I guess just more about the experience. What were interactions with Banks like? How about the staff?

How was pain when you can out of anaesthesia?

Dr Banks is lovely. Very approachable and great bedside manner. He listened to all of my questions and concerns and answered them all. I can't fault him. The staff are also polite and attentive.

The pain has been ok, very well managed. Just a dull ache so far so again I'm really happy

The new situation downstairs. Just feel it, awareness of it, of the new shape, lack of obstructions, any way you choose to describe the newness really!

Even if it is just... "d+×¥huekshiekee#iekndh$eyoskshd%uxen#ixhen!!!"

...I'd have a vague idea of what you meant!

It's kind of hard to explain really. It feels very much like a dull ache right now, and I have a catheter fitted and blood drain. My new vagina is also full of packing. So yeah it's kind of like that right now but psychologically I feel complete. HRT has worked well for me but pre surgery I didn't feel 100% physically female, but now I do. It's wonderful, and I just feel complete as a woman 💕x

Thankyou 🙂 I've been back at the Rattanachol for a couple of weeks now. Everything is going really well. Did you have Bank or Suporn? I was originally scheduled for Suporn but unfortunately he got ill so I went with Bank x

Glad to hear that everything is going well with your recovery. Be patient, thinks do get better, even if they take time. And do not give dilation. And I am glad you went with Bank, he is a great surgeon.

I am a "Supornstar".... I guess I am probably one of the last 20-30 girls he operated on. Sad to hear that he got ill, but glad to know that he is doing better. Both surgeons are equally good, the difference in the result is minimal. I hope they can find/train somebody to take over Dr S's place as now the their schedule is super full.

I have heard great things of Dr. Banks, the girls I befriended had surgery with him. As a matter of fact, I will be returning to Thailand next year for my revision and I am schedule to have it with Dr. Banks... so I guess I will end being a "Supornstar-Bansky" hybrid.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. You can also find me on discord.

Good 4 U SiS, there are, I fear, far too many who fail to perform their due diligence for themselves. I'm on Medicare already and debating to settle for probably 2 best or less here or to squeeze myself financially and follow what you did. May your recovery be painless, swift and to your total amazement and satisfaction. Kindest regards, Moana

OP
Fri Sep 2 12:52:10 2022 UTC

I was definitely struggling. But what swayed me in the end was the lack of Kamols results (I couldn't find any!), the dubious social media marketing of Kamol and the complaints of his results being very much hit and miss. The Suporn clinic on the other hand had a ton of consistency, lots of results and people sharing their good outcomes. I'm sure that I made the right choice. Dr Bank has been amazing 💕 x

Thank you I am also now thinking between Kamol & Bank...
My insurance can cover all of Kamol deal, but if I go to Bank I will have to pay for hotel & some more myself
Also I cannot find any results outside Kamol website, and I see lot of beautiful works of Bank in this subreddit
Will give it bit more thought now, but I have to decide by the next days and get the date set

Thank you, I already checked these quite a lot of times... sadly the Kamol results are still lacking and some posts are really suspicious.
There is no question about Bank amazing work tho, I am trying to convince myself going to Kamol because of the insurance and I originally want PPV.. but for now leaning more toward the sweet aesthetic I see from Dr Bank

You only really get one shot at this so do pick carefully. I've never heard anything but good results from Dr Bank, I would say that he's worth the hospital cost no doubt x

They gave me them to keep. You have to ask though. I think that some surgeons agree and some don't. Mine did.

It's either destroyed with the rest of the medical waste generated or sent to pathology where the tissues/organs are tested. If it's at a university teaching hospital, resident pathologist or other medical students may use the tissue in a training/testing environment. I've received two pathology reports on tissues removed during surgery. It's best to ask the surgeon how the tissue will be handled to know for sure.

Quick question for you. How did they put you under? Was ot GA or did you get an epidural?

OP
Sun Sep 4 01:00:58 2022 UTC

Interesting fact. There are at least two anesthesia doctors working for the Suporn clinic. One offers either a straight general or a lighter general and a epidural combination. The other only offers a straight general. I wanted the lighter general and epidural but I got the anesthesiologist who only offered the general. Having said that he was lovely and I had not ill effects from the anesthetic. But either way you can't just have an epidural on it's own.
