I'm 33, and this is penile inversion.
Not a lot of visible changes over these past three weeks, but there is a bit to report still.
I have these transparent hooks pushing their way out along the external suture lines. They're more annoying than painful, so I'm just putting up with them. I assume they will eventually push their way out like splinters.
I've had my first orgasms! I've had this firm area "behind" my clit/clit hood, under my mons pubis. When I touch it, I can feel the sensation in my clit. I don't remember what lead me to try stimulating it for pleasure, but I'm glad I did. I've had about three orgasms this way, the first of which, I got so wet that I leaked through my undies and pants to soak the sheets.
Dilation has been a complete pain in the ass. Per Dr. Wittenberg's office, this is because the surrounding muscles are constricting down on the canal. It really sucks. It takes like 5 to 10 minutes just to get the damn thing in plus the actual dilation time.
Walking is much better. I'm able to walk a mile (probably could do more but I get bored) at a time, and grocery trips (including the car ride) are no longer an issue. Sitting on hard, upright surfaces gets painful quite quickly though.
I really am impressed! The way DRs are so progressive. When I was younger I was curious to see what GRS had looked like. The progress is incredible. I’m pretty fascinated by surgery. The advancements just amaze me. I wouldn’t be able to tell any different.
It's like magic! It think Staci had it right when they called Dr. Wittenberg a fairy godmother.
And thank you! I'm actually starting to see that myself. Plus it still has another 6 weeks of healing before it's "ready". ("Ready" being 80% healed and safe for penetration.)
Hi! Im seeing Dr Wittenberg this summer (and I still haven’t decided on full or partial depth 😣). I will have a solid six weeks off before I got back to work with the option of taking more if necessary (im a high school librarian so I would rather NOT miss the first day of school). How are things like energy levels, ability to drive, etc? For reference I am 35 and slightly out of shape.
I drove for about 20 minutes with my donut pillow at 5 weeks. It sucked pretty badly, but it wasn't impossible. I've yet to try it since, but I've been riding as a passenger (without my pillow) just fine lately. It might be time to give driving another shot, honestly.
Energy-wise, I'm good while sitting. It's when I'm up moving around for my walks or during shopping trips that I get exhausted. Fortunately I don't have to go back to work because if I did, I'd be dreading it, even though I have a desk job.
From first contact to consolation to surgery how long was the wait?
I don't remember the first part, but it wasn't very long I don't think. Maybe a month to get the consultation? And I think that was largely my choice to get decent flight prices.
At the time, Dr. Wittenberg had a 7 month wait list. I ended up scheduling for 8 months out because of classes and the holidays.
So maybe 9 months from start to surgery?
Can I borrow that? Or, better yet, can I get my own?
It's incredible to see the difference looking back at your 1-2 week posts to now. I'm at 2 weeks at the moment with Dr. Wittenberg (PPT instead of PI) and I'm kind of in misery. Glad to see that it will hopefully be worth it
Damn right it'll be worth it, hun!
Just remember that every week, every day, it'll heal a little bit more which means things will get better.
I am curious though... Did you get a bolster packing as well? I vaguely recall that PPT doesn't require dilation to maintain its width, so I can't imagine it needs packing.
PPT does require dilation though you remember right that it is way easier, at week 2 I'm doing 10 mins, 3x/day. I have absolutely no idea how people do 60 minutes, 10 mins is already agony to me. I also got a bolster packing, probably identical to the PI process
