I am wondering what it actually feels like to have srs. Like the physical/mental sensations.
Are you talking about the operation, recovery or life after srs?

All aspects. As I sit here now, I keep imagining my penis being transformed into a vagina. Like how does it affect you mentally.
Well, it gives a feeling of freedom.
You can wear that nice bikini, swimming, go to the beach, have sex the way it was mented, all these kind of things.
Basically...live like any other woman except for giving birth, but, you know, we all have flaws.
Does this answer your question or do you want to know more?

If you still have testes it will take away that nasty male sex drive.. No longer will it happen every day.. you will be like any other woman simple and free and not mentally connected to the male way of thinking due to having those nasty testes.. Heck you might even become a lesbian and become attracted to butch dykes like me.. :)
EDITED TO ADD:
Kidding .. I read your post and i know your a hetero and you seem like a nice person trying to get on with your life after a wild youth.. may you find that happiness
Here are my blog posts that cover my SRS. It will give you a little insight to what you are asking.

The primary purpose of transition is to integrate yourself into society, so SRS itself in that respect, plays little into that scenario. However SRS does have a profound mental aspect that changes you internally. It is the final integration between mind and body.

The first thing was the profound sense of inner calm that comes with the congruence of mind and body...there was no longer the situation of being limited on where and what you can do or who to date because all has become right in the world.

I agree with Ann. The moment I woke up after the operation, I felt a complete sense of inner calm like I'd never felt before.
It was such a complete, total, new and wonderful feeling that I spent 5 days in the hospital, flat on my back in bed and never even turned on the TV. I was just happy to be.
After the 5 days, I spent another week in a beautiful bed and breakfast and never turned on the TV or read any of the books I'd brought. I just laid there in complete peace and tranquility. The owner of the place came by a few days in and asked if I was OK. She said I'd been so quiet she thought something was wrong. Just happy, I replied.
Now, 6 months later, I still have that same inner mental peace. This is proof positive to me that GID is, in fact, a medical condition. There is nothing mental about it, other than the awful effects of it.
Hmmm... My first reaction was "Holy crap what the hell have I done now?" Juuuuuuust kidding... ;D
It's finished, now I can start living. To be honest I no longer remember what it felt like after I woke from surgery. My ex was by my side when I came to, and I remember what she said, "Do you know that you're smiling". I've been smiling ever since.
It is different for a lot of people I am sure BUT it depends on WHO u are as a WOMAN. ME, I didnt ever USE my old organ at all. I didnt even let a man see it NOR did i even touch it, nor did i even mess with a man who WANTED to see it so for ME, it had been MENTALLY not there since childhood, so for ME, when I woke up, i didnt smile, i didnt frown, i just said make me a milkshake and pass me the remote control. NOW almost 2 yrs later is when i stand in the mirror and start screaming with JOY, literally.
ALL n ALL, you have to MENTALLY separate yourself from that part prior to surgery because IF you are a transsexual who actually ENJOYS using it then you might have some issues but if not, then girl you will be alright.
OMG !!!! What does one say? Ans: It's simple. Thank you soooooo much Sandy for putting this pen to paper. I haven't cried this much in years. I've run out of tears to cry, but I'm still crying. (I'm sure there will be more tomorrow) Are these keyboards waterproof (or tearproof) or can I get it replaced under warranty. Thank you .... thank you ..... thank you.
What release, emancipation, freedom and any other word that means being let go. You have opened such a magic space within me .... to know it's a reality, not a dream. Thank you. The realisation that there is still a chance of meeting Mr Right, making him happy and living out the remaining time is a thousands times more exilerating than that first sky jump from 15,000 feet. Thank you soooo much
Lotsa luv

This goes over some of the basics of my experience, at least for the actual surgery itself. Recovery goes on for a while after.

Wow You been through all these I wish some day I can do it too.
And thanks for sharing all these way <3
:-*
For me, surgery itself was pretty painless,(just over three weeks ago) I had no pain and was up and moving around like nothing happened three days after, but everyone is different in that regard. there was a lot of tingling going on but no pain. Four days after my initial SRS, one day before the second stage, I had a climax from nowhere, just sitting there watching TV, and BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!! It was very shocking to have this happen so soon after surgery, and at the same time pleasing, cause I knew I would be able to climax. I had no pain until I began dialating. I'm very small, and tight. So dialating is still a bit of a problem, but it doesn't stop me from doing it like I'm supposed to. Three times a day for me for three months, after surgery, then once a day for a year after surgery, then once a week after that. The pain is mainly from the the surrounding muscles that are still swollen and tight, not the vagina itself. Just over three weeks post-op, I'm still feeling the nerves firing off from time to time, this part of the healing process, and lessens over time. Tylonals help a great deal with any discomfort from dialating.
As for the mental aspect of surgery, I can only liken it to a profound religious experience. The sense of peace and serenity are unmatched in my opinion. It's as though I've looked into the eye of god, and know the universe like it was my own child. It's very enlightening. I feel a sense of freedom I've never known. Being free of unwanted genitalia has given me the power to do things I couldn't do before surgery, like go out in a skirt with no panties >:-) or wear a bikini to the beach. When I see myself in the mirror, I know it's right, and I'm very pleased. Finally after a 22 year transition, I'm complete :) I was very small prior to surgery and needed skin grafts for enough depth, because of this size issue the tips of my labia minora are very sensate, as they have part of the coronal ridge of my penis head still attached. This combined with the glans used for my clitorous will give me very pleasing sex when it's time for that :)
I do want to say that this surgery shouldn't be done for sexual reasons. Even though sex is part of it, it's not the whole enchilada. You need to be VERY sure that you really want to be free of male sexual urges, stimulation and release, cause post-op climaxes are lacking that sensation of ejaculating. Personally, I think they're better this way, they go on and on, and on :)
To be honest...
I dissociated from the entire SRS/recovery experience... on purpose. Is the whole process worth it to be myself? Absolutely! But hell, major surgery is major surgery... and it can be physically painful and mentally stressful. Would I go thru it all again to get this point of freedom? Yes.
But I wanted for my memory to skip the difficult aspect of surgery and recovery... So, we engaged in a prolonged dissociation in order to "not remember" the details of prepping for surgery, going under, the hospital experience and the first few weeks of healing... so, while I know it happened, I can't recall the details... they are locked inside the memory experience of one of my altars... at around week 6, "I" came back and was VERY happy to find that the surgery had been a success.
Hi Dusty,
I'm really pleased for you, that the process you used, worked for you. It's obviously brought you to a place, where you have always wanted to be; safely and securely. I'm always interested to hear what works for everyone. I wish every success for the rest of your journey. Lets us know how you are coping and keep in touch. Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

It feels like someone had recently kicked you in the groin so bad that you are the hospital recovering from it. Although you have no recollection of the event. It's uh, kind of tender down there afterwards.
shayna_lynn,
Can I ask who your surgeon was? I too am very small.
Amelia
I've heard it said that after a time, you can't really imagine what it must have been like to have that "junk" dangling there, or to feel the effect of the evil twins.
I covet that feeling.
More like having a bad appendix removed it was to me.
Yet, from pretty much immediately post-op SRS and GRS sounded plain wrong to me and I now really prefere GCS (Gender Corrective Surgery). Don't ask me for the rational, it is just what came up for me - I feels much more what actually happened. Just a correction.
I always felt female and so nothing changed as such just that I had a correction done - if you can see what I mean?
GID is gone, blown away with the wind - quite amazing. It became a non-issue completely - nothing to GID about anymore, even if you e.g. still have to shave some times.
The funny thing through - having had to do all this tucking over some 2 odd years left some automatic reactions :-) It happens that I want to tuck absentmindedly - and woopsy there is nothing to tuck... he he.
Also since some of the top of the glanse is now the clit - and it is still jolly sensistive now the hand goes there and wants to pull foreward the foreskin (another 'auto-reaction') --- it will take a short while for your brain to figure it out I guess.
Lastly when you pee the "expectation" is that it comes out in a place in front, it now does not hey!, it also will need some short time to get used to that different sensation too.

So your GID is gone. Why is that, could it be because you had
genital surgery?Isnt that what other post-ops have been saying all this time? Your cured, wow.
Isnt that what I was saying?
This simply blows me away when combined with the other posts you've made.
Hm... a cure. go figure.
P.s. Maybe you shouldnt tell the pre-ops/non-ops/cd/tv folks. They might disagree with you. Cmon, a cure? Its a post-op secret dont you know?
Thank you Annah for the welcome back.
Im glad your GID is gone. But your still planning surgery? Would you be having your surgery to be congruent and have female genitals? That is the usual reason for surgery.
Best of luck with it. I may not be around when you make it back online. Good luck.

I am guessing since you havent said, you are referring to a vagina, female genitals. And that it is something you believe you need for your life, otherwise you wouldnt do it. It has meaning to you. Good for you, a vagina. You will love it. I love mine.

Gender issues go deeper than genitals. I've opted to have no surgeries down there because it won't cure my issues. Coming to terms with who and what I am will do that. But to those that opt for SRS, I feel it is a good option.
Many of the younger generation has issues more with the body dismorphic disorder more so than gender genital disorder. I am fine with my birth genitals as my genitals DO NOT define me. Again this is my opinion... I've always wondered why srs actually "felt" like.
So you do not want a vagina? That is certainly your choice. No one should have surgery who does not need it.
This is the post-op forum, so those that are here in this forum chose surgery to have their body be congruent, want and need a female body. It is Male to Female. A vagina. A penis does not belong on a woman as it is a male appendage, male genital. That is what I did and many thousands of others have done.

I try not to think that much about rainbows. Flashback memories of when I served in The Castro street army. I couldn't post the stuff here because of what happened to people's heads. I wake up in a hot sweat and Rey Rey turns on the light and says, "You were having that dream u were in the Castro again?"....
Then I scream, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

What does Srs actually feel like? Like a crocodile bit you between the legs --- at least once you come out of anaesthetics.
Latter on it's just an alligator, and THAT for some time.

If I remember correctly, the crocodile must be what took that blessed bite out of me. The alligators were probably the catheter and bag I had to live with for a week, plus the vaginal packing that made me waddle for a week. Once those were removed, the only real challenge was the frequent dilating and the increased stent size very few weeks.
Dilating is forever.

You wake up in pain, grouchy and groggy and begging for morphine. Then they give it to you and your memory sort of blacks out. A year and 7 months and 2 follow-up surgeries later you're still not feeling completely back to normal. :( There's residual soreness and numbness even this far out. (Funny, I chose my surgeon partly for his one-stage procedure, but so far it's taken 3 surgeries to get it right.)
One week after SRS you realize you never imagined it would feel this right to be free of those dangly bits. At 20 days your first "big O" simply blows your mind.
Riding in the wheelchair in the airport on the way home you feel every bump and vibration and it's uncomfortable. You feel like a delicate flower, or a banana that's been peeled.
Then after a year or so when the swelling has gone down you can look at your equipment in the mirror and feel really good about having something that you've always wanted and always felt should be there.
It was very painful, the most pain I ever felt in my life. But the first week goes quickly

QuoteI only vaguely remember being wheeled back into my room, I was sensing the jostling of the cart and it swinging around in different directions. I could hear french voices around me and the outline of those that moved me to my room. I was only half conscious and drifted out again. I felt safe and taken care of.
The patients rooms are one floor below the operating theatre and recovery area, so it was a quick ride down the elevator. The room I was in was for two people. I was sharing mine with another girl who also had her surgery that morning. A curtain was drawn between us so we had a little privacy. She had the window and I was close to the door. My new immediate world was very small and the next few days would be focused on the bed, the nurses coming in and out in seemingly random patterns and noises from the world outside the room that are never seen ...and my roommates own recovery.
At some point I awoke and the first thing I noticed was feeling a strong steady dull ache in my genital area. I looked down to my feet and there was an impressively high mound of bandaging and dressing rising from under the blanket between my legs. I was very aware that it would be best not to even touch that area with my hands. I was still very groggy.
I also felt a tight, hot pressure in my chest. My hands went to my chest and it felt strange, my skin tight and with a different shape all across it. When I looked under my gown I saw my breasts for the first time. The skin was very tight with alot of swelling in the upper chest area. My breasts rose fully on each side with wonderful curves in a beautiful shape and the nipples swollen as well, rising high. I thought they were beautiful and I was very happy. It was a good moment as I acknowledged my clearly female body. I was struck at how tiny and flat my stomach was in comparison to my chest.
The first night was difficult because of the anesthesia. I had difficulty breathing and had coughing spasms with spitting up into a basin ...it was hard, to be frank. I had tears several times. The nurses were so wonderful, helping me through that first night as I choked and coughed up the anesthesia. I came to love the night nurse for her kindness, gentleness and giving of herself. I will remember her forever for being there for me in that tough time.
As part of the first night protocol, they had me stand and walk a few steps by my bed. Lucky for me there was a kind male nurse to help me get up from my bed. I held onto his arm and a moment later I was up. It felt good. He steadied me and I took a few steps, holding on his arm the whole time. They were so kind and giving of themselves. I have to give them credit. Again, I will love them forever for being there for me.
Once I was back in bed they changed my dressing. I could see all the bandaging as they changed it, so much of it. There is a drain used to remove blood from the wound site that collects in a small, attached plastic container that has a small pump for emptying. They pumped alot out of me. Yes, it is messy, there is alot of blood. The dressing changes and drain pump were a big part of the first night. The nurse came by often and stopped by when she was finished with her shift and stroked my arm saying goodnight.
That is what it was like.

On the 2nd day I became very worried about how it looked, there was so much swelling. I was worried I was deformed and had a panic attack that lasted nearly a day. I knew that the rise of the mound should not look like that ...and I got scared. The nurses tried to reassure me. But it was hard to accept and I was even thinking of having to suicide if it was deformed. I had told myself before the surgery of the risks I was taking and that would be an option if it didn't work out right. At least I had tried to transition. I wasn't thinking very rationally between the drugs, pain, and shock to my body.
The things we put ourselves through...
It wasn't until the Dr. doing the rounds checked my roommate and said they looked exactly the same size of swelling, that I started to think it was okay.
Then back at the residence the nurses all assured me my result was normal, and good, in fact. So I finally let go of that fear.
Here is another thread with missing posts. There are some quotes about me where the source is missing.

QuoteI had the stent removed on Monday which was such a great relief, and the catheter on Tuesday. So each day brought big gifts.
And I was finally able to sleep once back at the residence in a private room.
Began dilation 3 days ago, am in awe of everything actually. Even through the swelling, bruises, stitches and other surgery effects, the result is beautiful to me ...as I see how it may be, through all that, once it is healed.
Pain is at a discomfort level with only taking Tylenol now. There is certainly at times more pain, but is manageable.
My smile was shaken for a while from the lack of rest, but it's back now and getting stronger each day.
I will share more once I am home and am comfortable. Thanks for thinking of me.
Still walking funny,

I'm still trying to find the right depth and pressure. I seem to have lost depth, but I think it is more that the swelling has gone down greatly. Measuring from the side, it seems I lost 1/2" at least ...possibly a little more. But logic tells me it's the swelling of the labia that confuses the measuring.
Another thing I am trying to learn is how much pressure to bear. I want as much depth as possible, so I am tempted to stretch the wall and keep pressure. But that is not good I think.
Maybe our dilators are differnt. I use two different sizes. #1 is easy. #2 is tight and I can't go quite as deep.
Who knows. I know many, many posts are gone. Its all messed up. Thanks for looking into it. It could well be there is nothing we can do.
At least the current readers can get a sense of what SRS is like (the topic of the thread) from some of the few saved quotes.
Okay. Thanks for looking into it.
goodnight.
Luckily you don't "feel" anything as long as you have a good anesthesiologist. ;)
No, but seriously, waking up and seeing my new bandaged parts was completely life-altering. I will never be able to experience childbirth and know what that is like, but I think that seeing my new vagina was my own little moment comparable to holding a newborn baby for the first time. When I adopt a baby of my own though, I'm sure that feeling will surpass it. :)
To answer the question in a more specific way.
After srs you feel woman.
Transition is the past now, you have just passed the finishline after a long marathon.
I was feeling a woman my entire life but after srs I really was a woman with the womanly anatomy bits.
No one will believe me but it makes such a big different, I can't really explain but everyone who had srs knows excactly what I mean.
One will see the world in a totally different perspective.
hmmm.......what does SRS feel like? well, for one, there is very little physical pain. I had a reaction to the adhesive holding my packing in and my butt cheeks were on fire for 5 days. you wake up post op with about 10ft of packing and a catheter in place. I was up and walking within 24 hrs of surgery, not much though. the appearance (at first) is the most disgustingly beautiful thing you've ever seen. there's alot of swelling the first few days so it looks more like a camels toe than anything.
for me, my first "real" sensation was when I had my first dilation routine. just a little painful, but very satisfying!
mentally, nothing but pure joy. I did experience a bit of depression about 5-6 weeks post op that lasted a few weeks. all of a sudden, this goal I've been trying to reach for such a long time had been accomplished, then I had a void.
feels magical :D
Amelia, I saw Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn in Phucket Thailand. The surgical cost was 12,000, plus 1,258 for the ticket and some spending money for fun and a room for a month. You should be able to do it all for under 15K Dr Sanguan took skin grafts from both of my inner thighs to line my vagina, along with some scrotal tissue and the perineum flap. At four months the scars from the donor sites are still visible but are fading nicely. I'm very pleased with both him and his staff. His approach to treating patients comes from his Buddhist beliefs and he treats his patients like a member of his family. Which I found not only pleasing but very calming, as I have a general fear of doctors and surgery. So this aspect of his nature helped me a great deal. I see an OBGYN for my hormones and he saw me to re-evaluate my hormone dosage and during the exam he noted that Dr. Sanguan's work was the best he'd seen from Thailand, and that it rivaled the best work he'd seen done here in the states. He called his technique ingenious and was VERY impressed, especially so soon after surgery. One month post-op. He even asked his nurse Karen to look and all she could say was WOW, I bet you're going to be so happy when you finally heal. Dr Sanguan's staff of nurses are just wonderful people. We socialized and interacted a great deal during my stay. Before leaving, we had a bit of a party. I love Asian food, especially spicy Thai food, and I was given a take out menu from one of the nurses and ordered a huge sushi platter and we sat around eating sushi and meals the nurses brought from home. It was a very rewarding experience in and of itself. I'm now friends with many of the nurses on Facebook and we still chat every now and then, and they want to know when I'm going back to Thailand.
I would like to add that today is the 4 month anniversary of my surgery, and I'm very very pleased with both the physical and mental results. I'm able to climax which is great, and from talking to other post-ops I seemed to have healed very rapidly in that regard. I believe this is both in part to Dr Sanguan's technique, and me being a fast healer. Dr. Sanguan took note of this during my stay and said we were a good team :) I do however plan to have a 2nd surgery sometime in the following year to deepen my vagina as I'm just over 5 inches deep and my fiance is rather well endowed. I had no problems accommodating his girth at the three month mark when we were able to have sex, but only just over half of his length. I love Norm with all my heart and want to be able to receive all of him when we make love. Even though he says it's not necessary, I plan on having the revision to deepen my vagina. I have not decided on whether I'll go with another full thickness graft or a sigmoid graft to to add more depth. Both should add about the same amount of depth, about another 3 inches. It's really a question of costs and down time for healing as the sigmoid graft is more invasive than a regular graft.

::) No doubt very painful if one is awake...However I was asleep at the time so it's no good asking me ;) ;D
::) Oh wait ! Are you talking in a sexual experience sense ? In this case I still wouldn't know...

All aspects. Like how does it affect you mentally.
It felt painful and numbness at first, a sureal moment, but as I got use to my new vagina and my boyfriend reaction at the time, ''wow nice pussy'' lol I felt finally complete as a woman, everyday got better as I healed, after srs I felt I was now completely all woman.

The most interesting feeling occurred at post op day 7 when they put me in the stirrups and proceeded to extract all manner of detritus and manipulate stuff and stick metal things in there.......woohoo!!!
