Almost 3 years since Align has been apart of my journey. I got my first procedure done with Gurujala back in 2020🩷 he performed surgery on me 3 times within a year, I absolutely ADORE Dr.GURUJALA ♥️ he will always forever have a special place in my heart. I recently got a Facial Feminization Revision with Dr.Pang and when I tell you guys!😭♥️ he literally changed my life. Before my procedure, the morning of he consulted me one last time to make sure we were both on the same page. He made me feel really comfortable and super confident walking into my surgery. I was really specific in what I was looking for and he kept it realistically which I 100% understood and agreed to. My recovery period has felt like forever but he literally made me look like a Barbie doll 🩷♥️ his PA Yiwei was the most sweetest assistant and was very helpful throughout my recovery ❤️🩹 I HIGHLY SUGGEST EVERYONE TO GO WITH DR.PANG! I can promise you that his hands are magic!💟 my overall experience this time around with the Align team was a 10/10. I cant wait to work with Dr.Pang again in the near future♥️

Thomas Satterwhite and Debbie Anziano did my original reassignment surgery in Feb. 2018, then a revision cosmetic surgery in Nov. 2018. I flew from Tucson back to SF for the revision surgery and then returned to Tucson the following Monday after seeing Satterwhite for a very rushed post op, He YANKED the drainage tubes out and sent me on my way. After returning home I had complications, extreme swelling and pain in my right outer labia. I called Satterwhite for help the entire month of December 2018, could not reach him, was constantly told they would give him the message. He finally called me back Jan. 16th 2019, after a month and a half, I begged him for help, and was told it was normal, and was charged $500 for a 5-minute phone call. I reported my complications directly to Debbie Anziano via her cell phone, I was told it was just probably fat necrosis and normal. I begged them for help after the surgery and got nothing. Late December 2018 I used a mirror and saw something grey in the right labia surgical area, it was not normal so I pulled on it gently with a pair of tweezers, it was stretchy, I gently pulled on it, it was a 6 inch piece of drain tubing that had snapped off and was left inside me the day Satterwhite yanked the tubes out. I called Debbie Anziano over and over, telling her that my right labia was very swollen and sore, and that I could feel a lump in it, again I was told it was normal, and probably just fat necrosis. I was so swollen and sore that I could barely walk. I called Debbie Anziano and ask her to send me a prescription for antibiotics to Tucson, at which time she did, but told me not to take them, two weeks later I told her that I was still in great pain, which time she told me to send her a picture of the surgical area, she immediately responded start taking the antibiotics. Once I removed that tube, it was like "my water broke", leaking down my legs and onto my floor, but the pain subsided, but I my labia was still grossly engorged, with a hard object I could feel inside. I can't tell you how many times I asked Debbie Anziano for help directly via text messages and phone calls between 2018 and 2021, and she did nothing but tell me she thought "I should just get out more". In January of 2020 I started having severe issues not being able to have bowel movements, which I thought might have something to do with my reassignment surgery. Again I begged Debbie Anziano for help because none of the doctors in Tucson we're familiar with the surgery I had. I felt the bowel issue was connected to my reassignment surgery, but could find nobody in Tucson or where I live in New Mexico now to confirm this, as the doctors in Tucson and New Mexico are simply not familiar with these surgical procedures. In February of 2024 this year it was discovered that I had a complete neovagina prolapse, and while the doctors were looking at the imaging, Dr Max Gallegos at unmh Albuquerque discovered an unspecified medical device in my right labia. On February 26th 2024, I had surgery at unmh Albuquerque to repair the neo vagina prolapse, at which time Dr Max Gallegos removed the unspecified medical device from my right labia. Prior to having this removed my right labia was completely deformed, literally hanging down, with a hard ball in the center. Finally after 6 years I'm not in pain and I'm not deformed. I begged Debbie Anziano for help over and over again, and they did NOTHING. It was a horrible experience to say the least. Even after the surgery in February 2024 I am still unable to have bowel movements. I am positive my bowel issues are a result of my reassignment affirmation surgery, and while the surgery at unmh Albuquerque corrected the neo vagina prolapse and colon rectocele, I am still unable to have bowel movements. I am in pain all the time, unable to have bowel movements, with no doctors in New Mexico, even at unmh Albuquerque, that are familiar enough with the surgery performed by Thomas Satterwhite to help me. I honestly want to die!
