Guess until you go through the whole process you will not really understand. It is one HUGE sore HOLE. Then even if you where at the 3 month mark and started to use the OMG (ORANGE MONSTER GUAGE) is still hursts and let me say the PC muscle is a bitch. I am at 6 months and it still is fighting back for me. Hard to get things past, still slow and easy.
When you have the GRS surgery you just do not get this huge hole that offers no resistance. For years it will be fighting back to close up and that is the part of healing. Healing always has some type of discomfort to it.
Maybe who knows, in the 1 month mark who knows what your life holds. But it could be hell if there is anything that goes wrong, up to years to get to the point or worst never. And i said it before up to around the 4 month or so mark does it start not looking like a surgery site and the scar lines start to get hidden by the hair re-growth.
You need to do what you need to do. There is no right or wrong answer here, everyone heals in there own time. Every surgery has it good and bad outcomes. It is MAJOR surgery not just a stich up after a fall.
Lots of luck and i hope you find what you wish in the future.
