It's been a while since I made a post, so I figured I'd update y'all. I had my abdominal phallo removal surgery in November. I was pretty swollen for a while, but now everything has settled pretty well. My abdomen is still slightly uneven and it's not perfect, but DOC did a great job sorting things out again. Almost immediately I could feel the release of tension from putting the skin back. I got some intra-op pictures as well, per request, and it was so cool to see. My notes say I had a lot of scar tissue. For the past week or so I've been doing almost daily scar massages with Dr. DHT's scar salve; ten minutes on each side. I don't know if it's the ingredients, the fact my scars are moisturized, or just that I'm massaging them but they seem to be looking better already. They're starting to get less red and "angry" looking, as DOC said during my last post-op a couple of weeks ago. I've been doing electrolysis on my left arm every other week, sprinkling some laser in on the non-tattooed parts. I'm up to 20 hours on electrolysis, and my wallet is probably a good $1000 lighter.
Just 59 days until my stage one RFF! I'm almost entirely excited, with a dash of nerves. I know it'll be great and worth it but recovery will be intense. I had my initial consult with Cetrulo in 2021, so it's been a really long time coming. Like stupidly long lmao. It's been hard and a lot to deal with. Recently upped my meds which has helped, and I've been going to the gym consistently which also helps. Trying to stay busy and prep while I wait. I don't know if anyone has any questions or anything but I'm open to answering whatever. Thanks
