My apologies for the repost. I had to take down the original post because I was pretty sloppy and didn't blur any of the faces and it had like patients in there. I've re-uploaded with all the faces blurred except for those I got permission to show.
Documentary about vaginoplasty at Boston Medical Center with Oates/Slama (repost)
Thank you for uploading this, I was planning to start this process at BMC this year. I'll have to watch it when I get home from work. Was it overall a good experience? Outcomes have been ok?
I would say so!
I don't have the vagina I was expecting, which says a lot about expectations. It's more mental effort than I was intending and I'm not đź’Ż sure I was ready for that. But what BMC provides is outstanding and I'm happy with the results.
PM me if you have any questions! And best wishes with the procedure!
The more “mental effort than I was expecting” really hits home. I don’t know if it’s just that it’s hard to understand what people are saying when you read surgery reports without experiencing it, or people just don’t talk as much about that. But yah. There should be pain management courses you can take prior.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been waiting to get my surgery date. My consult w slama was 2 months ago, so HOPING I get a date soon 🤞🏻
Oh best of luck, I hope it's soon! PM me if you ever have any questions!
Thank you. I hope it is too lol. I’ve talked to several of slamas girls, I’m a nurse, and I’ve had BA and FFS so I feel pretty comfortable but I’ll def reach out if I think of anything!!
Thank you again for taking the time to film/edit/etc your experiences. This is one of the most in-depth journals I've seen, and it's very helpful for those of us who are just starting our transition!
I was glad to. Thank you, I'm super glad it was helpful!
Watched the whole thing at work. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m very happy for you.
Thank you so much for watching!
