r/ftm_phallo

Hi team Ive just had my first consult at C&W for phalloplasty and I was horrified.

The surgeon didn’t seem to know what she was talking about. She got basic facts wrong. She told me it was 2 nights in hospital post stage 1. I queried it and she said she was definitely right. NVH has 5 nights in hospital minimum, and they do less in stage 1. I asked about the complication rates, she said they “didn’t really matter”, but that there was a 60% complication rate with stage 1 that would require further surgery. She told me she didn’t really believe that nerve hook up works, but that she’d “try it anyway”. I started getting suspicious after all this, so I asked what her experience was.

She told me she had not done phalloplasty before and neither had the other surgeon on the team. She told me she had only observed phalloplasty over the past few years.

How is the NHS allowing these people to do phallo? Im trying to switch to NVH now because theres no way I am trusting her. Given that the NVH wait list isn’t as long as it has been in the past once you get your referral accepted, I regret my decision to switch massively.

what does sex feel like after phallo? would love to hear from guys at several different stages after surgery! during, one month post, one year post, ten years post, etc.

Hello. I was wondering if there are someone who has had a phallo surgery with dr Miroslav Djordjevic
In Serbia?

I live in Michigan and have private insurance through an employer. It seems that the only in network surgeon that does ftm surgeries here is Hadj-Moussa, but I’ve heard Kuzon is the only one that does phallo. My insurance company is zero help. I asked for providers and they just gave me a be list of urologists in Michigan.

Is it true Kuzon is the only option here? He’s not in network for me. Does anyone else have Anthem/bcbs and know anyone that is in network?? Leaving the state will be very very difficult (if not impossible) logistically. Am I out of luck?!
