Hi, so there seems to be a lot of uncertainty around doctor prae from the Supron Clinic since she started her solo surgeries and how well she would do. Since I am one of the first ones to go through with it, I wanted to share my experiences. I am not going to post photos bc I have some trauma related to photos and videos of my body being taken.

Day -1: Checkin to the hospital around noon and kinda do whatever until 8pm. Thats when they do the enema, which is cleaning your bowels and shaving. I am going to be honest. Both of those sucked a lot. Enema is literally pumping like a gallon of water into your butt so you can empty everything out. You have to do it until it runs clean which took me 5 times. It hurts, its uncomfortable, you feel the water stretching your insides and feels like horrible cramps. The shaving was also quite bad... they used a spray - assuming its some sort of shaving spray -, a trimmer and razer. There was a lot of sharp pains. To be honest I thought it was going to be covered with cuts by the time they were done. They also go over the same area like 20 times... not even like correctly. Normally you shave once in the direction the hair grows then once more in the opposite to get a close shave. They went diagonal and sideways which made it not such a close shave and quite painful. I didn't drink or eat anything after and went to sleep.

Day 0: You wake up shower and then get wheeled off to the operating room. I thought I would immediately be put to sleep but they do things like stabbing the iv into you (which hurts quite a bit), taking your blood pressure and setting up some other things. Once they put the mask on you, your vision instantly blurs and you wake up with everything over. You stay there for an hour or so before going back to your room. Now, this day was by far the worst day for me. Constant pain and nausea. On a scale of 1-10 its an 8 for someone with high pain tolerance. Nausea made it horrible as well. Every time the nurses tried to make me drink water, I threw up within a few minutes. I was mostly drifting in and out of consciousness that entire day but couldn't eat or drink anything. They also check your blood pressure and fever every 2 hours or something that day. I'm not exactly sure bc I was not super aware of anything other than the pain and nausea I felt. Around 8 hours after the nurse finally gave me morphine shot which I didnt really notice bc I fell asleep.

Day 2-4: Nausea was better and pain was still bad for these days. If the pain got to like a 4+, I would just call the nurse for some painkillers, same for nausea. Nothing much happened these days besides some suicidal thoughts (some personal things were happening) which a psychiatrist gave some meds for.

Day 5: Outside bandages came off. Dr bank was the one to do it. It didnt hurt too much, just a light sting every now and then. I showered that day with the help of some nurses and went back to being bored. The psychiatrist mentioned the nurses said my results already looked really good bc there wasnt too much swelling. I was kinda too scare to look or move much so I trust their word. It did already feel apart of my body, a painful part but nonetheless, felt really natural.

Day 7: Discharge day! They inject painkillers around 7 and Dr Prae came an hour after to remove the catheter and packing also to explain dilating. Taking out the catheter was painful but only lasted like 3 seconds. The packing took awhile but was not painful at all. It was like a weird sensation of like a string of balls being taken out. My depth ended up being 14 cm (169 cm height for reference). Using the bathroom the first time was quite scary and still is but not really different than before. Just it tends to drip down to my butt every time. I went back to the hotel and around 3 had to dilate again with the help of staff guiding. It is quite uncomfortable and painful but just within my tolerance. The cleanup and setup is ironically quite relaxing to me.

Day 8: I dilated in the first thing in the morning and it was bearable. I'm trying not to use painkillers bc staff told me that I should try not to rely on it and build more pain tolerance. After that I went to the restroom for number 2 for the first time. It wasnt much probably bc I barely ate anything. I also had a checkup with Dr Prae at the clinic to remove the outside stitches and checkup. Removing stitches didnt hurt maybe a just a few sharp pokes. Dr prae said everything looked good but there might be some separation later which can be fixed with some stitches.

Day 9-10: There is quite a decent amount of lingering pain, but I'm avoiding using painkillers as much as possible. Maybe once a day or every other day besides the one that says to take with breakfast and dinner (they give you 4 types of painkillers). I also have like 3 cold packs that I'm alternating between. It helps a lot with pain and probably swelling too. Dilating hurts. It feels like someone is crushing your insides. A good comparison would be pressing your thumb as hard as you can into your arm. That type of pain and discomfort x10 and inside your stomach. My time to depth is between 5-10 minutes. I took 12 minutes once and staff was like go faster! Its bad to go too slow. So everytime I exhale I try to push it a bit deeper similar to how you would go deeper into a stretch. It hurts a lot but I just try to push through the pain. The feeling of taking it out hurts probably because its rubbing against some stitches. I also already have some separation happening but they said its fine. Doctor Prae will look at it next checkup and maybe add stitches.

Misc: - Dr Prae is extremely nice and considerate. She is professional and I find it a lot more comfortable to have a female doctor attend to me due to some past experiences. I've hear Dr Banks beside manners isn't good but from my brief meeting with him he seemed fine. - Aesthetics: From looking at photos of early bank around 7 days - 2 weeks. I'd argue mine looks better but thats mostly its not as swelled as other people. I can't say in the long term if it will be better, equal, or worse but I plan on coming back for a revision anyway. - Hospital food: International food menu sucks. A lot. I didn't try the thai menu but my lack of appetite and horrible food meant I basically only ate one slice of bread and a handful of potatos/fries everyday. The juiceboxes were nice though, grape tasted the best in my opinion. I didn't mind it that much because I want to lose weight anyway. - Nurses and staff are really nice~ I kept having a breakdown so I ended up chatting with the psychiatrist and she was really nice too - The other patients here seem really nice but I'm too scared to talk with any of them! I also have selective mutism which doesnt really help but they all seem really friendly and supportive of each other from what I saw.
