Well my friends the time has finally come. After booking this surgery way back in Jan of this year I'll be leaving home in the morning to travel to Thailand to have my SRS and FFS with Dr Suporn. Thought I'd be a little more nervous but actually close friends and husband have calmed me down. Hope all goes well. Now I just hope I packed everything I'll need.

best wishes for your srs and hope you have a speedy recovery, i forgot my shampoo. I looked hell anyway so it was ok.

Congrats, and good luck with healthy and speedy healing!!

Lol, thanks gals. My husband said your gonna be in a hotel the whole time why do I need makeup and blow dryer and such. Lol. So let's see when I get there what I forgot to pack.

congrats

I couldn't walk for a few days, all I wanted to do was walk to the bathroom and put my makeup on. So for me it was a goal and also made me feel a bit better when I was finally able to put some on. Same with the hair makes you feel a bit more normal again and on your way to recovery.

Congratulations  :)


You could have a walk or some exercises to work off stress hormones...

and you could keep to a mental picture of a good outcome...
maybe sipping your favourite fruit drink... in a nice place...


hugs

Travel and recover quickly.

I still remember my nurse telling me after two days of immobility that she would wash my hair - it was glorious!!

Yeeeaaaaahh!! You're gonna love it! I'm currently recovering, I had nerves etc but, on the other side/hindsight, it's awesome!

Thanks lady's, all is going well. Arrived in Thailand thirst night at 11 kook and dani picked me up at the airport, hotel by midnight, met doctor Suporn next morning at 8, off to hospital at noon for tests, back to hotel to relax. Sat. I received a phone call from the clinic wanting more tests done, I guess I have an abnormal heart beat. The cardiologist at the hospital it's still ok for surgery just need an extra med. in the mean time. So hear I am all checked into the hostipal on a Sunday afternoon just looking at the two large bags of supplies awaiting for my use. Like omg I'm really gonna use that many condoms and lube, but I guess I really am. Have met so many girls here from all over the world and some from only a few hours away from home. I can't say enough about the care you receive from the clinic and hostipal, very awesome. So in less than 17 hours I'll be in the hands of Dr Suporn.

Congratulations  :)


Wish you a speedy recovery  :)


hugs

Congrats! Here's to a speedy and smooth recovery! I am jealous!

Congratulations!

I so wish I was there right now. Suporn is my number one favorite surgeon.

Hope it went well!

Awesome! Here's hoping for success and a speedy recovery!

Congrats!!! Good luck

thanks gals, I am feeling great at only five days after surgery. The Dr. Suporn came in this morning and removed my bandages. All does look very well and he is very pleased. He did say I get to bet up and start moving around tomorrow, which I'm happy about, not sure how much more of this bed I can take. The doctor did a little test for semsitiviy and I must say I have plenty of that, about jumped off the bed when when he touched my clitorus all and all I love my results and very happy happy I picked Dr. Suporn.

Dana, I was pretty happerhensive about flying half way around the world to have this done. But the clinic gals and even the hospital gals here are great. One thing for sure is you can't have any modesty here. I think my favorite gal is Toy, she takes your temps and vitals, you'll get a reall kick out of here. I was able
to get up and walk around yesterday so I made my was next door to visit Emily and her mom.
Has for pain I'm a little surprised there is not that much. But of course since I said that I'm getting some weird pain like a pin prick where I think the tip of the penis was. I can't help and wonder how Dr. Suporn can be so gifted. Tomorrow he is taking the vaginal packing and catheter out. As far as depth I have no clue since he won't tell me or is scared to, as long as it's enough to accommodate my husband I really don't care. Now that I'm looking out side I wish I would have brought more skirts instead of dresses, for the sake of removing and putting on. So I'll stay her tonight then back to hotel for a week and half then back here for FFS. Another gal here Eve had here FFS with Suporn 3 months ago and I'm very envious. I think she looks like a Liv Tyler if you asked me.

Sorry for any typos, think I'm still pretty loopy,

Congratulations! What a ride, isn't it?

Do you remember the wake-up room? My first memory after the surgery is being brought back into my room 905.
How do you like the mattress in your hospital bed? I will hate it forever. How wonderful the hotel bed is compared to that...
Don't slip when you take a shower using the hibiscrub. I did and landed on my butt, painful and could have been avoided.
When you are back at the hotel, find a gal you like and ask her if she would like to do some of the daily dilation sessions together with you. It is not at all unusual, both of you will have company and entertainment, and you may very well become fast friends for life.
When you are ready to walk from the hotel, which Dr. Suporn may allow you to do one or two weeks from now, I have a few things you must do for me, like having ice cream at Swensen's, or stroking the ginger cat in the clinic backyard for me.
I miss the place, the people, even the lounge/elevator music in the hotel.

Good luck with your recovery, and enjoy your stay!

You can ask for a softer mattress. I understand they get lots of complaints about it.

Oh wow, at 5 days postop it sounds like there wasn't much pain at all!

I associate SRS with excruciating, unbearable, torture-like pain, and as I'm willing to go with Suporn too, can you give me more details on the pain of the entire experience of having SRS with Suporn? Thanks!!

Its not as invasive as people think.
Compared with other procedures its not much.
And its healthy people going into an operation.
People can do a few things beforehand to be really healthy.

Meow came in this morning about 6 to ready a tray of who knows all what's on it for the packing and catheter removal. After lying there for what seemed hours Dr. Suporn came in with just about every nurse on the floor, lol. Said everything looked good and was going to remove the outer bandages. After removing the bandages he starts pulling this antiseptic ribbon out, I swear this ribbon must have been 9 feet long, lol. After the ribbon the condom is removed, then the whole vaginal is irrigated three times and then the last time with antiseptic solution. Jib she is is so funny it taking pictures the whole time and your holding a mirror the entire time. Dr. Suporn is explaining the structures and how to care for them, so pay attention. Now come the cathater , deep breath, and it's out, no biggie.
Now it's time for the dilating, this part I feared the most. The Dr takes the medium dilator and unrolls the condom on it and puts a gob of lube on it. Told me to relax and no tense, he slides it in, I thought geez that's all I got was 5", well I have expected it, since I was pretty damn small to begin with. Suporn asked if I had any pain and I said no, so slide a little more in and a little more. I am speechless that I was able to accommodate 7" soo soon. I think the yoga techniques I do at home for relaxing helps with dilating, relaxation is key. I didn't expect much and trusted him to the fullest and it pays off.
As waking up after surgery that's another story. I went in to the operating room, remember getting on the table and then waking up in my room with Jib here. No pain no discomfort as I had imagined. The tightness in the crotch the first few days sucked, but not bad.  The only pain I get is trying to sit on the donut in the shower, so I just stand. So now I'm supposed to be getting ready to head back to hotel, Suporn doesn't want me walking at all this week, since I'll be back in a week for FFS.

Remember girls the girls here do have a sense oh humor and do like joking around, but the also have job to do. 

Oh wow, that's bloody amazing. Gives me hope I won't cry my eyes out because of the pain lmao

thank you so much for your posts, as there was no Suporn-girl made thread in this section since the last half a year or so, and I needed a confirmation he is still a good chap haha

I believe pain or its absence is related to how much painkillers they give you. If you don't get enough it's going to be very bad, and if you do its not.

In some countries there's a strong push to minimize painkillers since they are potentially dangerous. No doubt there's a few bad doctors around as well.

I've don't believe Dr Suporn has a problem with prescribing painkillers, or that his patients have any problems after being prescribed them.

Personally I'd never go to any surgeon that had even a hint of inappropriately restricting the use of painkillers. I'd rather risk addiction than suffer pain.
