Hi Patience
DR Meltzer in Scottsdale Arizona did my vaginalplasy on June 5th 2006, and I was a little frightened because of the next day being 666. The recovery from my vaginalplasy went great. The first day after my vaginalplasy surgery. I was confined to bed and on an IV drip of dilaudid so I had no pain. The second day I was up and walking around the hospital with no problems. The first time I got out of bed it hurt a lot because they took the IV out. On the 6th day DR Meltzer and Linda Takata took the catheter, and dressings out and I had to start dilating. I had to dilate four times a day for I think about two weeks which got old quick. I used the small dialater first then the tapered one next. I worked my way up to the biggest dialater which is a number four. The number four is the biggest in your cloth pouch that DR Meltzer gives you. I was able to use the number four dilating after I worked my way up to it I also bought the biggest dialater they make which is a number five. It cost me about $120.00, and is about 8 inches long. I worked my way up and I now have a depth of eight inches. The recovery was not that bad, but dilating was probably the worse for me. I had my Labiaplasty on April 15th 2009. The Labiaplasty was not that bad either. I did however get an infection but DR Meltzer prescribed an antibiotic for me. Now that I am all healed up everything looks natural now and I have sex with guys who don't know anything. I had to go last week for a M.R.I on my back for an accident that I had at work and nobody there had the slightest clue. After your vaginalplasy you start to look at life in a different way. In Webster's dictionary A Transsexual is a person who feels like they were born the wrong gender therefore after surgery life takes on a whole different meaning when you get your name changed, social security passport, and birth certificate changed you are legally female, so I consider myself to be a straight female and not a T/S. Life becomes like you are in the witness program. The only people that know of my past is my co-workers which kind of sucks, but I have a great job that pays a lot of money so I just try to ignore people at work. I wish you all of the luck on your surgeries but keep in mind that once it is done there is no going back. A lot of psychologists are in the practice of diagnosing someone as a transsexual, to make money. If you or anyone else needs any help or questions answered feel free to ask me anything
Sincerely
