Thanks everyone. I got discharged from the hospital today. Did my first two dilation sessions, and they weren't painful at all. All I felt was some pressure when I reached the end of my vaginal cavity (which is 7 inches exactly).
All swelling aside, Dr. Suporn gave me a very natural looking vagina and my labias are long enough to cover my vaginal opening similarly to how a natal female's vagina is. My clitoris is sensitive, but my labias are very swollen and don't have any feeling right now. I'm not too worried. I also have almost no visible scar. The scars doesn't go past half way up my vagina. They are like 2 inches long, from vaginal opening forward. Looking from the front, they are not visible.
I am so pleased with Dr. Suporn that I don't know what to say or think. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants MtF SRS. The staff is amazing. Dr. Suporn visited me everyday in the hospital (can't say for the hotel cause it's my first day in the hotel). The clinic staff visited me a couple times every day during my stay the in hospital, as well as having one clinic staff member sleep in the room the night after surgery. The clinic is gorgeous, and Thai Tea is delicious.
Peeing is a little hard as my urethra is a little swollen still, but it comes out generally pretty straight, although sometimes it kinda sprays in a circle all over the place. It's been getting better all day.
The hotel is pretty nice, normal hotel. Nothing to complain about really except for the water and the internet. You get two bottles complementary a day for drinking, but you have to pay for anything more and it's kinda pricey. Order water by the case from the clinic as it's pretty cheap. Might even be cheaper at 7-eleven. The internet costs about $95 for 30 days (in hours) of internet time. It's totally worth it, but expensive. Breakfast is pretty good. The usually have at least one kind of american style food (pancakes [super good], french toast, etc). They also have omelets made to order, eggs, rice and chicken, greens and pork, cereal, yogurt, delicious juice, all sorts of goodies. I love this place. The view beneath the hotel is so-so, but the back ground is gorgeous. I love Thailand.
The hospital is pretty gorgeous. It's currently under renovations so some rooms have a couple extra things in them that are being stored there. X-ray room for example had a stack of chairs. No big deal. Everything was sterile, they all wore gloves, and opened all sharps in front of me. Most nurses wore the masks too. The hospital room is very nice, and the bed is super comfy. I have to admit, I was the first patient to try out their new air bed and it was totally awesome. If they get good feedback (which they did from me) they are going to get them for all the SRS patients rooms. The nurses were very prompt when I called for them, and stuck to a strict painkiller schedule. I was only allowed so much morphine, paracetamol, and tramadol. I thought the food was very good, and the menu was pretty awesome. My only complaint about the hospital is the internet. about $6.00 a day for internet. About $50 for my 8 days in the hospital. To me, it's totally worth it. I needed to keep in contact with my friends and family.
Also, there is a safe in the hospital room and the hotel room large enough for my tote purse full of stuff, my macbook, and my dilator box.

Congrats Valerie E.
I am so envious.
Time for me to get to work and save some $$$.
Or, can I finance this over 60 months?
I wish he offered financing, but it's totally worth it. You should take a loan or do something to finance it. It's very much the best decision I've ever made. I'm glad I chose him.
Oh and guys, can we keep on topic. I don't want people flaming eachother, especially when this is a happy time for me. Please, if you want to bitch at eachother take it to PM's.
