Long time listener, first time caller.

I've been on HRT for 13 years, I'm in my early 30s, medically insignificant otherwise (in good health and active), and recently was discharged from Henry Ford in Detroit after having PPT vaginoplasty with Dr. Tepper and Dr. Shakir. I had also previously gotten BA with Dr. Tepper in February of this year. I'm posting this because there seems to be little to no information about this program on this subreddit.

Recovery consisted of 6 days in the hospital, and the first two were the worst days of my life. Pain, discomfort, loneliness, fatigue - mostly the pain. Day three a nurse helped me bathe, I finally got to eating, and woke up my digestive system.

From then on, it was a breeze. Kept up, moving, eating, watched a couple movies. Dilation has been easy except for a piece of raw skin just above my canal that is stopping me from sizing up, but I'm putting Neosporin on it to encourage it to heal so I can. Speaking of, the team is incredibly responsive when you have questions - they've never taken more than a few hours to get back to me.

I don't plan on posting pictures out of interest of my own privacy, but I will say that they were miracle workers. Aesthetically, I couldn't be happier. It's like they read my mind when I imagined it.

I have seen a few posts about the doctors listed not being the ones who perform the procedure. There was a whole team in the OR. I can confirm that Dr. Tepper and Dr. Shakir were the only surgeons working on me. I read the notes in their entirety.

I'm only just now a week after the surgery, so I've got plenty of recovery to go, but the fact that all bruised and swollen and full of stitches it still looks amazing, I can't wait to see what I look like three months from now.

PS - Briar is the GOAT, I know you can't acknowledge me but I do hope you see this.
