Super happy with my results so far! The swelling has come down a lot since last week and I can see my labia, which looks wonderful!

Dilation sucks but overall hasn’t been awful. I’ve been able to get up and around a lot more and it feels good to stretch everything out. No complications whatsoever so far!

AMA!

Wow, beautiful for so early after surgery. I am moving to Colo Springs this summer. Can I ask, how long was the wait list for you? And did you get covered by insurance. Feel free ti DM me the answers

Wait list was basically nothing, 3-ish months? All covered by my insurance which is Cigna :)

what dilator did you start with and how soon can you go up? When can you soak in a tub?

They had me start with the green one, going down to blue if it’s uncomfortable. I’d say I’ve been alternating between the two 50/50 or so. I go up to switching between the green and orange one in one month.

Having tried to sit in a tub yet!

OMG, you are so lucky. It is still hell here in NY. I have an excellent surgeon (Manrique) ready to do my zero-depth, approval from my insurance (ExcellusBCBS) and the stupid hospital refuses to schedule "elective" surgeries thatrequire more than a one-night stay. They are still crying Covid short-staffing. This state is hopelessly broken, as is my heart, and I cant wait to get to CO

Looking amazing! I sooo can't wait to get mine scheduled with them - the hair removal process is honestly the most difficult (in terms of time/not knowing when it will be 'done') thing to deal with for me at this point. You give me something to keep the focus though. Truly a beautiful result! 💜💜

Electrolysis was the worst part of this entire process, Surgery recovery included. So you’re almost over the hump :)

Wow! I was certain I’d be traveling for this surgery, but I would love to get results like this in town. Congratulations on such beautiful results!

Just posted a new update pic!

I'm healing great. I'd say I'm mostly back to normal at this point mobility and activity wise. I had a bit of a set back with a UTI a couple weeks ago, but other than that I'm feeling and recovering quite well.
