TINAS TRANSGENDER WORLD

Well tuesday the day of my consultation was hear and right on the dot the driver arrived to pick up Peta and myself to take us to Dr Chettawuts clinic ,and we arrived there in no time and parked on the forecourt just infront of the clinic .

As i stepped out the car my heart was raceing with excitement and my eyes headed towards that front door to the clinic and streight way memeries of the previous year came flooding back .

Once inside there was a barrage of greetings and smiles and hugs from Dr Chettawut ,Tair ,and the rest of the staff there ,it made me feel right back at home with very comfy .

After just a few minets Dr Chettawut came out again from his office and asked who was going to go first Peta or myself ,and we decided it would be myself to go in first .

Once in Dr Chettawuts office we sat down and started to chat about the proposed procedures that would take place this comeing wednesday .

We started with the forehead and went throught each part of my face step by step in great detail ,and Dr Chettawut explained that with the hairline evan though we had planned not to toutch it he felt that it was in prity good shape already but he could make an improvement to this ,so i said ill go with what you think .

The jaw was a part of the face i was perticulaly interested in makeing an improvement on and stressed this point ,and Dr Chettawut said he would need to get a better idea from the x-rays when done just how much could be shaved off from the mandular jaw angle reduction proceedure ,but also stated that he wanted to put a titanium plate in my chin at the bottom so it would add to the affect of the jaw angle reduction , again not a proceedure that was planned ,but i felt happy to go along with his expert opinian ..

We must have spent the best part of 45 minets talking about all the diferant areas and what might be acheeved and while in his office he took photos of my other areas of my body wear he had done operations in the previous two years for his records ,because with patiants he doesant always get chance to get comparison photos so far down the line unless sent in by patiants on e mails to him .

While there i took the opertunity to mention that with my srs i felt that there was alot of extra skin on the outer labia and that was in my opinian unhygenic and also the lips either side seemed unevan .           Dr Chettawut asked me to follow him upstairs to his little operating theatre and i already knew it was a shoes off job before mounting the stairs and i slipped on the pair of flip flops provided by the clinic and headed up to the little changing room /booth just to the left before you get to his operating room .

With my clothes hung up and a robe slipped on inside the changing room ,i poked my head out and Mr June pointed the way the the end room and asked me to lay on the couch /bed with my legs up in the stirrups and Dr Chettawut came in and incerted a tool inside me and checked me out all around the neo vagina and asked me about the depth i could acheeve ,and i replied i had lost just a very little but i was still very happy with the depth i could acheeve ,and i mentiomned the skin on the outer labia ,and he also looked and agreed that it looked slightly unevan and there was alot of spare skin and he explained that it could be delt with very easely , that pleased me has i felt all that extra skin was trapping moisteir and this was un hygenic and it prompted me to wear a panty pad to deal with this .

Im sure he knew what i ment anyway ,and Dr Chettawut said ok Tina i get you collected tomorrow with my driver and he bring you to my clinic and ill do a revision on your srs , i smiled and said thank you so much ,and one last thing Dr Chettawut mentioned was my ffs day ,he said because i know its going to be a massive session of surgery i want to put this back to thursday from wednesday because i want to get you x rayed and preped up very early so i have the full day to work on your face ,and one last point he mentioned was the fact that it will mean many hours under anistetic and he would need to put me probably in intensive care to make sure i pull through ok after the surgery .

Iheaded back down stairs and waited for peta now to have her consultation for her breast surgery and after a short while and alot more hugs and photos we got back in the car and headed for the baan siri .

Wednesday The 25th of April .

(Revision Day )

Right on time as i was told the black camrey rolled up at the siri and after just a short ride i was there at dr chettawuts clinic ,and after the normal geetings i was shown upto the changing room up the stairs and asked to put a robe on and then led into the little operating theatre at the back .

Mr June positioned me on the bed with my legs up in the stirrups and proceeded to swob me down and disinfect the area to be worked on ,and positined the mat over my bottom end with the hole in it just between my legs so it blanked out all the rest of me .

The operation was going to be done just under a general anistetic so i would be awake while dr chettawut worked on me , once everything was in place dr chettawut entered the room and stuck a needle in my lower region on the right side of my outer labia and explained that if i felt any pain at all ,i must say so imediatly ,and when on to explain that he would make two insisions and they would be maby about 2.1/2 -3 " long and would remove a section of skin and sow me up again .

The first side took about 30 minets to do ,and after the needle was put in the left side and the same proceedure followed ,all this time at the side of me was one of chets girls gently sqeezing my hand and i must say it helped alot because i was laying there with a blind fold on and i could feel the wall mounted air conditioning unit blowing cool fresh air above me .

The time passed quickly and dr chettawut chatted and talked with mr june as he assisted him with the surgery ,and i cut smell the skin being quaterised by the tool he used to stop the bleeding and seal the incision , and before i knew it ,it was over ,and dr chettawut passed me a hand mirror and asked me to take a look ,witch i did ,and then he proceeded to put a pressure bandage stuck over the wound area and said that it was ok to pee through it as it would be taken off in just a day or so .

Ithanked dr chettawut and told him i was so pleased he could perform this revision and he smiled at me and said Tina is my pleasure ,no problem at all .

Iwas led back to the changing room and i put my clothes back on and made my way back down stairs ,with a very big smile on my face ,and after a are you ok ,from tair ,i nodded yes thank you ., i was given a cold drink and dr chettawut came up and said i pick you up early tomorrow its gonna be a big day ,and after a smile and a hug ,i left the clinic reception and got back in the car waiting outside ,so that had sorted the revision on my srs ,and i was more than pleased i had mentioned this matter to dr chettawut ,because now it was done and dusted ,just the ffs to deal with now ,and after a short car ride the baan siri was hear and the driver dropped me off outside .

F.F.S Day ( The 26th Of April )

Well the big day had finally arived ,it was the 26th of april 2007and this was a day a few months back i wasant evan shore i would be able to do .

I didant pack any small case this time ,and decided to take no belongings with me only my handbag with my camera and a few small personal items in my handbag .

Right on time as planned the driver arrived on time ,and i took a deep sigh and climbed into the camrey and as we headed out of the Baan Siri on that beautiful bangkok morning my thoughts were ,well ok its crunch time in a few hours itl all be over and ill complete the last part of three years worth of surgery .

As i sat in the back seat of the car on my own ,i just sorta peered out the car window and in a sort of sentimntal haze many thoughts passed through my mind ,and my mind kept switching back and forth between these thoughts and the views out the car window and the sun that i kept catching a fleeting sight of between the massive tall buildings that graced my route .

I knew this was going to be a massive crucial day for me ,and as i sat there waiting to catch a glimse of the Piyavate ,my eyes were almost trying to fill with tiny tears ,and i fought my emotions as hard as i could and tried to stop the tears ,yep i was alone 6.250 miles from my family and today was gonna be a day that would forever change my apperance for the rest of my life .

After a short run ,there it was the towering outline of this amazing hospital ,the place they call the centre of excellance ,the Piyavate .

I sat down at the desk and started on the left with the girls ,and was asked to produce my passport ,with i did ,and they put all my details on computer ,and i was asked to move to the next desk on the right ,and evantually after all the paperwork had been done i was issued with a plastic id card with my name and number on with the Piyavate on it ,apparently this can be carried anywear inn thailand and if you have a medical problem you can produce it .

Iwas then led over to the middle of the main reception /waiting area , and the smiles kept coming over from a group of staff stood at another desk in the middle of the room

After i had been sitting there for just a few minets ,another young lady came over and escorted me to another area wear they did the x-rays and after a short while in the waiting area i was taken to the x-ray room and several shots were taken of my head from differant angles .

Then it was off to another room to get changed and check all my belongings in and the young lady sat there with a clip board makeing a list of what was in my handbag ,when they got to my lucky maskot tigeress they all smiled alot ,and added it on the list along with my camera and other bits .

The next thing i knew i was on my way to the operating theatre ,down the corridors and a lift journey and there it was a 21st century facility all decked out with amazing modern equipment and so clean you could eat you dinner of the floor .

Ok i was nerviouse ,i cant say i wasant ,but i knew what was in store for me ,but i did my very best to just stay calm and relax .

After i arrived there ,Nut showed up and started to braid my hair ,a proceedure they do to bunch it up to get it away from your face for the surgery ,and i remember laying there and feeling her doing it for me .

Very quickly the anethatist ,the guy dr chet had told me about ,and in his words a real joker was at the side of me sticking a line in me ,and after a few fleeting moments and a few words from him i was in ablivian ,totally gone .
