30 Years Old, No Kids, Vagina Tightening Surgery UK - Manchester, GB

Feeling good! I have finished my course of painkillers and anti inflammatory pills and I just feel a little tender down below, sometimes with sharp pains if I am sitting down. Lying down is the best but I am no means unable to get around.
Have been able to drive today (it's an automatic) which was comfortable and also now able to take baths and saunas - YAY.
I am still taking stool softeners/laxatives and all have been working real well with no dramas thankfully! Will continue to post a wee update from now after any key milestones...post op with nurse, surgeon and when I start exercising and finally what the sex is like!! If anyone is interested of course... ;-)

I am very impressed with my recovery with this revision so far. They do say that revisions are easier for your body to cope with, but based on my first VT I did think this would be a lot worse. I've felt 100% apart from some pain and discomfort in my vajayjay which is totally to be expected. I am taking a herbal laxative (cascara sagrada) and my surgeon also gave me some sort of sugary medicine drink to help with bowel movements too and I have not had any issues as I first thought I might (again, based on last time) with constipation, instead I have the required laxative effect! I'm walking around just fine, sitting is uncomfortable at times but there are positions that feel better. For the rest of this week I am going to take full advantage of the doctors orders to rest and I will start driving again at the start of next week. At 4 weeks post op, I have been told to start my kegel exercises again to ensure the muscle tone stays strong and these are good for your health anyway. At 6 weeks post op I can get back to exercise. At 8 weeks post op I have my review with my surgeon and after that I will promise to report on what the sex is actually like!

So after breakfast, my catheter was removed which was not as bad as I remembered it to be last time - just an uncomfortable feeling. After this I was able to walk around with ease and soon was able to pee enough for the nurse to take out the canula on my hand too. My surgeon came in to see me for a check up and was again reaffirming the success of the operation and reassuring me everything is good! He said if I need anything at all to contact him directly. He really is wonderful. He reckons in 2-3 days time I'll be feeling back to normal again and that I can start driving by the end of the week, return to work within 7 days. I have my post-op medical booked in with the nurse on Monday 25th April, and my post-op check up with the surgeon 8 weeks later on 20th June. He says I can resume sex after six weeks but I am going to wait an extra 2 weeks until he has examined me and given the all clear. THAT part I am VERY excited for!
Only issue I am having just now is no bowel movement since Friday night and it's now Sunday night. I have taken laxatives and syrup but I know I am constipated which is going to be tough. I am just trying to drink a lot of fluids and relax. Will see how that goes!
For the rest of the day I was able to chill until my partner came to pick me up at around 1pm, so had a lovely and relaxing morning. Can't thank the team at Transform enough.
