If the statistics are real then there should be no issues showing us the source of them?

I suspect that any kind of regret probably manifests over the long term rather than the short term. Though that is entirely my theory and not backed up by any evidence beyond simply being common sense.

Well there was this study that said 51 out of 55 studies found that 93% of trans people are happy with surgery.Still,i do think it's eye opening that the detrans sub was being attacked by activists because of those that weren't happy with surgery. https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/

I'd have to go into the studies specifically. I find it somewhat hard to believe those statistics however when we consider that the failure rates of MTF bottom surgeries are close to 50%.

Well, 41 of those studies (no, that’s what I actually counted lol), can immediately be disregarded as they were conducted prior to 2015, when the gender affirmative model was made the standard (and was only initially conceived in 2013). The guidelines for transition were far stricter prior to that.
