How much dilation did you really need?

That's why I'm worried. Apparently here is the only place where surgical techniques are so advanced that dilation is not really very important [/sarcasm] 

Haha yeah odd but still if it's what your surgeon said to do thats usually the best advice to follow =)


Oh and report: once a day is going rather well yay! =)

Dr. Leis removed the packing one week after surgery (now that was fun!) and said to start the dilation schedule right then and there:  4 times a day for 3 weeks, 3 times for 3, 2 times for 3, 1 time a day for 3, then once or twice a week forever. I assume if you wait for the vagina to heal, it might well heal right back together. I don't want to take that chance, or I should say I didn't want to take that chance, so I didn't. Forget the instant gratification - let it heal. (does that qualify for one of my double-entendres?)

Yep, same here.  They pulled a salmon out of me in Montreal!  I'm finally at the point where I can start decreasing the frequency of my once daily dilations.
