Major changes: 1. Almost all stitches have fallen off 2. Sitting is no longer an issue 3. Bruises are all healed 4. Aesthetics. I would give 2/5 to the initial result but 4/5 for the aesthetics now
Remaining problems: 1. Running is not comfortable yet 2. Orgasm still not achievable
what about running is not comfortable at the moment ? and is hiking/walking comfortable ?
I haven’t tried hiking, but walking is completely ok.
It would be helpful to go back to the previous posts and link them forward.
Looks great so far! Just an anecdote, I’m about 3 months postop and can comfortably run like I used to. So you should be recovering soon!
Went from very angry looking to pretty in 50 days.
I think you progressing great. I hope with time it meets all of your expectations. 10 days until it’s my turn.
I'm just under the three months mark! Happy to read you are more and more excited with results and hope that continues. I still feel a silly tingling numbness when I run. Same with my sensation but it's just not there yet. Standing with you. 🧡😸
Woah huge difference!! Really shows how complicated the healing process is!
This is actually really reassuring as your initial results looked a little scary with all the bruising and what looked like some potential necrosis etc. But she looks just lovely now. So very happy for you. Did I miss where you shared who your surgeon was? I’m always curious.
Dr. Jennifer Anger from UCSD Health
Thank-you! I am primarily interested in vulvaplasty/limited depth GRS. Will add Dr Anger to my list of surgeons. I live in Phoenix, and wish to stay within easy travel distance. How was the level of care at UCSD? How is Dr Angers bedside manor?
The nurse team was great. I only saw Dr. Anger once during the stay and had 3 postop appointments so far.
Thanks for such a quick reply. You must have a great sense of relief to heal so well.Two more questions, does Dr Anger require hair removal? How long is her wait times for surgery?
Hair removal was not required. But I did home laser for one year before surgery. My wait time was about 2.5 months.
It looks good, seems like your healing process went well. I'm new here, I'm from San Diego. I was already accepting the fact of traveling to San Francisco, but your case with Dr Anger definitely gave me some hope! I'll schedule an appointment tomorrow :)
How are you doing now? It's almost a month since your last update. More progress?
