After a year from when I scheduled my initial consultation to now, it finally happened! The procedure took about 5 hours at Henry Ford doing the robot assisted hybrid PPT-PI vaginoplasty. Currently in recovery for about 6 days before I'll hopefully be discharged to go home to continue my recovery.

The buildup and anticipation leading up to the surgery date was probably the worst part so far. My pain is currently tolerable, but we'll see how it is once I need to start moving around more ๐Ÿ˜…

waoow, im incredibly scared of any type of surgery, even dental lol
how it its? how the pain right after surgery, yeah bumped with a lot strong pain meds but still how its ? but what it will be by stopping pain meds?

you are hero! that complex and hard surgery, the price?(im think is most painful than surgery itself)

im planning just getting orchi kheh, some surgeouns do it in russia but its super hard to get info since they cencor themselfes for security reasons(look at history of one girl where her mom with ultrafar-right wing worse than govr itself stopped the surgery(idk was it bottom or not but it was in Tolyati))

but im know 3 ffs surgeouns inside russia (bruh any which know how to work with bone countour is ok, but some of them are just can be transphobic) and Anna Sluzkaya in Yerevan ffs isnt super expensive because private healthcare here is always cheap kheh like in most post-socialist country (im dont planning getting it but blah im know 3 ffs surgeouns but 0 orchi ones),

idk maybe possible do orchi through corrupt a local doctor in my small city somehow, like its minimaly invasive surgery, like why trans organizations centered in t*legram and only through it possible to get friendly doctors lol
the surgeries like orchi still do inside russia like moscow for example

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll, one surgeoun even didnt removed the mentions of transgenders, holy, like some other is more neutral but still mentions transness on their(updated) site like reason for feminization-masculinization, along "women who want be more feminine" or reverse image
and it have vajajaplasty listed hell
