Recovery from SRS sucks. Period. How you will feed yourself, pay bills, and and keep some money in your pocket is one thing you don't read about in your surgeons after care instructions. It can be tough. I stashed away as much as I could pre-surgery. But let me tell you, it goes quick.

Eat-dilate-try to exercise-sleep... Has been my schedule for the last 7 weeks. I haven't been able to go out with friends, go shopping, or even go to the movies with my BF... Let alone have sex with him yet... Which I know he is dying for. So yeah... Fun times!

Hope everything works out for you.   :)

Thinking about you young girl, hope each day gets better. We all care for you I'm sure, I know I do.

well I'm not near my dr so..... :-\ I mean nothing seems wrong, in fact I went up a size on the dilator last night, the stitch material was also very brittle as I easily broke it(outside the body) so I think it was already breaking down. I dont think its an issue but I am going to email dr.c

Geez, I hope it turns out OK. :(

Yet another thing to watch out for, I guess. As if you needed any more.

Are you near anyone who could, say, stop by with vittles?
Don't lose who you are along the path to who you want to be.

I am at my moms right now so if by vittles you mean food, yes she is feeding me :)

I had that happened to me. Stitches all bunched up came out with the dilator  :o I still keep it as a reminder of what I've gone through to become a complete woman lol.
