So I guess this is the way it has to be for me.<br /><br />Whatever path you choose from here, I hope it works out just fabulously for you. :)<br /><br />@Suzi LOL!

Seems there are lots of pros and cons I'm unaware of. Lots of reading to do.

That is the se..."Best thing I ever did." That is the second time I've been told that. <br /><br />My reasons are much the same as yours. I'm not sure when or if I'll be able to afford my GRS, and I don't want to have to take spironolactone very long. I don't like the idea that my body is still producing testosterone and I'm just relying on something to partially block it. And all the weird stuff with keeping less sodium than normal, and more potassium, and having such a hard time staying hydrated, it just seems like it has to be a lot of work for the kidneys. Plus all these meds are rough on the liver anyway.<br /><br />"...but there are things you can do to keep things stretched!" That is totally new to me, and sounds really promising. I guess I should start researching! This was the one thing that was worrying me. <br /><br /><br />I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to do this as soon as I possibly can and I'm so excited about it. I can hardly wait until April 1, when I get to talk to my counselor about it all. <br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting. I'm more excited than ever. =)ms.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804709919987506302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-56904664172092467402010-04-08T19:44:00.410-04:002010-04-08T19:44:00.410-04:00A lot of (desirable) surgeons will not perform SRS...A lot of (desirable) surgeons will not perform SRS on you if you have had an orchi done.

I managed it before getting hormones so got hot flushes but still it was worth it. The body hair reduced fairly quickly so hold back spending a fortune on other areas until you have decided. You will probably be told that there could be shrinkage of material needed for GRS but there are things you can do to keep things stretched!<br /><br />I feared the side effects of long term anti-androgens so that is why I chose to do it, thought I may never manage to go further.<br /><br />Caroline xxxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.com
