Tue, April 15, 2008 - 2:15 PMJt... did you try the links I sent you? I think you would find more folks who've had the surgery on those sites.
groups.yahoo.com/group/ftmsurgeryinfo/
and
www.transster.com/ -

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 1:28 AMI went on transster and its mainly pics,very few of the guys give thier email addy. Especially considering that im only wanting to speak to guys who had the radial forearm done. I put a posting up on the yahoo group yet for some reason it never appeared. Is this a topic people dont want to talk about or is this just the wrong place. I mean why is it so hard. This is the only time ive found it so hard to find people to talk. Why? -

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 1:51 AMI wish I could help, but I don't know anybody who's had that surgery.
I thought transster also had a section with detailed descriptions of the surgeries. But perhaps you only want personal experiences.
I would try reposting on the Yahoo FTM Surgeries group, as well as doing a search on that site for "radial forearm" in order to find postings on that topic.
Good luck, don't give up, keep checking back here, and please keep us posted on how things are going. -

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 5:07 AMTransster does have descriptions of most of the surgeries. For the radial forearm they reffer you to Hudsons guide and there you can get a better description. Ive done all the reading up that i can do. Because im getting it done by a goverment hosp i still need to speak to my surgoen about all the small aspects. So ya im mainly looking for personal expierances. Coz the trans community in sa is so small i have only managed to find one guy who had it done. Most guys dont seem to want to talk about it. I wish i had known about this site when i started my transition. Oh well. Thanx alot hey. And ya ill keep you all posted. Thanx again.

Thu, April 17, 2008 - 7:59 AMHey JT,
I don't know anybody personally who has done it but wanted to send some well wishes your way. Is there any way you can postpone the surgery date until you get more info and contact with folks who have actually done it? If you're in panic (and I can understand why), it seems like more time and information might help.
warmly,
Avi

Thu, April 17, 2008 - 1:27 PMHey,thanx for your well wishes. Ive actually got plenty of time to find guys who have had it done as my surgery is only in November. Its a goverment hospital so that was the earliest date i could get. I have an appt in May to see the surgoen so ill ask him all the finer details and ill get to see some pictures of thier results. I mite also feel calmer after ive spoken to the doc. Will keep you posted and thanx again.
