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
Surgery went fine on 2024-09-20 in Munich Bogenhausen, I’m recovering well and everything looks fine so far :)
I was in therapy and all for quite some time already, so I made the appointment for the first consultation in Munich, which was like three months out, and used that time to get all the indication letters to bring them there already.
This was a time saving measure, you don’t need them for that first appointment.
You leave that first appointment with some paperwork you need for filing for the costs with your health insurance, so that happens afterwards - you will also need the indication letters for that.
After the health insurance gives their go, the hospital also needs the indication letters for the second appointment there, which is shortly before the surgery - you get that and the surgery appointment together.
Are you German? If yes I have some questions. In what order did you do the following things:
I’m not sure in what order I would have to do those things.
And congratulations of course! 🥰
Yes am German ^^

Thanks that helps a lot :)
