Well... hello Susan's... I'm back after years away. I "finished" my transition about 5 years ago now and have been living mostly stealth and for the most part I've been really happy. I'm very blessed. Wow, these forums really helped me back then during the difficult and early times.
So I'm here again to ask for some advice from likeminded folk. I wonder if any old faces are still here...
I had SRS with Dr Suporn in 2019. It was brutal. I gave up dilation after 6 months because it was quite frankly hell on Earth for me. Depressing, and painful and extremely time consuming. I also had to gear up to return to university (I studied a very demanding course to become a health professional) and so I just had to drop dilation. I didn't intend for it to be forever...but here we find ourselves. I am a straight woman, but in my mind, I didn't mind anal all that much...
Well flash forward to now, I want to be able to have PIV sex. I'm sick of avoiding it and running from this.
I just tried dilating again. I surprised myself, I think I have around 3-4 inches of depth. I get the feeling if I keep working at it I could get it close to 5. But it's not comfortable (don't get me wrong, it's nothing compared to what I used to go through). And I was thinking, do I even want to dilate like that? I'll have to do it forever to maintain even if I do get it back to a satisfactory depth. I just don't have the time, energy and patience anymore.
So, I remember a few girls ended up having a second procedure after initial SRS with Suporn, going for peritoneal pull through or colovaginoplasty to help with this issue. And this is what I want to do. Has anyone been through this or have any advice and recommendations on surgeons? Where do I start, who is the best?
P.S. Shout out to anyone who remembers me from years ago!
