I've had top surgery in Norway! Thanks to everyone who donated and thanks to my community at Twitch for all the support in fundraising streams :)
I have had my initial consult with Dr Simensen over google meet and it went really well! He has given me the quote so the total cost for surgery and travel will be around $15,000 NZD. Less than half of what we started with!
I've been searching around all over the place and we have a change of plans! I'm going to be having the same type of surgery but in Norway with Dr Halfdan Simensen. This probably seems super out of the blue but I have a very close friend I'll be staying with in Norway and the price (including travel costs) is about half of what I've been quoted here in NZ. (No shade to the surgeons over here, it just is what it is with availability and all that). The current estimated cost for the surgery and travel costs is about $15,000 NZD, but I will update this with any changes. Thank you so so much to anyone who has shared and donated :)
