31 Yr Old, Self Conscious for Years

After 15 years of discomfort and feeling self conscious about my lady parts, i decided to move forward with labiaplasty surgery. This site actually provided a lot of information and helped to inform my decision, I realized I wasn't alone in this feeling. I would say the healing time mentioned in most reviews are fairly accurate, but each person does heal differently. I have a demanding job and wished I took more than 2 days off of work for this procedure. I also disagree with pain medicine not being necessary, I absolutely needed it. Days 7-12 were the worst as far as pain goes. I was so surprised by this because everything I read said after a couple days you're ready to go! I went back into the doctor so concerned about the pain I was in but was reassured everything was healing normally. I just hit the 6 week mark and have been released for all physical activity and sex. I can do most types of exercise at this point, but I'm a huge spin class enthusiast and I'm not quite ready to get back on a bike seat yet. I'm also a little too tender to enjoy sex yet. Overall, I'm very happy with my results and would recommend the procedure to others who are considering it. Just remember every one heals at their own pace, and it may not be a couple day turnaround the way a lot of reviews make it seem!
