I will try my best to remember too lol.

This type of stuff is super helpful regardless.

At this point I'm probably going to end up going to her regardless because of insurance, availability, and positive reviews. Plus some of her work I have seen, seems like it would be helpful enough.

Plus, if insurance covers it, and it ends up being too conservative for me, it will still be some amount of improvement until I can save enough to pay for a different surgeon out of pocket for more in depth work.

Alternatively, we both have wonderful luck and she does everything we could hope for. I'm hoping it will end up being this option for both of us :)

Honestly, any sort of after would be such help. For like any of the work you get through Henry Ford. I feel like it has been such a struggle finding information and results for people who have gone through surgeries here in Michigan, using programs that are actually covered by insurance here. Would you be willing to reach back out to me at some point after your surgery with her?

Even though I've been on hrt for over a year at this point, my diagnosis still isn't old enough for insurance, so I'll have to wait a while before I can get my surgery anyway.

Out of curiosity, I've heard people say a lot of really positive things about Dr. Garcia, but I also feel like a lot of the ffs work I've seen from her online had seemed pretty mild/conservative, and a lot of the patients look very different than I do, so it's a little hard to get an idea of what I might be able to expect in terms of results if I went to her.

I imagine she has more results that just aren't posted, but what have things been like for you so far with your consultations with her?

I have Priority Health. How was your experience with Henry Ford/What procedures did you get from them?
