After a year from when I scheduled my initial consultation to now, it finally happened! The procedure took about 5 hours at Henry Ford doing the robot assisted hybrid PPT-PI vaginoplasty. Currently in recovery for about 6 days before I’ll hopefully be discharged to go home to continue my recovery.
The buildup and anticipation leading up to the surgery date was probably the worst part so far. My pain is currently tolerable, but we’ll see how it is once I need to start moving around more 😅

Congratulations! Please take care of yourself as you recover and go easy on your pain (excess pain inhibits recovery, so take your meds as instructed).
Congrats. I wish you a speedy and smooth recovery.
Wow 6 days, you’re lucky. I only got 2 nights in the hospital approved from my insurance, though they will likely eventually pay for the third because I nearly passed out in the lobby sitting in a wheelchair waiting for a Lyft ride to the AirBnB I had to pay for myself to recover locally. Hospital is still fighting them over it since October.
I had full depth PPT. And though I didn’t have complications with the vaginal canal, I’m anxious to get some revision on the labia and clitoris so I can maybe start dating again. I miss cuddling and sex. Lol. But even with the complications, I’m still super happy I did it. I feel like it made me feel more free to be myself even if few people have even seen it outside of healthcare providers. I’ve worn more skirts, dresses, and makeup than ever. 😁
I hope healing goes well for you. It’s a long process so dont get frustrated if you have setbacks. It’s so worth it!!! Rest, drink lots of water, dilate regularly, and enjoy the downtime. It goes by quick.
Congrats!
Imagine needing a surgery to be a bottom. Congratulations though
She could still be a top.
I’m both ;)
Welp once you’re 100% and around the Rockies hit a brother up :p
That’s what top surgery is for, isn’t it?
No Silicone.
Post about bottom surgery
Look inside
doesn’t show bottom
Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
I’m still waiting for mine to be scheduled, maybe within the year if I’m lucky.
I have a question for you, and if it’s too personal, I apologize. I’ve known a few people who have had limbs amputated, and they have at least some “phantom limb” feeling leftover even though the limb is completely gone. Are you experiencing anything like that with the parts that were removed?
Not OP but I had surgery a couple years ago. I had phantom dick for 2-3 months and it was really weird while it lasted. It wasn’t a constant sensation or anything just periodically my brain would fill in what it expected something to feel like (such as putting on undies) then there would be a moment of confusion. Sometimes it was like my balls were itchy but I had no balls.
The real trip though has been over the last couple years my brain has been replacing memories of my previous equipment with the new gear. It’s led to some disjointed memories where I might be in a sexual experience that doesn’t work without a dick but try as I can to remember it accurately I just get a paradox.
wow, that’s mad. I never thought of phantom sensitivity in this context. Phew
So far, I can’t say that I have. Granted, it hasn’t even been 24 hours since I came out of surgery as of right now. There was this sensation that almost felt like a had a sore penis at first, but I think that was pressure from the catheter that has subsided.
There’s discussion about that here. Warning: reddit
Thank you, I’ll go through that post. I appreciate you linking to it.
Doesn’t happen to people because the majority of tissue here is moved not removed
You look so happy!!! Congratulations and hope you to recover well!!!
yay! I’m slowly getting more antsy to get bottom surgery, its nice to hear things went well for you :)
Congrats! Heal and rest well.
Congrats it’s always nice to see people people happy :3.
I’m not sure if I will ever get bottom surgery. But I’m glad for you!
I’m so delighted for you! Thank you for letting us enjoy this moment with you! ❤️
I’m also going to Henry Ford! Mine will be next year. So happy for you, you are glowing!
You’re going to do great! HF has been incredible so far. Once my bandages come off and the wounds healed some, I’d be glad to share results
Oh wow that is very kind! I appreciate that :) Good luck on your recovery! 🩷
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you, wishing you the best of luck in your new life now ☺️
