Here are some basic facts:

  • method was penile inversion
  • I opted for full-depth rather than a vulvoplasty
  • surgery took 3 hours, though recovery took another hour
  • I went under general anaesthesia and had to be intubated and put on a ventilator
  • I’m currently admitted in the hospital and bed bound, discharge is scheduled for Friday
  • so far pain is between 1 and 3 for me, most of the time it’s between a 0 and 1.

Ask me anything!

    Oh gosh, I hear you on the swimming! I’m a trans guy and my first swim post-top surgery was so much fun. It was way too cold for me to be in that pool and I didn’t give a shit. I hope you have a blast at your body of water of choice!

      ha, that’s awesome - I was always the kid that wore a shirt to go swimming because it felt wrong to go topless. Looking back, there might have been signs, lol

      So glad you had that post-op joy, I look forward to joining you 😁
