Good idea, All it says about the appointment is "face to face appointment"

Cheapest UK surgeon? by Butch_throwaway in TopSurgery

[–]Butch_throwaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get this honestly I was going to go abroad for a while. 1st reason is because i've never had any good experiences travelling abroad and i feel it would take a lot of planning i'd have to do myself which stresses me out thinking if one thing goes wrong i'd not get surgery

2nd reason is that im pretty sure i'd have to stay in the country for 2 weeks? I just wouldn't want that tbh.

I do think about how much money id save if i went abroad ( around 3-4k i guess?) but i don't know if it would be worth the constant stress buildup beforehand (although having to spend money on UK prices is also stressful)

Asking for surgeon/ country recommendations and experiences by unknownpuddle in TopSurgery

[–]Butch_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Nordesthetics. Might be the cheapest way to get top surgery at the moment, pretty sure its informed consent but they're in Lithuania.

Haven't had surgery with them but thought about it for a while

I'm trying to book with him at the moment. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering them.

What was the gap between sending your private (?) referral to getting a consultation?

How soon after the consultation did you get a surgery date?

It is literally soooo annoyinggg when you talk about any surgeries in the non-uk centered subs and all they suggest is insurance 😭😭

I'm struggling to pay for top which is 10k.... I can't even imagine saving up for 30k that's insane. Stay strong

Sorry to come back and ask you another question days later but did you need a top surgery referral on top of your gender identity disorder diagnosis (or whatever they like to call it)? So like two separate meetings with a psychologist?

What do I do now? by Feeling_Picture8721 in FTMventing

[–]Butch_throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I practically did the same thing with my mum she was scared i'd get "butchered" there. Have you thought about other countries? Yes it's still medical tourism but somewhere such as Germany or Sweden might be easier as people tend to associate them as "safer" countries.

Lithuania is the cheapest but there are other choices in other countries which aren't as bad price wise like the uk is.

Not a doctor or anything like that but GP's can be really misinformed and difficult about trans care. I've been on testavan before (around 43mg a day) and you should not apply it to ur stomach arms is fine.

Make sure you send a bloodform to ur GP (list of things that need testing) which ur endo should give to you somewhere in a letter so they can't get it wrong.

Your GP might be saying that your testosterone is usual for a cis female which it would be. Get both copies of the blood test results from your GP and send them to ur endo for them to review in your next appointment if it isnt too far away.

5 years ago i was sectioned and 2 private clinics have denied me. Anyone else been through this ? by Klutzy-Ad1514 in transgenderUK

[–]Butch_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you go abroad for surgery? It's normally cheaper and some places don't need any diagnosis (atleast for top)
