V resection wedge labiaplasty.

I'm writing this sitting here on my couch with my bum propped up under a pillow and a bag of ice sitting in between my legs. This is day one. June 19th, 2020. I have waited for a day like today since I was a young teenage girl. When I was this young teenage girl, I started to realize I wasn't like everyone else. I started to pick up on the vile comments made by those mean middle school boys and it mortified me that my anatomy sounded exactly like what they were making fun off. This is when my insecurity was born and my obsession with how to fix it started. I would sob and sob over this and wonder if I would ever find a man who would want to be with someone like me. I was self-conscious in everything that I wore. Bathing suits, yoga pants, shorts... The list can go on for days. I won't go to the beach with friends in a bikini because you can see my labia bulging down in between my legs. Just typing this makes me cringe. My labia has ruined my life and I want to be able to do the things I love without having to worry about my labia getting in the way. I've hated this part of my body forever and I'm glad I got it chopped off.

I wasn't anxious or nervous or questioning this surgery. I've been wanting this forever so I was actually excited. I took the Ativan that was prescribed hoping it would make the injections less painful but it didn't work. The injections are the worst part of the procedure. I balled my eyes out and almost jumped off the table. The nurse seemed nice but she was quiet and Dr. Medalie seemed the same way. It was an awkward experience for me. Not much conversation went on between the two of us and I wish he would have explained more of what was going on.
Before the surgery at my consultation, I asked him if I need any tissue from the sides of my clitoris to be excised also and he disagreed. At the surgery I asked the same thing and he said we'll see once we get started. He never brought it up again.
My pain on the way home as around 2 and it's was like a burning sensation. I took 1 Percocet and it put me right to sleep. Pain woke me up around five or so hours later and I took another one. I'm continuing to ice and apply the bacitracin ointment as prescribed.
They said to not look today, but I'm too impatient for that. I think I'm going to be unhappy with my results. It doesn't look like he took as much tissue as I wanted. I wanted a very slim look and I don't think that's what I'm going to get.
I will continue to do daily updates.

Last night I woke up once from the pain. I felt extremely nauseous and weak. I didn’t sleep well after that. I took another Percocet this morning to help with the pain. The peri bottle is a life saver when going to the restroom. I’m super sore and it’s difficult to walk normal without irritation, so I waddle around when I have too. I lost a suture somehow and don’t know where it came out off. Nothing looks like it’s separated so fingers crossed no problems come from that. I’ve been icing non stop but the swelling is getting worse. I’m keeping myself slathered with the bacitracin ointment and taking my antibiotics. I get yeast infections all the time so I asked if I could be prescribed diflucan to hopefully avoid that. These are the supplements I started taking today, arnica Montana 6x four tablets four times a day, bromelain 500mg twice a day, and ester-c 500mg twice a day.
I plan do to absolutely nothing today but ice and rest.
