Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the surgery!

I can’t think specifically of anyone who has chosen to have this, however, I can’t see any reason for it not to be possible.  The London team are very open to working with patients to achieve the outcome that they want.

The urethral lengthening is normally completed in the second stage, and the testicular implants are normally put in during the second stage, so it’s certainly possible to spend some time with urethral lengthening with no testicular implants (I know of people who have left significant gaps between second and third stage due to other commitments with no issues).  If you’re not having testicular implants then it may be possible to skip the third stage entirely, or just use it to tidy up any aspects that require it.

... to fund. If I started T this year and got into Sheffield in 2.5 years time, how long would it take them to refer me for top surgery? If I funded my own surgery privately would I still be able to use the GIC to monitor T levels etc?

You would need to go through their assessment process before they will refer you for top surgery, which will take at least 6 months, and possibly longer.

One option for privately funding top surgery are to either have follow up appointments with Dr Lorimer at Gendercare after starting testosterone to get a private surgery referral, in which case Sheffield will take over your blood monitoring and discuss lower surgery if you want it when you get there.  If you didn’t want lower surgery you could skip Sheffield all together and just get your GP to refer you to a local endocrinologist for blood monitoring.

The other possibility is to wait to get a referral from Sheffield, and then pay to go privately using that referral to cut down surgeon’s waiting times a little bit.  If you did this then Sheffield would continue to monitor your bloods.

My suspicion is that it’s an outdated message. There used to be a webform “contact us” box to fill in, but that was notoriously unreliable, and I notice they now give an email address instead. I’m not sure when they switched it over, but I would guess it’s fairly recent and they just haven’t got around to changing the answerphone message.

Basically - I wouldn’t worry! Just keep trying on the phone if you’d prefer to set things up that way, or email them using the address provided.
