Megathread SRS and GRS surgeons and associated horrors - the medical community of experimental surgeons, the secret community of home butchers

[glioblastoma multiforme]

The fucking amount of complications that can happen is extremely disturbing,

I know you are new and all, so am i relatively, but have you read any of the thread? Its literally >1k pages of disturbing complications. Its kind of assumed that readers know there will be complications in a surgical horrors thread.

We've had shit exiting by the neovagina, piss exiting by wherever it likes in the neophallus, sepsis, things even more gross and deformed than par for the course (elephant dick is a thread fave but the past few pages is a veritable buffet of freakshows), massive wound separation, literally bell ends sewn on as clits (actually this is all of them but some are more obvious than others), people dilating their urethra by, one hopes, accident, hairy cocks and "vaginas," an entire rainbow of pus, people with multiple complications necessitating months in hospital with "no ragrets" but wanting a total do over. This is a non exhaustive list.

Do you have one that we haven't seen?

For once, I'm actually thankful for my aphantasia.

Spoiler: Feeling down about lack of mobility post op

Hey y’all. Just looking for support I guess. I’m 6 days post op RFF no ul or vaginectomy. I’m feeling some post op depression triggered by my lack of ability to do anything really.

I have done years of research and knew what I was getting into but it’s different going through it finally. I knowww not to compare myself to others and I know it gets better with time but I read some folks are able to stand up alone etc at the point and I still need to be given a big boost out of bed. I had to use a bed pan twice my first day home which was yesterday. My stg feels impossible to walk on at this point.

Any other stories of folks who needed FULL support would be appreciated.

TIA

Spoiler: comment

It blew my mind how much arm function I lost in the donor arm. Couldn’t turn a doorknob or open a cabinet or open the fridge or even pump soap

As long as you're 18, do what you want..

You're not allowed neither in the eyes of god nor the law to murder when you turn 18, and the same should be the case with mutilating your own genitals because the schizophrenic voices tell you to.

6 Weeks Post OP SRS

Howdy yall! Today marks 6 weeks since I had my penile inversion vaginoplasty at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with Dr. Kassis. Functionally everything is working great. No complications with urination, and no problems with dilation. So far I'm up to full depth with the green Soul Source dilator every time i dilate, and am trying to add the largest orange dilator into the rotation.

Overall I've been very satisfied with the results and process. The surgical team has been very helpful and friendly the whole way through. I spent 8 days total recovering in the hospital. For the first 6 days I was catheterized and had a wound vac covering the surgical area with packing inside the vagical canal. Once the wound vac and catheter came out I was able to start walking around, dilating, showering, and urinating on my own.

Recovery at home has been going well, and I just returned to work (for part time shifts) this week. The past 2 weeks I've been a lot more mobile, and pain and swelling have been going down considerably.

My only concern has been some wound seperation at the bottom of the surgical area, with my left labia not fully attached. My doctor said I may need a revision which I'm not thrilled about, but have come to turns with.

Nooo we need d00leys to come back and delude people again…! She even made a video to prove that, nuh uh, you totally don’t lose fine motor skills.

His wound is separating and....he's fine with this. Doctor seemingly isn't even concerned that one whole side is lifting up.

Why would he when he can ignore it and sell a revision for an extra 35k.

What is all that white crap though? Fat? Pus? Scar tissue?

Slough is the dead tissue in a wound site that is peeling off of the healthy tissue underneath...it is basically part of an innate physiological disposal mechanism as part of cleaning up an injury site so as not to give opportunistic scavenger bacteria anything to feast on or dead tissue to hide in.

It is whitish because it is no longer connected to a blood supply and all of the cells within it have died and started breaking down and you still have fibrin remnants (the stuff that forms scabs) in addition to the protein matrix that served as the scaffolding that your cells adhered to.

If you have ever gotten a blister from a second degree burn, slough is the whitish blister bubble of dead skin that separates and then eventually peels away. In the case of severe wounds and injuries, this is on a much greater scale, and must often be surgically removed in the wound-cleaning process to lessen the chance of infection.

u/NVHPhallo is discussing how phallo broke her.
Link | Archive

Spoiler: Do not underestimate phalloplasty.

Hey all - I'm 7 days post op and have been reflecting on my experiences so far.

What sticks out is how my experience differed from what I'd read online, despite nurses and surgeons saying I was very normal.

This surgery is hard. Its the hardest thing I've ever done, and I see a lot of relentlessly positive posts about the experience (mainly in fb groups).

I hit the lowest emotional point I could. You cannot get out of bed for at least 2 days with my surgeons guidance. I was in pain, the painkillers caused unbearable itching. I sat all night just staring straight ahead, unable to calm down.

I had to use a commode in front of the nurse, had to be wiped by the nurse. I was 100% reliant on others and vulnerable.

I look at my dick and it is worth it, but only bc of my debilitating dysphoria beforehand. If my dysphoria had been less, I'd be regretting my decision at this point.

I don't say this to put anyone off, but to make sure we all know what we're getting into

Early days but phallo seems worth it. But it broke me.

and a bunch of comments of TiFs saying similar things

Okay so TMI but I got guts that are upset at everything and I TOLD the nurses after phallo that I didn’t need laxatives because I would just go but they didn’t listen and they gave me (1) laxative and I shit on myself ALL DAY and they kept having to come every 2 hours to clean me up because it was not solid and my ass was RAW from all the wiping. Like this surgery really had me fucked up mentally and emotionally having to rely on people to wipe me. Even after I got out of the hospital my partner wiped me for almost 2 weeks because I just could not and I didn’t even use the arm that I wipe with as my donor arm

I spent 3.5 months in the hospital projectile shiting all over the floor and shaking restless, sweating all night praying for eternal sleep when I was getting off opioids. I was hooked up to so many devices, I felt like Ironman. I almost became religious. I sometimes wonder how this experience will compare when the time comes for me in a few months.

100% I’m right there w you at 6 days post op and I am struggling with the post op depression. I know it will get better and I’m excited for the future but the present is so challenging. I had to shit in a bedpan at home twice bc I struggle so hard to get out of bed. Im so lucky to have my parents and wife to help me but it is still embarrassing and vulnerable to be naked 24/7 around them. I am counting down the day of a small % of normalcy.

I had to lay in bed for 12 days straight after phallo. It totally killed me, I completely understand you. A couple times I had to take medicine to keep me calm since I was just freaking out from having to lay there for so long with nothing. It’s such a huge mental challenge. But it gets better dont worry. Whilst it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done it was totally worth it and I would no question do it again. 7 days is not long…you just have to trust the process, it will be worth it.

It helped to make a small calendar that counted the days before I could leave hospital. Every day was a step closer and it was easier to keep the goal in mind and focus on looking forward. Sleep as much as you possibly can. Listen to boring shit, watch stupid stuff and just try to sleep all the time away. Really try to shift the focus from racing thoughts that keep you awake to something boring and let your mind rest. Certainly easier said than done but it helped to watch really stupid tv and just zone out and eventually sleep. Time goes a lot faster that way. It’s also really good for your body. I drank lots of chamomile tea - I don’t know if it actually helped but I liked the idea that it was calming so I guess placebo and it did actually help.

Sleeping was really the one thing that helped me pass the time since I just couldn’t do anything for so long (wasn’t allowed to sit up to watch on my laptop - only had the shitty hospital tv attached to the bed). If you can ask the nurses for any calming meds, tea, warm blankets whatever will help you sleep. If you have friends/family that come visit ask them to maybe massage your legs or do a face mask with you to help relax/refresh (those are the type of things I wrote in the calendar, small things to look forward to and focus on step-by-step) I can really empathize with how you feel, I know it’s really really tough. Just really know that the pay off is so much greater than your current pain and suffering, I promise you - but it will take some time. Trust the process.

The fact that she's already coping with "if my dysphoria had been less" on the Bingo Card of SRS Regrets makes me think this one is going to eb good.

 

[monstrous bubo]

Early days but phallo seems worth it. But it broke me.

So she wasn’t broken before, she is now, but she doesn’t regret a thing, until she does.

I see a lot of relentlessly positive posts about the experience

There is plenty of correct information out there, but why bother when people are very eager to tell you what you want to hear.

Just really know that the pay off is so much greater than your current pain and suffering, I promise you - but it will take some time. Trust the process.

Three paragraphs of pain in response to a complaint about hugboxing, but she can’t resist ending on the heady fumes of sweet sweet copium.

Good luck with the revisions, li’l pooner!

Again and again you see them having to cope with, confront, adjust to, and accept all the insane unnecessary blood, guts, wound separation, UTIs, loss of function, vulnerability, misery, depression, financial hardship, surgical failure, neurosis, pain, and suffering. And yet for some reason they simply cannot deal and avoid all this by confronting and getting over feeling uncomfy with their natural bodies.

I know troons would say "well that just goes to show how terrible 'gender dysphoria' is! We'd rather suffer this than endure that!"

But I say, bullshit. Anyone who wants to remove and/or mutilate healthy tissue and unnecessarily become a lifelong medical patient is mentally ill. And putting up with pissing blood sideways from a rotting stump doesn't prove you really needed it to survive. You could have just applied that determination to get over having a pussy, but you're insane and society has thrown you to the wolves I guess? But this is all so unnecessary. Either you've got (or can build) the endurance and the stamina to ovecome, or you don't. The people who will actually 41% over not getting surgery end up killing themselves afterward anyway. Because it isn't actually about a need for surgery and never was.

Sounds very empowering, king!

Even her normal arm was fucked up? How high was she on oxy?

HAHA common withdrawls, she's being a dramatic about it.

Totally a guy though! Very masc requests!

 

[Fapcop]

HAHA common withdrawls, she's being a dramatic about it.

Yeah, IDK what the fuck she’s on about.

Heroin and oxy withdrawals take 3-4 days. Morphine withdrawals maybe 5-6. Even if you’re on the liquid handcuffs aka methadone, you’ll get over the withdrawals in a few weeks.

Yet lol’ pooner how wants to tell us she somehow experienced withdrawals for over three months AKA ONE FOURTH OF A YEAR? That’s biologically impossible.

These broads man! Always so dramatic and always wanting to be queen, sorry: Manly king of suffering.

 

[glioblastoma multiforme]

Yet lol’ pooner how wants to tell us she somehow experienced withdrawals for over three months AKA ONE FOURTH OF A YEAR? That’s biologically impossible.

If complying with treatment, yes. But being a pooner, she's probably vastly exaggerating and probably not complying with treatment. The number of people who get drugs delivered to rehab is nuts. Opiates kindle so every time she got a reload she'd have been back at square one.
