I have a vegan roommate since yesterday and apparently it's not good.. the kitchen is prepared for that and trying to, but somehow it doesn't arrive up here??

The food is quite ok, better than the usual cliche of hospital food - but there's no vegan options on the menu at least, maybe something is possible when asking them but I don't know

You get what you get - but you get so see pictures of previous results they had before, but things also just depend on how you heal, how much skin is available and co

You can choose if you want full depth or none though

Thanks :)

It's a bit early to tell for myself, since I'm not doing that yet - however my girlfriend had this done beginning of this year as well and I often hear her complain about having to dilate - which seems to be as much ADHD-meh (forgotten all day, remembered just before sleeping, sometimes very dull) and in the beginning sometimes a bit painful.

There's also the possibility of not having any depth tho, in which case it shouldn't be needed .. maybe that's an option for you, that you didn't know yet?

Thanks :)

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..)

Yes am German ^^

I was in therapy and all for quite some time already, so I made the appointment for the first consultation in Munich, which was like three months out, and used that time to get all the indication letters to bring them there already.

This was a time saving measure, you don't need them for that first appointment.

You leave that first appointment with some paperwork you need for filing for the costs with your health insurance, so that happens afterwards - you will also need the indication letters for that.

After the health insurance gives their go, the hospital also needs the indication letters for the second appointment there, which is shortly before the surgery - you get that and the surgery appointment together.

Surgery went fine on 2024-09-20 in Munich Bogenhausen, I'm recovering well and everything looks fine so far :)

Feel free to ask any questions :3

Edit: I would like to know why someone down voted this tho

Yep, really pointless and am really glad as well

11 months from first talks about surgery at the hospital to actual surgery, all the health insurance fighting in between.. was well-prepared already and had documents from psychiatrist, therapist and gyn (overseeing my HRT) already ready at that first appointment ^^

And yea, will definitely do and will be cared for by my gf who's gone through that already as well (though in Helsinki and not in Munich)

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
