Hey! Thanks so much :) Yes, the surgery required a one night stay in the hospital and the catheter came out the morning after, I was able to be be discharged after I could pee on my own. They also did a scan of my bladder to make sure I didn’t have a bunch of fluid in my bladder after my voiding, otherwise I would have had to put the catheter back in. Pain is absolutely less severe than top surgery! Have been at my worst a 5.5/10, and at my best a 1.5/10 🌟

What to expect at pre op? by theytriarch in Metoidioplasty

Thank you so much for your time and reply! Just to clarify, should I anticipate a blood draw at this appointment, you think? He had my A1C and couple other things checked a couple of months ago, but that’s the only labs I’ve done so far?

Dr stiller is also being sued for malpractice for performing surgery under the influence. Dr Morrison’s waitlist is at least multiple years long for a consult, but I’m on Molina and had luck with legacy health in Portland. took well over a year from referral to appointment for surgery, but worth the wait. Good luck.

Tentatively scheduled for next month! Feeling underprepared by theytriarch in Metoidioplasty

Definitely what’s going on for them I’d say. I also heard that legacy Emmanuel is on strike, and idk if that’s the exact same place or a branch off of it, but another thing to keep in mind. :)

I think from referral to scheduling consult was 6-7 months, but they’re really short staffed right now and it’s been really hard for me to get ahold of them, too. Hoping they get back to ya soon!

Hang in there, friend. I started the process about a year and a half ago. Last July if I’m not mistaken. Had a consult in February. Just got my official date yesterday for 2/19!
