Sure you can do it! Pop over to the local Veterinarian supply, and pick up some horse tranquilizer, good tin snips, some duct tape,alcohol, (3 rolls, at least!), some Cheez Nips, and a case of Coke and a bottle of Jack.\nStep by step:\n1.Have wifey duct tape you to the dining room table.\nInject tranquilizer, and cleanse area with alcohol.\nWifey takes a swig of Jack. Chase it with a few sips of Coke.\n2.Using sterilized snips, cut off manly appendages. Dispose,(pets love these if you boil them a bit), and fold excess saque skin inward. Duct tape.\n3.If hubby wakes up, at this point, hit him on the head with bottle of Jack. Have 3 more swigs of Jack, one of Coke. Proceed.\n4.Pour liberal amounts of alcohol on freshly made Hoo-Hoo, (formerly known as mr.smartypants), more swigs of Jack. More alcohol. Using a hair dryer, aim at area and dry off.(towels would be excruciating at this point).\n5.Move groggy patient (victim?) into bed, fall into bed next to him/her with 1/4 bottle of Jack clutched tightly in your hands. If patient awakens during the night, give him/her the rest of Jack.\n6.Next day, clean up surgical area,(bloody, duct taped table mess). Pop over to the liquor store for a case of Jack.\n7. Continue to keep patient ansethetized with Jack for 3 to 4 days, until incisions have time to close in, forming a slitted appearance.\n8. By next weekend, you girls should be out shopping for your new wardrobe, and sipping Manhattens at the local pub!\nCAUTION: Do not take your wifey's pills, this will only make your boobs enlarged, and do nothing for the south end.\nP.S. Note bottle of Jack in piccy of me, Dr. Zaius.

Is there no way at all to come up with the money for the ceramic or metal hips?  You're only 33, and your plastic hips will need to be replaced not just once but probably twice.  I'm sorry to sound a negative note, I just wonder if you have a church community or equity in your house or any way to raise more funds.\n\nAnd as hard as it would be, you could even create a website, set up a Pay Pal account, and ask people to charge 10 cents on their credit cards and deposit to your account.  I feel bad suggesting this, actually, but it's an option.\n\nOK, on the bright side - the surgery itself WILL go fine!  My grandfather and mother both had it (guess I will one day too), and you'll not be in pain for at least the next several years!\n\nJust pay attention to your physical therapist and do the exercises you need to.  If you are overweight, take this as the start of your NEW NUTRITIONAL LIFE and make the changes you need to make - there's lots of support out there for that.\n\nGood luck!

my Mom just had this done.  It costs about $300 per session... but it takes probably about 3 times.  it didn't work the first time she went but after the 2nd, she saw a difference.  She had them pretty bad also.. so it depends on the person.\n\nShe said that it hurt for about a day or 2, just mild pain.  you have to cover it up for about 2 days also.

Sounds great. However, I know a friend of mine eventually had surgery for breast reductuion (shame), because it was troubling her. I think she had back aches, but I am not sure - also don't really know what size she was.

Your insurance will most likely not cover it. You can keep your identy. Yes you pay more to get more. It can hurt bad. Yes it is expensive . It depends on the person what emotional / hormonal changes you go through. It is best to ask a doctor about this. And no there is no money back guarentee. You may have a sex drive ,but it is not guarenteed . Yes it will be different and yes you can pick your cup size. You can not go through menopause unless you are a girl.

My advice would be to really take a considerable amount of time to think this decision over and talk about it with with your family and friends, as well as mental health care professionals. Because once you convert to the opposite sex there's no coming back and the implications will obviously be huge. (I'm assuming, of course, that you have surgery and/or hormone therapy in mind.) If you're serious about a sex change operation and an entire lifestyle change, I would recommend making an appointment with your regular physician and asking for a starting point. Your doctor will probably refer you to a psychiatrist who'll need to evaluate you; I'm pretty sure it's required by law in most places. Good luck!

I had the surgery back in January and have lost 231lbs.  I would do it all over again the pain and discomfort are worth it and now that pain and discomfort are gone just a bad memory.  The cost was about 32,000 for the surgeon and 15,000 for the hospital stay.  I was only in the hospital for 3 days!  The only weird thing was that my butt hurt all the time (after I started losing weight) I asked my doctor about it and he said it was a normal complaint after surgery…lol.  Oh well, things have gone well except I caused myself to have a hernia I unloaded about 1,500lbs of cottonseed off of a trailer into the barn I also moved about 500lbs of patio stones.  It was too much too soon (only four months) I just felt so great I had to get out and go to work.  The hernia will have to be fixed but because of were its at I can wait until I have a tummy tuck in about 18 months.  I’m now working on the farm again just careful with the heavy loads.  I take vitamins (prenatal lol), B-12, and green tea extract (my own idea on the green tea).  I took potassium for several months until my lab work came back as normal so the doc took me off the potassium.  I had one side effect from the incision itself.  During the surgery the incision is very near the diaphragm so when I would stand I would get sever hic-ups which would take my breath away and usually cause me to throw up.  That lasted for about a month and a half.  My doctor said that it wasn’t too common but some patients did suffer with the hic-ups.  They gradually went away when everything healed up nicely.  I now walk a mile every day and during the summer I would swim for at least an hour each day if not more.  I have had a little hair loss (I had stopped taking my vitamins) but that’s over with (I’m taking my vitamins like a good boy).  It was worth the money, pain, and time I now have my life back.  I still have 170lbs to go but I feel great and it was worth it.  Just do your research and find a good surgeon.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost of Breast Augmentation - Saline Implant surgery in India. One of the most frequently asked questions when considering Breast Augmentation - Saline Implant surgery is "how much?" and “what is the price of surgery in India?”\n\nOftentimes, patients choose their surgeon on the basis of price. \nThe cost of Breast Augmentation - Saline Implant surgery is very affordable in India and costs are much lower when compared to the United States, UK and other countries. However, since the success of your surgery is largely dependent on your choice of surgeon, cost should not be your main consideration for your decision to undergo Breast Augmentation - Saline Implant surgery in India.\n\nI checked out the website of Forerunners Healthcare –which is the premier most medical tourism company in India offering low cost surgery in India to International Patients. They have served more than 400 International patients from across the globe (specially US and UK) to get low cost affordable surgery in India at the best Hospitals and Medical Institutions.

He should have extensive experience in the procedure you will undergo.

Thus, although it is understandable that price is one of the considerations in your choice of surgeon, it is important to remember that the main consideration should be your surgeon's professional qualifications and experience.\n\nBesides that you should look into other issues related to traveling abroad, which is your visa, passport, climate, cultural issues and language barrier. Although language is not a problem in India –as most of the people are well verse in English. But you should make sure that you have a reliable hand holding person to guide you through the various steps of getting medical treatment and surgery in India.\n\n\nHope this helps.

I am certain the surgery would be extremely costly: it is totally useless elective surgery and for this you want go to hospital and go under full anaesthesia (add in a small chance that you may never wake up again), possibility of infection, etc... and for ???  Why would you want to start a marriage on the basis of lies?  If you MUST pretend to be someone other than who you are for the sake of a "marriage" then stay single because you and this husband will only divorce in the end anyway.  Save yourself the stress, the medical costs for this elective surgery and the divorce attorney fees.  Take it from a wise old old broad: you can only keep up the charade for so long.  You will wake up one morning and say to yourself  "to HELL with THIS".

Actually you can request the gyno to cut it.  And, quite frankly, anything you do will have a little pain.

It's a matter of demographics as well as other factors.  Plastic surgery is expensive.

Surgery for breast augmentation can cost you $3,000 to $10,000 or more depending.  You also need weeks and weeks of healing time.  The new weight on your chest can feel very uncomfortable and there is a lot of bruising. Sometimes during the healing process something can go wrong and they may look funny in which case you have to pay more money to fix them.  Then you need replacements every seven years!  Ask your doctor about any alternatives out there that you should consider before taking the plunge.

I think the majority of ladies in NAmerica wax or do something with their bikini area. I personally wouldn't recommend waxing at home, unless you have a huge tolerance for self inflicted pain. True that it's more private, and you can cry and whine like a baby all you want, no one's gonna know, but for really great results, I'd go to a professional, and get them to do it. They can do a better job, reach places you can't even see, and get all the hair out faster, and actually with a little less pain. Make sure they are trained properly though, cause if not, you might as well do it at home. Expect to pay between $30 and $50 for a session, depending on where you go. And, as was already mentioned, the hair should be about 1/2" in length for the wax to work properly. They'll trim it if it's a little too long.\nWhen you get it done professionally, they'll most likely use a hot wax, which can be fairly warm. Using a spatula, they'll spread it on the area (that was the part I found most painful), and using strips of cloth, rip out the hair by it's roots, thus eliminating the hair from that area, for about 1-1.5 weeks. As you get it done more and more, less hair will grow back, and what does come in will be finer. Theoretically, after years of consistantly doing it, the hair should cease to grow, or at least grow in so little that you only have to treat the area once or twice a year. But I don't do it religously, so I can't say if that's true or not. But it does seem to be coming in finer.\nSo there you go, that's my experience with it. Overall, I'd say go to a salon, pay them, and get it done professionally.
