Hi Michelle,
I viewed the website and it does what it is supposed to do....create the image that they are a professionally run medical organization and that the surgeon is top notch. But you don't really know what they are like until you actually visit them, have your consultation and ask questions. One of the questions I would ask is how many of this particular surgery has the surgeon done that will perform it on you? Their website shows nice positive reviews from past patients but are there other reviews out there on this surgeon? Is it possible to talk to a prior orchiectomy patient to gain their perspective of the surgeon and how they are doing post-orchiectomy?
I'm sure you have reflected on this and have decided that this is the surgery you want. As you know, once you have the orchiectomy done, you have eliminated any future chance to have vaginoplasty performed on you. Personally if it were me, I would have the testicles internally removed but leave the scrotum skin intact for future vaginoplasty.
I don't know what else to say other than I hope everything goes the way you want it to.
Hugs and lots of love,
Anne
