OMG you're a sign from the heavens as Im long overdue with this issue.
Same story with you in 2014 I failed in depth with Chettawut 3inch only
Some questions:
1. My biggest concern is sensation during sex, will you feel internal orgasm? I just wanna enjoy during sex.
2. I heard people take 4 months to recover and have irregular bowels which might get internal infections, Im scared of this
3. Are the scars of the surgery obvious? im scared being clocked
4. Will you be able to double-penetrate? anal-vagina. it was always my fantasy
5. and very important is how much cost the surgery?
Sorry to hear you had depth issues too. I think it is more common than people realize. In my opinion sigmoid colon revision is the best solution for restoring or extending depth. The colon tissue is strong, flexible, and resilient, unlike thin skin graft tissue or fragile peritoneal graft tissue. I have had zero bleeding from my vagina during dilations, because the colon tissue is flexible and stretchy, just like a cis vagina.
To answer your questions:
1. I haven't had sex yet since my surgery. I'm only 7 weeks post-op so it's too early. But my sensation from my clitoris is still the same as before my sigmoid colon revision. I was able to experience clitoral orgasm before this surgery, and I have already confirmed I can still experience it. The way the dilator feels inside my vagina is mostly the same as before my sigmoid colon surgery, so I have no doubt that I will once again experience pleasure during vaginal penetration too. I'm glad that Dr Burin was able to remove all the damaged, painful granulation tissue inside my vagina without affecting any of the surrounding tissue that relates to pleasurable sensation.
2. Intra-abdominal infection is a very real possibility, and Dr Burin warned me about it before the surgery. The greatest risk is the first week post-op, during which you are in the hospital the whole time. The nurses checked on me every few hours for my blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, to check for fever and any signs of infection. I was also on intravenous antibiotics. Dr Burin visited me daily to check the drainage tubes and incisions for any possible infection. I was not allowed to even drink water for the first 3 days after my surgery, and no food for longer than that. It was all so that my bowels would have plenty of time to heal and reduce chance of internal infection from food and drink.
When I was released from the hospital after one week, he said the chance of infection was only about 1% by that point. By the time I was ready to fly back home a few weeks later, he said chance of internal infection was 0% at that point. I believe that the best way to avoid internal infection is to very seriously follow the all-liquid clear diet for the 3 days before surgery. Take the Swiff laxative solution each day, 2 days before surgery as instructed. Make sure your bowels are completely 100% clean before surgery so that no contaminants can leak from your colon into the surgical area during surgery.
Also, I took a few more precautions myself. Each day before the surgery, I douched the inside of my vaginal canal with betadine and water to clear bacteria. I also brought anti-bacterial soap before I flew to Thailand. The night before my surgery, I washed my body and hair thoroughly with my anti-bacterial soap. I wore fresh, clean new clothes to the hospital before my surgery. Oh, I should also mention that once I was on the operating table, the doctors told me that they would scrub and clean my body before opening me up (but after I was put under with anesthesia). So they take every precaution to minimize the risk of infection.
And as long as you follow a low fiber, low residue diet during your recovery, your colon will heal ok. Your colon resection will heal just fine and it's very unlikely that the colon will burst open and cause infection. Be gentle and eat small amounts of food, many times a day. It's better than eating a few big meals, so that your colon is not under too much stress at one time.
There is a greater risk of external infections such as UTI, because of frequent bowel movements. Be sure to wipe thoroughly after each bowel movement. Don't be afraid to use lots of toilet paper and wet wipes. And after dilation, always rinse the outside of your vagina and the urethral area with the betadine/water solution as instructed. The nurse told me to use 200 ml water mixed with 20 ml betadine. Probably need to keep doing this until bowel movements return to normal.
3. My abdominal scar looks exactly like a C-section scar in appearance, placement, and length. There are no other scars in, or outside, my vagina from this surgery. There are scars from drainage tubes on either side of my lower abdomen, but they are minor and I'm sure they will fade away normally. They are already less prominent than the scars from the drainage tubes in my mons pubis area from my first SRS with Chettawut.
4. Probably yes? There was no change to my anus or rectum, and the sigmoid colon length that was used was 8 inches (the entire sigmoid colon length is 15 inches, so half of my sigmoid colon should still be there). If you were able to have double penetration before sigmoid colon revision, you can probably do it afterward too. I have never done DP though, and have no intention to ever do so. You'll have to report back after your own surgery and let us know how DP works for you, lol.
5. Sigmoid colon SRS is about 50% to 70% more than regular standard SRS, based on quotes I got from various Thai surgeons. Different surgeons have different cost, you can contact them for specific numbers.
