Throughout my transition, I have said multiple times to my friends, "ugh, I just want to get rid of it" and point to my crotch in a very upset manner. Well... I got my bottom surgery coming up on two months ago. A couple weeks after, I saw a discharge of tissue that I initially thought was infection. Turns out it was the penile skin graft used to line my new vagina.
It caused a lot of emotional stress, and because of it, I lost about 5 or 6 cm of my vaginal channel. Everything else has healed/is healing extremely well. The initial loss of skin graft caused a lot of sharp pain when dilating. I can dilate without pain now but ugh... it doesn't feel like a vagina to me on the inside. I told my friends "this isn't what I meant by 'I just want to get rid of it' with its new role."
Edit: if I knew this was going to happen before I had surgery, I still would go through with it. When asked about the risks by my psychiatrist and two therapists to obtain letters for surgery, I told them "I would rather have some of the things go wrong instead of having what I have now"
Second edit: jfc. Everyone's situation is different. Just because you had something done one way doesn't mean it's a one-size-fits-all solution. My doctor is one of the top in the US, so I trust her decision-making skills
