Hi, I saw your thread and will post on it.
For me, I've been busy using every bit of my ever increasing energy. However, it's been rough for a few reasons. I mentioned before I had a tear underneath my introitus, more precisely where the labia minora meet underneath it. I think it has to do with Dr. Satterwhite's specific technique, which is different from other surgeons who do penile inversion. There are a lot of sutures in that area, and according to the doc, it's an area where the tissue is weakest. The little tear became quite big and scary. In fact I could see my purple dilator through it! I talked to Dr. Satterwhite about it and apparently it happens to 50% of his patients and not a serious issue. I was conflicted in my head as to whether it's an acceptable complication. Dr. Satterwhite is a very calm person and seem nonchalant and confident that it would heal once my body can make enough collagen to heal the area. I trusted him and as it turns out, he was right. It's been a few weeks and it's closing up fast. If anyone here has the same issue, don't worry and listen to the good doc's advice. I've heard this happen to at least two of Dr. Bower's patients too. Don't worry folks, these things will heal (but talk to your doc of course).
As for my clitoral hood, bad news on that sorry to say. A significant part of the hood died and fell off. There is still enough hooding to cover it from the sides, but it doesn't look amazing like it did in the beginning. Half of it survived, but mostly on one side. I don't know what's going on with it to be honest. I'll ask him when I see him next month. I think the problem was that I was circumcised. Had the skin been foreskin, it would have survived, but it looked like it was from the shaft under the head, not the prepuce. Alas much of it is gone
I'll probably need a revision to fix the hood. Seems like my body really doesn't like surgery (had some complications with my ffs too).
That was a few weeks ago. The rest has healed up significantly and it's beginning to look normal. Six weeks is a long time to go without stimulation down there so slowly I've starting experimenting. I'm struggling to relearn how to use the new equipment. It's too early. My clit is still healing, it's really hard. The doc says it'll take a bit before it softens. Anyone else have that experience? So far, I've been able to get maybe 60% of the way to an orgasm. It's so frustrating that I'm just going to lay off for a few months. Never again are the days of easily being able to rub one out haha I'm skeptical too when I read about post op orgasms being better than before. I'll believe it when I feel it. There was one spot under my genitalia of yore, the frenulum I believe, that may have gone on a permanent vacation. Without it (it might be somewhere hidden), I don't know if my post op O's will compare well to pre op ones. I hear Thai surgeons like Suporn and Chettawut use that. If my orgasms aren't the same without it, I might come to regret not taking a flight out there.
We shall see. Hopefully my next post will be my "OMG, I just had my first O"
Oh and some good news is that I get pretty wet when I'm aroused. Didn't expect that at all. Guess it's because my urethra is close to my clit and I always had a lot of precum before the op. Now I have enough natural lube just from that to get busy, sans penetration of course
