Hello all!

I’m using an alt to avoid talking about this on my main but I have a date for bottom surgery (Penile inversion vaginoplasty) very soon, and was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice? I’ve read everything they’ve sent me many times through but thought it’d be wise to ask on here too.

I have a week in hospital and then two weeks stuck at home. I have a steam deck loaded up with games and a kindle loaded up with books, ready for the long haul.

Expect a few months before you can do normal activities. Try to have someone available for the first 3 months to help with shopping, laundry, and other things that require lots of bending, carrying, long walks, or stairs. The more of that you have to do yourself the first 3 months, the more risk of complications and excess pain.
