    @Bethw49 - never give up hope, honey. The world is changing for the better for us, and the options for surgery are improving. I never thought I'd get to this point two years ago when I joined the forum and realized I desperately needed to transition. I was pretty unsure that I'd make it through 2013, to be honest. When I started, my employer did NOT cover trans related medicine. I started working at the company 15 years ago, there was no indication that they'd be trans friendly at all. So I'm very lucky - but the thing is, luck is going to be a decreasing part of our treatment. The Department of HHS is proposing rules that would eliminate the blanket bans on treatment for us that insurance companies routinely have in place now.

    @Badtranny - I'll call you up! I'd love to visit. My sister is with me, you'll like her too.

    That is a very good thing. Here in California those bans were lifted for all but "company self-insured plans" (companies that administer their own health coverage) nearly a decade ago. Still, educating everyone about it is a continuing problem. Some lower level practitioners still aren't aware that this care is mandated. Mimi actually had her FP doctor tell her "oh no, we don't provide *that* sort of thing" when she asked about TG care. OTOH, my new GP knew all about it and enthusiastically made the referrals I needed and my endo is equally helpful. On my plan, bottom surgery is fully covered but top surgery is not unless the patient can demonstrate a "psychological need." I guess they want to keep transwomen flat-chested.

    Paula, I'm so glad that things are going well for you. If you're taking the scenic route back to TX stop off in LA and we'd love to entertain you!

    When you said you were in SF, I didn't quite make the connection until I saw this post. Congrats and I hope it all goes well; you're off to a great start and you look so happy!

    Congratulations, Paula, and I'm glad things are going well so far!

    Your short OP is one of the more compelling SRS stories I've read to-date. Very personal but not TMI at all. Thank you.

    I just realized that you took the time to message me on the night before... To ask about me, to care, on the eve something so intimate.

    You really are the best person I "know", and I wish you the speediest of recoveries and all the best. You're amazing, and inspiring. Congratulations.

    Congratulations and speedy recovery. Remember that Rome was not built in a day nor will your recovery. Pace yourself and listen to your body. Understand your pain and work with it to accomplish your goals. BTW Happy Birthday to your new V jay!!
