Thank for all the input...
I did call Dr Arnkoff.....talked to him directly...very easy to talk to...I was feeling very comfortable after our talk. The surgery is scheduled for Saturday 11/1/13. I'll drive up on Friday and stay the night, surgery on Sat, then my Wife will drive me back home on Sunday. I've arranged to have the following week off...the Dr said I might want to consider 2 wks. I heal fast...lol .. and will play it by ear. I'll keep blogging the events as they unfold. I assume this thread is a good place for that.
I asked him about my Wife being present and videoing the procedure. He hesitated...then said I could set up a video cam/phone but he doesnt' usually allow another in the room during the procedure. I understand his hesitation. She's a very persuasive person, it will be interesting to watch her negotiate that with him.

I also asked if W/we could keep the testicles and he said yes. She is scouring local antique shops for a very special "vessel".
Back to work.... (I have to pay for this honor now)

After wanting/needing this for SOOO many years...its a strange feeling to now be only weeks away getting the fulfillment
I need. At this point castration is more emotional than physical in that my testicles have not been producing "T" for quite a while due to the Estrogen/Spiro HRT was on for a long time. my body has already adjusted to castrate levels of "T". I'm past that. My need to be rid of them has been so great that I tried burdizzo (with lidocane injections)... my testicles swelled then went back to normal size...the only permanent effect was nerve damage to the cords so that I never feel like I've been kicked in the nuts (even if I am). The did not atrophy as I expected. So I've been thru the gauntlet, so to speak. Chemical castration, burdizzo, and now, finally, orchiechtomy (surgical removal). MtoE transformation has been a long road...but it's almost complete. In my daily life I live as a eunuch and submissive to my beautiful Dominate Wife. Completion of this step is very important to U/us as a couple and to me as an individual.
