24, No Kids, Recently Engaged and Completely Self-conscious - Orlando, FL

Hi all! I know I haven't posted anything since a couple days after my procedure. I had a little set back- not mine or the doctors fault- just wanted to throw that out there. So as I was healing I noticed I had a lot of moisture building up daily, also i continued to be in some pain as I went to the bathroom as well. I went to my first check up and what we had realized had happened was that the antibiotics I took after the procedure gave me a yeast infection! The infection dissolved the stitches too soon, leaving small gaps on either side of my minora. I was a little discouraged at first because I wanted everything to be perfect, but my doctor (who apologized over & over again) said that if I wanted we could do a minor revision in about 6 months. With all that being said, I got on another antibiotic to kill the yeast infection and rapidly started healing! Compared to what I looked like before I am still so pleased with the results!!! I am comfortable with being naked and I'm no longer in any pain. All of the stitches have came out and my scars are starting to fade. I'm unsure as to whether I will get the revision yet because I am still healing. The recovery time was estimated to be about a month, however with my setback the doctor and I agreed to give it an additional 2 weeks before trying to have intercourse or use tampons. I promise to post pictures soon, I just didn't want to post them with the infection going on. I will say this- I was embarrassed about how I looked before and felt like I looked different than everyone else, and hey, I may STILL look different (inside my majoras) but I am still completely pleased and excited and happy about having the procedure done! (: thank for for all of you who personally wrote me to see how I was doing and again I'm sorry for "disappearing"! Photos soon!

I'm still sore and tender, noticed some spotting on my pads the last two days and a little itchiness last night but I'm assuming that's just a sign of healing. I've scheduled my post op check up appointment for Wednesday so I'll really find out how well I'm healing. I am still very happy with how everything is going and I can't wait to see better results each day!

It's been 3 days since my surgery and the pain has gone down dramatically. It's still pretty tender and sore but it's getting noticeably easier everyday. I have noticed some slight itching and some spotting on my pads, but I think they're just signs of healing. I've scheduled my post op check up appointment for this Wednesday so I'll know for sure then how well I'm healing thus far.
