Title: Had my SRS today
Post by: Lara1969 on July 08, 2014, 12:59:34 PM
I am so happy! I cannot believe that it happened so fast, Dr. Schaff has a long waiting list.
My depth is currently 20cm achieved with his combined method which is very similar to Suporns chonburi flap. The depth should be sufficient even for porno stars :-)

I already could get up and walk a few steps ynd I got a Dinner. I do not have pain, just after surgery I felt some pain but I fot a stronger medicine and now I am pain free.
I can't wait to see me new Vagina when the stent is removed in five days.

I am sooooo happy!

Congratulations Lara and wishing you all the best for a speedy and trouble free recovery. For those of us who had quite a long wait between getting a date for surgery and the getting it done, you story is really quite extraordinary. No time for worrying or second thoughts and now it's done!  :)

Congratualtions and best wishes to you Lara!

I also booked SRS with Dr Schaff, but he is so booked up that my planned surgery date is in February 2016! :(

The only positive thing about that is that I have more time to save money... The Austrian health insurance isn't willing to cover surgery in Germany even though there's an EU Directive that should make this possible. And the costs are quite high - EUR 18.000 only for the first surgery.

I am very interested in hearing about your progress. Perhaps you also want to write a few words about your surgery?

It is day 3 post op. I feel much better but still stuffed up. I only had pain shortly after surgery so pain is not an issue. I also can walk around in the hospital since day one. I looking forward to have the stent removed on Sunday. This will help a lot because it us an ugly feeling with the stent inside if me. Currently I cannot see how my vagina looks I will have my first look when the stent is removed which covers everything. The depth should be very good as I heard.

The staff here us extremely nice and helpful.

Hi again Lara.
Good to hear all is going very well indeed and I must say I 'm very impressed that you are up and around so fast. I think it's the first time I have seen that on any of the reports here and I'm not looking forward at all to being totally confined to bed for 4-5 days after my own surgery which is now only a few weeks away.
Since your first post I looked up Dr Schaff http://en.dr-schaff.com/?id=e27bb&s=nature (http://en.dr-schaff.com/?id=e27bb&s=nature) and saw that he did surgery in two steps. Is that still true today?
Wishing you all the very best!

Yes he is doing two surgeries. After the first surgery you gave a nice vagina with a great depth and full sensation. During the second surgery he is making minor correction especially on the inner and outer labia. Usually than with a perfect look. During the second surgery he is also doing a breast augmentation with the patient wishes one.
The results are far better than anythink I saw besides Suporn.
