Last couple of days as the inaccurate version of myself...

Sarah, that was beautifully written.  Now go, and be Sarah!

Hi girls!

First of all, thank you to all of you who wished me good luck and to whom I did not personally answered! You are fantastic!

Second: it's done! And it went pretty much how I rehearsed it! Both the vaginoplasty (peritoneal pull-through technique) and the BA went very well. Today, after 5 days, my surgeon removed the prosthesis from the neovagina and now I must dilate 4 times a day ×1 hour and also the full night. Bladder catheter will be removed tomorrow. The manipulation of the neovagina was not painful at all, but very sensitive; certainly not unpleasant. [emoji39] I am also very pleased with my breasts, although they are still swollen; they only hurt a little bit when I use my arms. Thus, so far, a very positive experience!

I'll keep you posted!

Warm hugs, Sarah

I am so glad to hear that things went how you wanted it to. And happy for you that you're happy. I'll always elated to hear someone move forward in pursuit of self.

I couldn't read your first post though, I trigger on emotionally charged posts about 'change'

Your first post in this thread was beautiful and so are you.  You have the heart of a poet.  I wanted to wish you luck but since I'm late I'll say congratulations!  For what its worth catheters are much less awful then they seem.  At least if you've had to deal with them enough.

We share the same problem with narcotics.  I found that pepto bismol helps.  The part about narcotics that I've never found a solution to was itching everywhere!  I will just add that if you stay ahead of pain (With Narcotics) is better then being in pain and putting them off.

I am so happy for you.  Hoping that the rest of your recovery is just as smooth and just as uneventful.
Safe travels

Sarah, I hope the healing and... um... self-care drill... are continuing to go well. 

I still recall how easily I got tired at this point.  After two months, I felt much better.  After a year and a half, woohoo!
