I’m scheduled for it, and was wondering how your experience was. I’ve heard good things about my surgeon and have full faith in it, just wondering how your recovery and results were!

I’m hoping to work remotely (If I’m sitting around I can surely do some meetings and mess with ansible playbooks) within 4 or so days after, is that something that seems feasible based on your time? Anything you wish you knew ahead of time?

Thanks!

    I had PI vaginoplasty. I was absolutely not capable of working for the first 3 months, and I work remotely. There is so, so much after care required for this surgery. You are going to want to look into medical leave if you have not already.

    My results have been fantastic, partly because of how diligent I was during those first 3 months. Careful what I ate, careful what I did, adhered to my strict dilation schedule, and maintained excellent hygiene. I worked very hard, and my results reflect that.

    When I first went back to work at 3 months it was genuinely very hard. The first 3 months back to work were very stressful, and I was often working 12 hours every day including dilation and after care work. I would’ve taken even more time if I could have honestly.

    But after 6 months things got much easier. Workload was essentially halved by going down to 1 dilation a day, and I’m nearly at a year now and so my dilation routine has lessened even further. I’m extremely happy with my results, and this surgery was the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. Having a vagina is absolutely life changing and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It was worth all the work to be here, and it was a lot of work. Hope some of this helps :)
