McGinn Post Op results may vary.

Comment by Marsha M. Marsha on August 9, 2012 at 7:36pm

I have heard mainly good, but also bad reports about Dr. McGinn's procedures or post ops care. What I have read from you sounds familiar from other stories concerning her schluffing off complaints after surgery. On the other hand I have personal friends who rave about her skills.

Frankly, any surgeon makes mistakes and it isn't solely about the technique, but also what "canvass" the artist has to work with, which is no criticism of you, but she may have had obstacles to overcome of which she had difficulty processing.

I had Dr. Rumer perform my vagioplasty and the clitoris was causing pain also due to scarring on one side. She suggested a cocoa butter cream which eradicated the scar allowing me to really enjoy sexual experiences.

I am really sorry to hear about this negative post-op experience and hope someone (Marci?, are you sure?) will be able to fix the problem.

One last thing, the care at Lower Buck County Hospital was excellent for me, but I have heard of, and seen, bad experiences so I suppuse it depends on who is on staff and maybe what side of the wing one is assigned.

Hugs for healing.

I have to agree with Marsha that the staff at lower bucks was great.  Yea laying on my back for three days really sucked and for them to bring you food you could not eat because you were on your back sucked even worse.

Dr. McGinn is my surgeon too.  I have had a couple of issues but nothing serious.  I have a lot of sex and enjoy it but I am not having orgasms.  I have had about 5 by myself.

As with any surgery, there can be complications and we are warned of that.  But do not give up hope or the spirit to make your body right for yourself.

Hugs, Galina

I really just wanted to put this post out there as I've only read good things about McGinn myself, I don't want to paint a bad picture of her ability, but I don't want anyone else to have a false impression of the possible results from her or anyone else, without hearing about how surgery went for me. I've heard of bad things happening from every surgeon out there including Suporn, and Bowers. I also had someone close to me in my life not too long ago, who felt that surgery would fix all her problems, and guys were just going to start crawling out of the woodwork for her post op, but that very well may not be the case. 

I'm not sure at this point who I will chose to fix my pain/ extra erectile tissue problem, I'm going to try and wait it out, though I still can't believe that she would try to completely deny what was obvious to me, without having to have Marci confirm it. I only saw Marci as she was in town and the only person who I could see that would have an idea of what was going on, without having to get on a plane. 

And yes I was well aware that something could go wrong. But from my own ignorance on the matter I felt that if I wasn't orgasmic after surgery that I wouldn't be able the feel sexual arousal the way that I do, I want others to learn from my experience. A lot of people are pretty hush, hush about the small little down sides of being post op, I think though the more people know before hand, the more prepared they'll be afterwards. 

And Marci did say that she has changed her technique quite a bit over the years, all surgeons do. 

And a little bit about the hospital, In the OR  one of the anesthesiologists, just before I was put under said "I got him his pillow" I was referred to as him by the food server on day three, I complained to my nurse, told her about some of the other issues, and she on my last say referred to me as "he" as well while speaking to my mom out in the hall. I go on about little things like having to wait 30-50 minutes sometimes when I hit the call button as well. Heather told me that all of the staff who see McGinn's patients are trained in how to deal with and address them. But really they're trained? Being trained to be respectful of people, doesn't really make for a nice understanding post op stay.

Kayla I just wanted address what you wrote about your friend. I know she has other reasons for GRS other than thinking guys will fall over her.  I have thought about a dating blog but I will tell you dating is tough.  I do not care if your are L, B, G, T, or S(straight), everyone has the same problem in the dating world.  There has also been a blog written about to tell or not to tell someone before or after someone you are dating that you have had GRS.

As in all new relations, BE CAREFUL.

It was really sad about my friend, she's a great person, has so much offer, but she would always beat herself up over everything, and she felt that she wouldn't have a life at all until she had surgery, she also felt everything bad that happened was because she hadn't had surgery. I was even there for one of her suicide attempts last June, though she wanted to say it was because she's tired of waiting for surgery, there are so many terrible things in her life, her parents were horrible to her for the entirety of her life, but the biggest of all was she never believed in herself. Though with her and the way the better part of her life went, it was understandable why she was so beaten down. But one thing I can for sure now, telling people up front about being transsexual it was easier to get a date post op, just saying. I felt I was good at weeding out the chaser types, but really I am not sure now.
