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

    Oh I missed that, thanks. Wow, what a dumb requirement! Glad you are on the other side of that.

      Yep, really pointless and am really glad as well

      11 months from first talks about surgery at the hospital to actual surgery, all the health insurance fighting in between… was well-prepared already and had documents from psychiatrist, therapist and gyn (overseeing my HRT) already ready at that first appointment ^^
