Toby is the best! He's done all my work, and I couldn't be happier with my results. And his aftercare facility is top-notch. Bring your laptop, favorite DVDs, a couple of books to read -- there's always boredom to stave off.
I found BAS to be more painful than bottom surgery (I had them done at the same time). The worst part, actually, was coming off hormones and getting another growth spurt of facial hair. Gah! All worth it, though, just for that first experience of slipping my fingers between my legs and sliding them inside. That's when I really cried.
The first time you get up to walk, stop and wait for some drops of blood to fall on the floor. Pay attention to them. Let that sight become emblazoned in your memory. Trust me on this.
