    No question, but a suggestion: let people know who your sugeon was, and how they treated and continue to treat you. Come back regularly, talk about any complications you may be experiencing, and how your surgeon is supporting that.

    Theres a lot of surgeons around the world now, but information about haw good they are is still really lacking.

      You are right I should ha e given more information. I went ahead and update the main text but so you have it. Surgery: Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty, Surgeon: Dr. Gerhard Mundinger. I had one virtual appointment in February of this year and in that appointment they helped me find therapist that I cab get with for letters, and place near me to get hair removal. After I got the letters with in about a month (I have been transitioning for years so I had more then enough medial history and information needed that it didn’t take them long to sign the letters). I then spend the next 5 months getting hair removal. Partly though this process my surgery date was set. I then had a physical appointment with my surgeon a week before the surgery. Then I just showed up at the hospital 3 hours before the surgery and from there I just let them do what they needed and slept a lot until I was released 48 hours later. Then I spent a week pretty mush in bed. I have 3 post op appointments with my surgeon. The first one was last week and that’s when I started the process of dilation. Which to be fair has been the most awkward and frustrating part so far. I have my fiancé helping me and honestly without them this whole last week and half would have been near impossible. So above all you need a care taker you can depend on and will be willing to do basically everything for you.
