Orchi(d)ectomy, question

stacis-leak.livejournal.comI've been thinking a lot lately about how realistically no doctor on earth is going to put me forwards for SRS. With my heart condition it's just not an option. However I was reading up on alternatives and a castration or orchi(d)ectomy (people seem to disagree over the correct term) will almost certainly be beneficial, reducing the amount of medication I need and such.
To be perfectly honest if I could, I'd have this done right now., but you know, proecedure, etc. Bu i can still read up.
Anyway, I was looking at this webiste and I found this image:
( well not everyone wants to see a naked crotch on their friends list )
with this catption:
This transsexual woman sought SRS surgery after circumcision, a prior orchidectomy and long term hormone use. The lack of "material" to work with presented the surgeon with serious problems.
I was wondering if anyone with more knowledge of the procedure could tell me if that was a pre-SRS picture or not? Because there just don't look like there's enough left for it to have only been an orchi', and the caption suggests that there were difficulties in sugery which might have left that...
The reason I ask is that I sort of have my fingers crossed that if that kind of shrinkage of the genitals is normal after an orchi, I don't feel so bad about probably not being able to have full SRS....
Also I hear the SOC says nothing about when an orchi can be had in transition, does anyone know more about that? I'm pretty resolved to the fact that as soon as I can afford it I'm going private now so I'd like to know when to raise the question to the doctors.
