Title: 2 Months post op - GCS w Dr Kauhsik at OLMEC in India
Post by: bubbles21 on April 30, 2017, 02:47:45 AM
Hey everyone  ;D

So i thought i would give a little update on my surgeries with Dr Narendra Kaushik at OLMEC in India...

1. Healing: I have been healing very nicely and am extremely happy with my results now that the swelling is starting to go down (just waiting for the left side to subside). I am very lazy when it comes to dilation which is bad but with his technique dilation isn't what it is with other surgeons. My scar from surgery located just above the belt line is fading and the bloating which you get after surgery with him has gone. My clitoral area is extremely sensitive and am still recovering in that area slowly but surely. All in all I am happy with my results but just have to be a lot more strict with my dilation, however, it is comforting knowing that i won't lose depth.

2. Dilation: Dilation when i do it is a breeze. I just find myself starting and stopping because of how busy ive been since ive been home. I still bleed a tiny bit after using the bigger rigid dilators so have made a point to not jump ahead and work my way up to those ones. Pads and lots of lube have been my best friends. Dr Kaushik's dilators range from 7-9/10 inches with different widths as you progress. I find that length/depth isn't an issue for me but width is obvs something that has to be achieved gradually.

3. Discharge/Smell: After the 1 month mark I haven't noticed any smell at all and discharge only happens when i dilate which is just left over lube. My vagina is really self lubricating which im shocked by, as ive read here some girls have mentioned having dry vaginal areas.

4. Sex: Now at the 2 month mark Kaushik says i can have sex but be slow and careful, however, im going to wait a bit longer just because as ive said above im lazy with dilation and id like to go through my full set of dilators first. I do not want any tears or problems, also because one side of my vagina is still a tiny bit swollen id like to wait until that goes down just so i dont have to worry about anything. One thing is that my libido has not gone anywhere, I have played and am able to cum which the sensation was completely awesome lol it's much more of a whole body experience which i dunno was just different but way better than before surgery  ;D

5. Fat redistribution post op? I have noticed that my hips and bottom have grown a little bit since being post op, has anyone else experienced this?

Other surgeries: So i had BA and some FFS procedures done as well and my breasts have settled nicely (500cc), i now sit between a C and a small D cup depending on the bra (my sports bras are a lot more comfortable). My FFS surgeries are healing well, my forehead is still numb from surgery but im starting to get more feeling back there gradually. Hair transplant is going good but this is the one i have to wait for to see full potential as it takes a while to grow to a point where you can style it with the rest of your hair.

All in all im quite happy with my results so far. The functioning and sensate nature of my vagina has really shocked me... in a good way lol Hope everyone is well :)

Hey everyone,

I am at my 3 month post op mark and just wanted to give a little update on some changes i have noticed.

I have noticed dilation is easier, however, the discharge after dilation just irritates me bcz the left over lube doesnt always come out at the same time lol does anyone else have any suggestions on how to deal with this other than just keep changing pads? I've heard negative things about douching and not sure if that should be done but am happy to hear how others handle this? ???

Finally I have noticed the swelling is going down (I still think it will go down more) and things look a whole lot better. The sharp pains that occur have pretty much gone away for the most part and just happen occasionally now, so, my clitoris must be getting itself together lol. Those little sharp pains were horrible lol I am able to orgasm and it's AMAZING lol love it.  :laugh:

Boobies are looking good and sitting right. My head is still numb from hair transplants and forehead procedure. I can tell the numbness is gradually going away. The swelling on my forehead is sort of gone but its still numb lol.

I can do alot more now in terms of physical activity whereas before i'd have to lay down after a bit. Still not exercising yet and have noticed i have put on weight which im not happy about but i know how to lose it so not really worried.

So happy am at the 3 month mark and overall my vajayjay is looking and feeling really good :laugh: I feel like i've knocked down a wall that was holding me back for so long. It's been a journey so up and down that i feel that now I am able to focus my attention on more important things and finally enjoy the ride that is life. ;D

Hey Mona!  ;D

I am glad to hear that you are well and that everything post op is going great for you. I am also 4 months in 4 days and I am also dilating once a day for 15 mins (some times i will just relax and go longer for about 20-30 mins) and it is going really well. I was looking at getting a douche but i dunno which to get or i'll just try to find a generic one lol i dont want to be using it all the time (bcz of the negative things i've heard about doing it too much) but i think it could help with removing lube that is leftover from dilation.

I am so happy that you are able to be active and are just happy enjoying life. I hope we get to meet again sometime soon as well. I will be posting on here about my 'experience' in reference to my first time using my new butterfly soon so keep an eye out for it lol

Take care and speak soon  :-* hugs

So I am now 4 months post op yaaaayyyy  :laugh: ;D ;) :)

At this point i can say that dilation has become a lot easier. The small random pains that were happening have gone away and swelling has gone down a lot! Finally up to using my bigger dilators which is good preparation for when i decide to lose my virgintity  ;D The scar on my tummy hurts sometimes when i do too much like when i dance heaps lol have a tendancy to dance while cleaning. I guess it is still healing. Other than that things are going pretty good.

I bought a vibrator lol one is a bullet and the other a rabbit one, whatever they are called. Anyway the bullet is amazing but havent used the bigger one yet. I have found it takes a lot longer to reach an orgasm than before surgery and that if other things are on my mind then there is no point in even trying bcz it just doesn't happen at all.

I have put on a lot of weight  :'( so now have to start keto and intermittent fasting again.

My breasts are good just waiting for the scars to start fading then will be even happier.

I think i am most happy with my hair transplants lol they are growing so fast and really changing my look.

I have also noticed a positive change in the size of my hips and bum which is really cool  :)

Overall i think i am doing really well in respect to recovery, just need to have some fun with my husband now  ;D

[emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] I'm very happy for you
Hopefully my surgery will turn fine like yours

I have two questions I'm worry about

How is the scar in your tummy does it raise above the surrounding skin or its in the same level ?
Did you gain full sensation in the area down there or still ?

One girl told me the sigmoid colon vagina will only have the clit sensitive and inside will have no feelings is that true [emoji22][emoji174]

And about orgasm lot of girls said they needed longer time to reach an orgasm after their surgery
I guess it's vagina thing taking time and clear of mind to reach orgasm

Thankss gorgeous ❤️

Post by: bubbles21 on June 20, 2017, 07:38:28 AM
Hey hun,

Thanks so much. How are you? I hope all is well.  :)

If i understand what you mean about the scar in that it is not thick and doesn't rise like its swollen constantly then no it is flat like the rest of the skin um it may be swollen for the first few weeks/month but im at 4 months and it is flat.

Yeah i have full sensation, although, it does take me longer to achieve orgasm but i assume that is how it is for most females. The clitoris is very sensative, which i think is amazing  :laugh:

In terms of feeling inside i can say at this point i have sensation inside, judging by how it feels during dilation. I've also heard some girls describe their lack of sensation inside, however, i am unable to relate to that. But yeah orgasm for me def takes more time. I still haven't had sex yet due to me being lazy with my dilations, so i can only judge on orgasms reached through foreplay. They take longer and in my opinion require a lot more focus lol i have noticed i have had one big O and on another occasion a number of smaller ones one after the other.

Hope this helps a bit  ;D I hope your surgery goes well too, remember to be upfront and make sure you relay what you want.  :)

Hello bubbles,

Great to hear you are doing so well!

The sharp pains you experience sometimes is nerve tissue reconnecting - completely normal and will fade over time.

I always use a vaginal douche after dilation to flush out all unnecessary things - using only water will do just fine as long as it is clean - just don't overdo it.

I am now past the 4-month mark of my corrective Sigma-Lead with Dr. Kaushik and I do 2-4 hour bike rides in the Alps near my hometown without any problems. I dilate once a day for about 15 minutes which is more of a meditating time I enjoy - in various ways.

And I really am looking forward to my vulva reconstruction with Dr. Kaushik - I wish he could have performed my SRS in total. His results look so perfect and natural - congratulations on your wonderful butterfly!!!

Enjoy getting back into life now. Hope we will meet again! :-)
Does Dr. Kaushik typically do his surgeries in two steps, or was there something that needed revision or prevented you from being able to get it done in one surgery?

Hey Brooke,

Kaushik can do either a 2 step or a single step procedure depending on what the client wants, however, if revisions need to be done i think it normally ends up being a 2 step process. From my understanding that is why Mona's surgery will be 2 step. I think she had to have something corrected that she had done by another surgeon and will have the final step done soon.

Hey,

I think if you are only getting the GCS procedure you will be able to go back to work in around 3-4 weeks maybe earlier depending on how one heals. I know that girls from India are only in the hospital for 10 days after surgery. I had about 4 procedures done while i was there so it did take me a bit longer to heal but i found that my GCS healed the fastest.

hope this helps, if you have any other q's please ask.

Kind regards,
B  :-*

Hey Rose,

Thanks  ;D I hope  my posts do help. I think before having GCS surgery ALOT of research is required so that you are able to make an informed decision and in posting my experience here it helps to dismiss some major misconceptions about the sigmoid technique. 

I really hope your surgery goes well and hope that you have had no more issues with contacting them etc. :)

Thank you both! Very helpful. Dr l. Kaushik is near the top of my list as of now.

Bubbles, can you explain the difference in recovery time with the additional procedures you had. Did he perform all procedures at the same time, or were there multiple surgical procedures over several days/weeks.

I am considering him for
GCS
BA
Tummy Tuck/body lift.
And a couple FFS procedures. (Still undecided if there is any need)

How would you rate the aesthetics? Similar to what is posted in his gallery? Within the realm of what a cis female would have? Any drawbacks or benefits to his technique in regards to aesthetics?

Thank you both again, very helpful!

Hey Brooke,

In respect to my procedures, they were done over a month and done with a week inbetween procedures. So, i had GCS, then BA and then my FFS (jaw work, trachea shave, forehead work and hair transplant) procedures. I am not very tolerant when it comes to pain so i might not be the best to ask about recovery lol Kaushik does his BA underarm and this did hurt a bit when i was recovering but the other 2 procedures were fine in respect to recovery. Easiest recovery was the GCS.

In respect to aesthetics I think my GCS results is very similar to a natural vagina, at least in comparison to what i've seen online. I think the closest to my result would be the top pics on page 8 of his results however mine is more defined with less hair and not as dark. I think a major benifit to his technique is the short recovery time lol in respect to aesthetics my result looks 'normal' but every vag i have seen has been different (online that is) never seen one in real life but my husband says it looks natural and loves it and my GP also says it looks normal, she was surprised at the definition it has and how natural it looks.  ;D

I honestly don't have any complaints tbh. I've said above about the scar hurting a little bit if i do too much physical activity but my GP here in Aus says this will go away when i heal fully. I can't think of anything else, like i've seen girls say here that if you have sigmoid you will have a constant leaking vagina and a smelly vagina and things such as this but this never happened to me and i think thats because he improved the technique so that it doesn't happen.

Thanks bubbles! Very helpful, including the comment on your pain tolerance. My own threshold and tolerance happens to be through the roof so that should not be an issue.

One more question. Is there a need for electrolysis, and if so where. I would assume his technique virtually eliminates the risk of hair inside the vagina, but could see a need for the frenum or shaft.

Hey Brooke  ;D

See hair removal is something i wish i had done beforehand, and i think it needs to be done everywhere except for the top area if you'd like to have some hair there. Now I wish i hadn't have been scared prior to GCS and just went ahead and got it done lol It's great you are thinking about this before getting surgery, i'd def do it if you can. Just do everywhere and leave a little bit at the top lol  :laugh:

Do you think the hair removal could be done after if need be? For instance with a penile inversion technique if there is hair on the donor material your at high risk for having hair growth inside the vagina that requires medical attention rather than any willing electrolysis tech. Thinking that with his technique that would be a non issue. I still plan to get electrolysis in the area, in fact I've already stated but if scheduling would was easier before all hair removal was complete it would be nice to have the option to finish it after surgery. Thanks for answering all my questions!

I was really scared about hair removal.  I'd had my faced Lasered 12 years ago and that was not easy. I thought my bottom would be awful. The newest laser equipment is making it a breeze compared to my face. 

The state of the art Laser equipment suctions about a one square inch section up tight and then zaps it. I just had my second clearing Monday and she did the entire area in about 15 minutes!!  She's done 24 other women prior to surgery.  I'm having 2 more clearings and I'll be done.  This state of the art Laser process has cost a fortune ($750) but has been well worth it. . .

That must be fairly new.  I don't recall that sort of thing when I went for laser a few years ago.  One thing I noticed is that some areas, such as where the bone is close to the surface, hurt a lot more than other areas.  For example, my ankles hurt a lot more than my genitals.

Wow, I have been so busy lately with studies and running our company that i forgot to do my 5 month update.

For the first time ever in my life i have experienced what a UTI feels like... and i HATE it! It's mostly gone now but before i got on antibiotics it was just constantly needing to pee, however, i didnt get the pain some get with a UTI.

Still haven't had sexy time with my husband yet and probs won't until i pick my act up with dialation, we did try but I am too tight. I think maybe i should have dialated beforehand tbh. Foreplay and other activities suffice though.

In respect to my vagina and everything down there, all is well expcept for the stupid UTI ::) I do wish I did have hair removal beforehand, because now it's just another hassle i need to take care of. 

Some questions for those who read this and may have answers; Any suggestions of probiotics to take with antibiotics (cephalexin)? Do you recommend continuing dilation while treating a UTI? Any general advice on UTI's? i've read online that they can be recurring sometimes?  :-\

Oh yeah, my boobs are fabulous, hair transplants are excellent although on one side i think i may have an ingrown hair  lol my forehead surgery results are finally starting to show. With my forehead it looked as though there was a small drop in the surface in a tiny area which i was going to email my surgeon about, however, i remember reading some girls on here say wait for the results to come through and funnily enough the little drop in that area has evened out with the rest of my forehead. ;D

I am back on my keto diet, starting at 78kgs  :embarrassed: and am enjoying it. I mostly need to lose belly fat, just don't want to lose my booty  ;D I think i would like to go down to 70kgs, however, toning and losing fat are my priorities atm.

Anywho, I hope everyone is happy and enjoying life  :)

Until next month, Ciao Bella  :-*

Sometimes UTIs just happen but there are things that help as I went 33 years before I got my first one. Wipe front to back and never reuse toilet paper. Keep it clean down there and make sure all the skin folds are taken care of. Drink plenty of water and after you dilate or have sex, pee to flush anything out of the urethra that might have gotten in there. Also it help if you wear cotton underwear as it wicks moisture away preventing bacteria growth. Yes, I know the nylon ones are sexier but cotton is better.

As for probiotics, I have never used them with an antibiotic because your body will replace the required bacteria soon enough but if you want to take something, it wouldn't hurt.

Hey Dena,

Thanks heaps for the response. I will def take your suggestions on board. Yeah I actually prefer cotton to nylon so no probs there, but I have increased my water intake and been taking some vitamin c tabs. The symptoms have almost gone but i have to finish my course of anti biotics.

I thought of taking a probiotic to help the regrowth of good bacteria as i understand antibiotics to wipe out all bacteria good and bad. It just sucks though because i never get sick, only an ear ache every year around winter but i never even got that this year.. yet (touch wood), but it's winter here in Australia now so we shall see.

Thanks heaps for responding  ;D

Take care x

Hi Bubbles!

I am also from Australia, almost 1.5 month post op with Dr Kaushik.

Do you mind if chat? I can't figure out how to post PM - sorry.

Hope you are well now and back to normal 🙏

Hey there,

Yeah sure just ask any questions you have here and i will respond, however, if you need to chat about private matters then you will have to wait until you have made 15 posts.

I am doing fine but extremely busy. I hope your surgery went well and I know you are probably going through everything 'recovery'. Anyway, i look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Bubz

Bubbles, how is the tightness so far and is intercourse possible now?  Does dilation help make it less tight?

Congratulations on your successsfull GCS.
I al also considering visitign Dr.Kaushik for my GRS soon.
May i ask what the wait times for your surgery were?
Can you reocmmend any hotels for a stay?

Also i have a somewhat unusual question.
I hear a lot of people discussing the abdominal scar.
I however have durign my transition lsot a substential amoutn fo weight and i am nto sure yet but i might be in need of a tummy tuck which leaves a rather wide scar anyway.
I havent seen the incision from a sigmoid colon vagionplasty yet but do you think the part of skinw oudl be removed in a tummy tuck operation anyway?

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well  :-*

I haven't been around in months due to 'life' lol. Just wanted to provide an update on my results with Kaushik re GCS, BA and FFS.

GCS - My vagina is doing great, im still lazy with dilation and i hate it. I ended up buying some soul source dilators and wow they hurt. I've only tried number 2 lol it had me so sore lol. I am thinking about getting some prescribed numbing gel to use while dilating. I think because i take such long breaks in between dilation i still bleed a tiny bit after dilation (have inspected for granulation tissue and it's not that, thankfully). I will ask anyone who has experienced this, whether after dilating did you swell? i find that its a bit harder to go to the toilet and i've put it down to me being silly and using a larger dilator after not dilating for so long. I haven't lost any depth or anything like that it's just a lack of consistency with dilation. I am able to have amazing orgasms and have amazing sensation, the aesthetic is great but i am thinking whether i want to reduce my labia majora, it's not huge but i personally am a fan of the smaller labia majora's that can be seen on results online. Discharge is something i was asked about quite a bit here and i can say it stops. The discharge stops quite quickly but my vagina cleans itself out weekly, which i see as a positive. How did you all deal with dilation? i can't stand the sight of blood, even the smallest amount. How did you get to the biggest soul source dilator? lol it scares me. I was thinking about using them just for the vaginal entrance to increase width because length isn't an issue, any thoughts on doing this? Anyway, i am happy with my vagina but could return for some minor touch ups if i want to be picky lol.

BA - Ok, so with my breasts i have found that my breasts took a while to fall into their natural pockets and i have noticed they have gotten softer over time, they're shaking now haha :) but... one of my breasts did have stretch marks on it which i believe is a result of the implant being too large for my chest. I will say though, my skin is very prone to stretch marks and its always been that way but anywho, if you ever experience this girls, Palmers cocoa butter is your best friend! One last pooint, i have noticed that my left breast has fell into what i think is its pocket and moves very freely whereas my right breast hasn't done it as much, it just sits nice and perky but jiggly as well lol, i mean it still moves and is soft but it doesn't move and shake like my left boobie lol anyway i love them, titsianna and booberini.  ;D

FFS - I think it was botox shots in the jawline that kaushik did to soften the muscle or whatever lol i cant tell whether it is still working or what because i've put on weight. My forehead i had done is good, i want to have some extra work done though (either semi-permanent filler or fat transfer) and also want to get some more hair transplants to increase the density in the areas that i got done. But i will say Kaushik can do hair transplants, mine have grown so fast and i didnt follow the instructions in using the rogaine or whatever lol. Other work that i hope to get in the future are a chin reduction and cheek implants and maybe a buccal fat pad removal. OH and my tracheal shave is awesome! my scar is  fading finally, thankfully.

I will say though ladies, if you are going to have sigmoid technique you will need to change your diet. Like, no processed foods or fast food/take away, especially pizza. Stick to chicken/fish/veggies, i made the mistake of over-indulging in fast food and it makes you gassy and blocked and isn't a good feeling at all lol I can eat them now and not have any problems but im 10 months post op, oh and please make sure you drink a whole lot of water, it  is your best friend. Keep in mind im still basically recovering and i don't intend to say im out of recovery until february which will be my 1 year anniversary :)

P.S. any recs on a surgeon who is awesome at BBL or fat transferring? I am worried about having more surgeries done though, I've seen a report released recently like a week ago, a surgeon here in Australia described a patient who went to malaysia to have dramatic weight loss surgery and the day after he arrived back home he died. There was a huge emphasis on the standard of care and the difference between Australia and other countries and the whole idea of flying back home too early after having surgery in a foreign country. I will admit, it scared me a lot. If i'vve missed anything here i'll probs come back and update it  :)

Kind regards,

B  :-*

Hey girl,

When you say the dilators hurt, do you mean the entire length of your vaginal canal, or just the opening? I was under the impression that dilation wasn't going to be painful after this procedure?

Btw, if you're looking for a good BBL surgeon, Dr Aslani in Spain is really good. He did mine, and my body is a curvy hourglass, without looking like.. well, without looking fake. However, my bone structure was very feminine preop, and all my body fat is subcutaneous, which means it was all transferable. What I'm saying is YMMV, and my milage was being genetically blessed beforehand. My body has always been feminine and my bone structre was and is within female norms. If you're built more typically male (ie with a narrow pelvis and no hips, and visceral fat instead of subcutaneous), you won't get the same results regardless of your doctor, and should therefore adjust your expectations accordingly. Dr Aslani, however, is a fat transfer specialist and is currently conducting a study on body feminization for transsexual women. I know because he told me when I was there and begged to use my body as an example of what is achievable haha!

Isabella, how long ago did you have fat transfer with Dr Aslani? I'm curious what the result is like long term. Most of the reviews I found were very early.

I'm approaching the 6 month mark! I still have the same measurements around my butt/hips as I did about 3 weeks post op, which is the first time I measured myself, because I wanted to make sure all the immediate swelling as gone before I did. I have lost some side booty fat, I can see that because I kiiiiiind if have a slight hip dip when I do certain movements, but my measurements have been 46" since 3 weeks post surgery, basically.

It would be really nice if you could make a post about all this sometime and follow it up over a year or two. He's not very well know yet, but I suspect  Dr Aslani is going to be getting a lot more attention over the next few years.

Can any of you speak to the sanitary conditions you experienced with Dr Kaushik?

I've read reviews which stated nurses failed to glove up, wash hands, would drop needles, or even lick their fingers.

I REALLY want to go to Dr Kaushik but am very concerned about sterilization, infections, etc during surgery and during aftercare.

Have these conditions improved as Olmec is trying to market more towards western countries?

Thanks for all the great information!

Hey girl,

Sorry about the late response.

Your question re dilation hurting, i would say that it doesnt hurt if you keep up with your dilation schedule, I have stopped and started and been so lazy with dilation due to being busy with other things. The pain is swelling after not dilating for ages and jumping in with a larger dilator. Do not do this lol Start at the lowest dilator and work up to the largest again if for any reason you have to stop for any amount of extended time. Thanks so much for the bbl rec, i will check them out they sound really good in your description of them, i've never heard of this surgeon but will have a look.

Kind regards,

Bubz.  :)

Hey,

I would say that the sanitary conditions are definitely not up to mark when compared to western countries. But this can be tackled by constantly reminding them to sanitise/ wash their hands, not to use dropped needles. Of course, it ain't easy as it sounds as you would be recovering and mostly in rest when they administer injections. It helps if you have someone along. It can be a little annoying to keep reminding them, but in the end depends on the alternatives you have - with regard to surgeons. I personally, given a choice, would consider long term results and probably keep a close watch on the activities of the nurses

To answer to your question, the sanitary conditions aren't really good. Would give 4-5 out of 10, but would still go ahead if I were sure about the results (which at the time I think I did).

Thank you so much for the reply. That says a lot about the outcome you received. I've felt very similar. It seems like a general consensus for those that have gone to him that yes the sanitary issues are real, but even so, the benefits outweigh the risks, which is the conclusion I keep coming to as well.

When was your surgery with him? Anything you wished you'd handled differently?

Thanks again!
