Hi all!
Well it's been 8 weeks and two days (but who is counting) since having gcs with Dr. Ley.
First off I feel 100% amazing since undergoing the procedure. Things I have learned...
Follow doctors orders rest when done, don't over do it.
Ice is your friend for about a month.
Dilatation can be fun after a time.
Salt water baths will help you heal much faster.
Clothing fits so much better.
I feel so much better not having to block testosterone, my moods are better, my skin feels better etc.
People will ask a lot of stupid questions if they knew you prior.
#1 answer no, they do not cut it off it is dissected and the parts from a clitoris and vagina.
But the best part of it all is that I am me 100% now.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Hi Margret,

   I am so glad you are healing well and feeling good about who you are now. That is all any of us what to be isn't it? We live so long as someone else that at times we don't even know who we are. We become lost in our own heads trying to be who others want us to be. You, are past that now girl. You are you and no one is ever going to take that from you again.
   Now what's this about dilating being fun? OMG! No! you're playing with oh gosh I can't even say it! Ha hah ummm have fun girl you've worked for it.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Sounds like your recovery is going well! The play will event better when the nerves around your clit settle down. I am near 11 months post and dilations can be very 'satisfying'! I don't have a partner who is into sharing as you do, so you are in for a real treat!

All the Best! Hugs
