However I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'recent' ?

Anyway I'm happy with the results...

Sam, it would be best if Zenda sent you an email contact.  You will not be able to use the site's email utility until you have at least 15 posts.  It is a standard security measure.

Kia Ora Sam,

In all honesty, it's really hard to say, I can only speak for myself ... I don't pay much attention to what's down there, however from different doctor's reports,(some being unaware of my past history) it looks authentic.... As far as scaring, feeling and smell goes, due to the type of surgery there's minimal scaring, and all the feelings/sensations are there, but one must also bear in mind 'if one has never had a vagina one cannot have any way of knowing how one/a vagina should 'feel'... Smell was a bit of a problem for a while after the surgery, mind you this was to be expected with mucus/waste discharging after dilation...

Also I'm not sexually active ie I'm asexual, but I do dilate once every four to six weeks for about 10-15 mins-call it a bad habit 

A friend had the same type of surgery six months before me, and the results were not the best, she had a number of complications...She ended up going to Thailand to have corrective surgery....

One thing you have to bear in mind, this kind of surgery can be very intrusive, prone to complications, more so than the penile inversion techniques...However if all goes to plan, the results of this surgical technique leaves one with the closes thing to the real thing...

A snippet from Peter Walker Gender Reassignment website.... Regarding the technique...
 

A vagina is constructed via a laparoscopic operation. Portion of the large bowel, the
ascending colon, is mobilised on its own blood supply down into the position where
the normal female vagina is situated between the bladder and rectum

Dear Metta,

Thank you so much for your reply this is really helpfull for me.Can i just ask one more thing how long after surgery did you have to deal with muces and smell?Like you said there are certain risks with this technique maybe even more so then with the penile inversion but it does have its benifits.My other choice would be Dr Suporn but from what i gather his techinque has the same problem as Dr Walker's if everything goes well that you can get fantastic result but of something goes wrong there can be serious complications plus there is alot if dilation with Dr Suporn.It is so difficult to make a decision lol

Kia Ora Sam,

Again this is difficult to say...I think for me it was around a month or two before the smell really started to dissipate, the mucus thing lasted longer, how long ? I'm not sure...
I'm sorry but I didn't/don't really keep a record of things...

For the most part neo-vaginas tend to have a slight fishy smell to them (Well mine does anyway-and I put this down to what the lining was manufactured from =a piece of colon)...

When it comes to picking a surgeon "Go with the flow of your heart"...The choice you make will be the right one....
