Dr Suporn Chonburi, Thailand
For those who are wondering how my journey is...
Dr Suporn / And his staff are so much welcoming and nice they are here 24hrs a day whenever you need them. They also take u to his private beach house once a week to visit to have a bit of RNR with all the girls going along with the journey with you, and also create new friendships while your at the beach house u also get free Thai massages. I say amazing and well money spent.
I would have thought yes I'm mentally ready, and I can physically and finally get my [RS bleep], I was wrong. There is so much struggle, depression, and you begin to question your journey but that all subsides because in the end I knew what I wanted and it's going to be a lo journey until I'm finally free of the pain and struggle. But I can say this journey is one that's most definitely worthed to fulfilling my final transition.

Welcome to the community. :) I am thrilled that you are sharing your journey here on RealSelf.

For those of you wondering on how my SRS transition is going so far here in Thailand with Dr Suporn, well let's just say it's been a bumpy roller coaster ride. So I'm off home back to my little villa abode in Greece in 5 days but I also have a 2 day layover in Dubai for shopping and spoiled treatment for going through some crazy madness the past week.
So all last week I felt like wonder women walking around thinking I can do everything and anything, and one thing Dr Suporn told me was to rest lay down and don't bother my new equipment downstairs. So on Thursday I went to the mall and came back to the hotel sat down and had dinner, and about 10 minutes after dinner I felt a pop sensation and felt like I was peeing and I felt my pad filling up so I touch myself down there to find blood. So I immediately took my cousin upstairs, laid down pads down on my bed, and immediately stayed calmed applied pressure as they say if anything happens until the nurse comes.
So I was admitted into the ER Thursday evening last week for this issue and unfortunately Dr Suporn was away on vacay, so I had another plastic surgeon who came to examine the issue, and it came down to going into the operating room to suture the ruptured wound that guested open. So I was mentally, emotionally keep my mindset strong and not focusing on how much blood I was losing, until the doctor was trying to touch me open without any anesthesia and thats when it hit me that what was happening but kept strong to stop my body to hyperventilating.
Long story short I sat too long and it bothered a stitched wound which in glad happened here and not at home cause I would've probably died in Greece. But now I'm good and ready to leave in 5 days and now hopefully everything is good down there which Dr Suporn Checked when he came back Monday. Thanks for your time reading and hope this doesn't make you decide not to get srs but remind you what can happen if you don't listen to your body and doctor.

4 Months Post Op
Dr Suporn is a wonderful surgeon and being under his care has exceeded my expectations from any surgeons anywhere. His post op care and team are amazing and are there for you 24hrs a day during your stay.
No more complications, no more pain while dilating, just experiencing a lot of tightness which is completely normal until 5 1/2 post op. I have a little issue not too big of a deal with extra urethral tissue which is part of swelling but will go away within the 6 month mark.
I can say I'm very happy with the surgery out come and can't wait till after a year of swelling has gone down ????

I'm speechless...your results are incredible!! Thank you for coming back to update, and please continue to do so as you progress through your journey.

It looks like you will have a great result, you may need to go back to see Dr Suporn after 12 months to remove some of the excess urethral tissue, if it bothers you when you are in a state of arousal. The incisions and swelling will dissipate and improve with the tincture of time.
Scar contraction is a pain I remember it well. Just keep on dilating through it. It helps to dissipate any scar tissue.
