Of course there is still debate about how much 'you' will still be
'you' in a different body.
The ethics crowd have already been having a go at the problem.

Suppose a 10-stone weakling gets a 20-stone testosterone-charged body.
How will he change? And vice-versa.
Or a body with allergies? Or muscle memories, like piano-playing, or
tap-dancing, or much increased / reduced sex drive? Will left-handed
become right-handed?

I would expect changes to personality, so that in a few years the
patient will be a different 'you'.
