Make sure you give yourself enough time to recover. The first month post-op is spent worshipping at the almighty shrine of the vagina. It takes a lot of effort to keep everything healing properly. I myself took 6 weeks off from work and that was just about at the fuzzy edge. I was able to go back to work and function okay, but. I had to go up a flight of stairs to get to my desk and it took me 5 minutes to walk that flight of stairs I was literally pooped. Dilating right after surgery and immediate after care are so important. Not to mention its messy too. Luckily I had one of those shower heads that detaches on a hose so I could aim the shower nozzle where I wanted it to go.
All told I was back to a semi normal life after about 6 months post op and pretty much back to normal after a year.
If this is your first time under the knife then try not to be scared. I know I was the first time. But I have gone under 3 times now and I am still here to talk about it.
Follow your surgeons post surgery instructions and pre surgery checklist. Don't skimp or try and cheat the system. A few weeks off of hormones are not going to kill anyone or cause someone to go backwards. Enjoy having hot flashes post op and appreciate what genetic females go through. Its part of the price of admission to girl world
Read some good books, take something to fiddle with, phone, iPad, laptop, movies, etc. enjoy the moment of reverie when on the way home from your flight you have to step into an airport scanner and know you're a post op and you could care give a crap less who sees what
It's your moment, and the thing you wanted, so enjoy every second of it. For a brief while, you will be the most important person in the world.
After your done and have a life back to normal then live a life to the fullest. Enjoy every thing any other woman can do and live to be 145
