    My FFS Surgery!

    The time I've been waiting for so long is finally here!

    I leave early tomorrow morning to have Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) with Dr. Lázaro Cárdenas in Gudalajara Mexico. I fly down tomorrow and should have surgery on Tuesday sometime. I will stay in the recovery house and fly home on Oct 12th, I will go full time as Pam when I return.

    It seems like it has been a long time since I started this journey but in reality it has been a pretty short time compared to others who have transitioned.

    I filed for my legal name change this last week and have a court date about 1 1/2 weeks after I return from FFS surgery. Hopefully I will walk out with a court order to change my name to my true self.

    I know there will be more trials in the journey forward but I'm looking forward to living my life as me.

    I will post some updates and pictures as I can and try to keep everyone updated on my recovery and progress. It really helped me out when Melissa (badtranny) did this so I'm going to try and do the same and pay it forward. No matter how gruesome it is. lol

    I have learned so much here in the last year or so and thank you all for sharing and helping those of us who are becoming who we have always truly been.

    Thanks for your support everyone!

    Good luck on your journey and with the upcoming surgeries. I will enjoy reading about your recovery process and then your transition to full time. Hopefully, you will not scare that judge too much so soon after your FFS.

    All the best, Pam. This is a milestone. May you be happily astonished at the look your surgeon brings out.

    Happy dance!

    Are you going to give us some reports as to how things are going while you're there?
    I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back keep me here to wait for me so I don't go back out and miss myself when I return.

    I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.

    As some wise person said, "It ain't braggin' if you've done it!"

    I hope things go well at your hearing, don't know if it is a formality or a barrier where you live. Regardless, it's another step forward!

    Keep us informed!
