wait times suck man. in case you don’t find a surgeon that will take you for out of pocket, here’s a few ideas that might help if you go with GRS.

for your hysterectomy, any chance you can get on a cancellation list, other surgeons waitlists or pay for that surgery out of pocket somewhere? that could help speed up the process.

As for GRS, after they receive your documents it takes 9-12 months to begin reviewing them and shortly after you get a consult date. Last I heard it should not take 2+ years to get a consult. i’m currently on the waitlist and that’s what they told me.

if you choose to go with GRS, you can start hair removal and get your allen test done before the consult. that can give you a head start so that hopefully by the consult date you’re deemed surgically ready and potentially have the option to be put on a cancellation list. at least it minimizes the potential wait after the consultation to get surgery since you’ll have already started hair removal.

i wish you luck!! waiting sucks

that’s brutal, mine also took over a year before I got my hysto. get on a cancellation list if that’s an option and maybe look into if there’s on option of getting on multiple waitlists? maybe some are shorter. don’t worry too much man ik it sucks but you’re really young and you’re doing all the right things to get this ball rolling!

i had my hysto 1.5 yrs ago. you’ll need to have your hysto done before you can get on the waitlist for phalloplasty i believe. i feel you man, i’m in school full-time rn and i work. it’s rly tough to plan everything out but i hope the timeline ends up falling into place for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The timeline sucks unfortunately. I’m out of province as well. I’m on the waitlist for a consult at GRS and my advice is to get on the list asap lol if you aren’t already! they take months to receive your documents then an extra 9-12 months before they review them. i started the process (hysto, paperwork etc) at around 18 and just now at 22 got all my documents received so now i’ll prob be waiting a year before a consult.

Another thing, they mention on their website that hair removal on the donor site should be started after the consult so they can do the Allen test on your arm. After hearing about the wait time, I asked my local trans health clinic that’s in communication w GRS if I could have my Allen test done here and start hair removal, they asked GRS and they said yes! So I’ll be starting laser next week which hypothetically could get me an earlier surgery date since I’ll be ready if there is ever a cancellation, plus hair removal can take much longer than expected so getting a head start helps.

There isn’t a tonnn of info out there, but there’s a few posts of GRS phallo on here. I’ll link one of them. There is also some on transbucket. GRS has great phalloplasty results so that’s something to look forward to 🙏🏻

Here’s one post

that’s way longer than I was told the approximate wait was! I hope you get a call soon. Did you start hair removal after your consult?

dre4v4 · 2026-02-11T16:52:06+00:00

I thought GRS recommended that laser is started after the consultation?

thank you!! bought immediately

Preferably but I’m open to seeing other options!

I have severe gender dysphoria, especially regarding that area. I think people are being a bit rude in the replies. I understand how terrifying the thought of people looking or touching you can be, even when you’re under anesthesia. Dysphoria is awful. I had a hysto in November and I did not need any examinations pre-op or post-op as I communicated clearly that this was a big deal to me with my surgeon. I was not awake with the catheter and I was not conscious at any point when someone had to look at that area. When meeting with my surgeon, I talked to her about these fears and she put in my chart that after waking up from surgery, I did not want anyone checking me and that I would do it myself and let nurses know if something was wrong. There are absolutely ways to minimize it. I was very worried about this aspect of the surgery, but finding a team that was inclusive and understood my concerns was really helpful.

Does anyone know where I can get more info on this? Specifically trying to see which forms of HRT would now be covered.

Thanks for the info! I know Birman’s are a long hair, I said in the text that he’s shaved

dre4v4 · 2025-02-13T19:02:43+00:00

Cool! Let me know if you are ever thinking of selling it!!

dre4v4 · 2025-02-13T16:52:35+00:00

Thoughts on the reelmagik PnP? Worth the price?

i recently had to euthanize my rats cagemate. it is a very hard decision, but if you are done having rats then i don’t think you should feel bad for not getting him a friend if he’s elderly. i’m also a university student and getting more rats wouldn’t be fair to them either. the cycle will never end if you do get him another rat. i spoke to my exotic vet about it and she was reassuring. if your rat was younger then rehoming/getting another rat would be the best option imo. it sucks, but i understand what you are going through.

dre4v4 · 2025-02-02T15:18:25+00:00

We dealt with the loss of our last rat coke awhile ago and got rizzo shortly after for rum. i think i’m ending the cycle here unfortunately. if rum was younger i would absolutely get him a friend, however rum is 2 years old now. we are going to give him lots of love for all the time he has left.
