Getting Neovagina Surgery Hasn’t Worked Out for Me 4 Times in Just 16 Months
It’s been nothing less than a nightmare for me to receive neovagina surgery. (I’m a (transgender) woman.) That’s because it hasn’t worked out four times in just 16 months.
The first issue regarded Intermountain Health, before I came to the Los Angeles area from Utah in mid-February 2023. The second through fourth problems have been in the LA area.

IH didn’t even have equipment for vagina surgery to take place.
(Also, Micah Sheldon, the case manager who was supposed to coordinate my care, didn’t write his case note of our visit for 16 days. A different social worker told me that his employer requires it within 72 hours. And I find that he told me 48 hours.)
IH sent me six complaint forms, as I initially requested, before I left to southern California (as I then told an IH patient advocate I was doing). One of just two reasons I relocated was because I imagined things would go more smoothly in the left-leaning state.
