After fighting with health insurance for nearly a year, I suddenly have a surgery date in less than two months and just … Aaaaaaaaaaa o.o
I’m so nervous x.x
It does match nicely with my other plans tho - like moving to Finland in roughly half a year … but I completely didn’t expect it to work out this nicely. Even boss was like, after some “can we manage to release those features before?” (I’m a tech lead and service owner at an IT hosting company), “say yes to that proposed appointment, we’ll make it work”
I still can’t quite believe it o.o my downstairs has an expiration date o.o
I’m out since July 2018, on HRT since April 2019 and had my first appointment for GRS in late October 2023 - even tho there where some unnecessary delays, it worked out way faster than expected. Am German btw, AOK plus. They wanted a chromosome test which was the longest step since the lab was fucking slow.
Big surgery scary tho x.x
Sorry, just had to vent that somewhere

I got my date because I was on a short notice list. I was given 15 days to prepare. What a nightmare that was!
Just know that no matter how hard it gets during recovery, a year later you’re going to be feeling wonderful and normal.
This will not solve everything, but damn life is easier without bottom dysphoria.
Oof just fifteen days, that’s rough ^^`

Congratz!
What is the chromosome test for?
Health insurance wanted to be extra sure I’m not inter, in which case they might not have had to pay
Even the genetics doc (a quite old guy) was somewhat pissed about that requirement “that wouldn’t change anything…” ^^`
