operation in Thailand (a course I've decided not to take - I'm staying in the UK for mine).

I would be interested in seeing this program if it is going to be re-screened. My question is did anyone out there see the program I'm talking about and can tell me what the program was and/or what day and time it was shown?

Sorry Anne

I didn't see the orginal showing of this programe, however most Sky channels repeat programes many times so if you may be lucky and see it.

Good luck with your operation whenever you have it

:)

Thais plan first live sex change operation

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai surgeons will perform the world's first live sex change operation on Friday in an attempt to boost the country's booming cosmetic surgery industry.

Doctors from the Preecha Aesthetic Institute and BNH Hospital in Bangkok will perform the operation on a man with 35 of the world's leading "sex reassignment" surgeons looking on.

"We want to show the world that our standards of treatment are comparable to the international level. That is why we have invited world-renowned surgeons from Europe," said Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon, who is heading the surgical team.

The doctors are expected to demonstrate pioneering techniques in sex reassignment surgery during the three-hour operation with the foreign doctors watching on video monitors.

Sex change surgery is already a multi-million dollar industry in Thailand, which is competing against hospitals in places such as Singapore for foreign patients who flock to modern posh establishments.

Preecha, considered the godfather of Thailand's cosmetic surgery business, said he performs sex change operations on between three and five patients a week.

After more than 25 years in the industry, he says demand for his services is increasing.

"Thailand is the most popular destination for cosmetic surgery because, one, it's cheap and two, our hospitals are better than most hospitals overseas," he said.

Preecha said he pursued the field of sex change surgery in the mid-1970s after witnessing the gruesome outcomes of botched operations.

The craft has been tuned so finely in Thailand that the majority of Preecha's patients are from the United States, where sky-rocketing insurance and the threat of lawsuits have contributed to spiralling medical costs.

Sherri-Ann Higgins, a married 56-year-old grandfather from Pittsburgh, is one of Preecha's latest success stories after undergoing a $7,500 sex change operation last week.

It restored her sanity after a lifetime of depression, she said.

"I wanted my body to match my brain. I've known I was a woman since I was four years old, but I always tried to hide it. I became too depressed in later life but this process has helped me to be quite happy now," Higgins told Reuters.
