Surgery went fine on 2024-09-20 in Munich Bogenhausen, I’m recovering well and everything looks fine so far :)

Feel free to ask any questions :3

Edit: I would like to know why someone down voted this tho

Congratulations, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I’m curious what preparations were necessary (hair removal, stopping hormones etc), if any, and how long they took?

Thank you for sharing <3

Thanks :)

Ok so hair removal just shaving very thoroughly the night before or the day of the surgery before the actual surgery and stopping hormones taken orally two weeks before surgery (only progesterone for me)

I also had to get various things, like dilators (I got a prescription on the pre-surgery appointment) and sometime to clean my new body cavity (vaginal shower)

In my case, I also (tried) to make some silicone backups of the old hardware configuration - in case someone ever tells me to go fuck myself… ^^` but that’s not necessary (plan some days to do so, don’t rush it…)

First congrats! Im glad to hear you are doing well.

So when you get bottom surgery do you tell them how you want it to look like or do you show them pictures of what you want it to look like or do you just get what you get?

You get what you get - but you get so see pictures of previous results they had before, but things also just depend on how you heal, how much skin is available and co

You can choose if you want full depth or none though

Wow, that was not something that I ever even thought was an option. I guess I just weirdly assumed everyone would want full depth. That is super interesting.

Another question came to mind: How is the food in the clinic? Are they able to provide vegan food?

The food is quite ok, better than the usual cliche of hospital food - but there’s no vegan options on the menu at least, maybe something is possible when asking them but I don’t know

I have a vegan roommate since yesterday and apparently it’s not good… the kitchen is prepared for that and trying to, but somehow it doesn’t arrive up here??
