The Sex Update

WORTH IT$6,500
Alright yall, here’s the review you’ve really all been waiting for. So I went to my final doctor appointment at 9 weeks and was given the go ahead on intercourse. My husband and I turned it into what we called out sexcation since the doctor and I are 6 hours away from each other. We got straight to it that night. The first time it was quite painful - or even really painful at first but as it went on I was able to enjoy it. It is a very different sensation than before - the procedure worked. My husband felt completely different to me and I was very much able to appreciate his body and completely lose myself to the experience which is not something I can say of myself pre-surgery. That lead to a long weekend of delightfully sore good times. I started to worry that maybe things were just feeling so great and tight because I was swollen from the first time so I didn’t want to immediately jump on here and give you guys my review. I’m now not swollen from the “losing of my virginity” if you will, and I knew y’all needed the update - it worked. I’m a different woman. My muscles are strong and they work. My husband will definitely not be slipping out no matter how wet things may get down there. It’s like I’m in a brand new relationship and we are both crazy about each other. It’s embarrassing but the first time I was so happy and surprised and just completely thrilled that afterward I had to take a moment and I just sobbed. I’m not a cryer at all in life it was just so exhilarating, and to know that this was 1000% worth it not just for looks but for function. I couldn’t have been happier or more surprised. I will say my fear/hope of it being unrealistically tight was not right it just feels perfect. It’s not so tight I can’t use it but it’s not so loose it loses friction. I definitely can’t do a lot of the old go to positions anymore that helped squeeze it tighter, i am naturally way too tight for them. its great we don’t need to squeeze anything. I of course am now obsessed with kegels because I’m terrified I will be how I used to be again. So there’s the update! Lol any questions just ask.

Wow congratulations on the success with your surgery. Thank you for being so detailed this really helps. Did your Dr give you an exparel shot (or offer it) for pain? I’m super nervous about recovery so I’m hoping this shot will keep me comfortable for the first couple days when it’s the worst
No, but I had pain medication that worked fine I wouldn't have needed anything additional. The first day is really an easy one since you're still pretty numb on the outside. It's just an uncomfortable feeling more than pain for the internal stuff.
OH, I love reading this! I am almost five weeks now. I am still experiencing soreness from my labia reduction ... sutures are surfacing and irritating the area. Did you experience this?? Not sure if I am over thinking it. I am afraid one side may have lost a needed suture too early after looking tonight ...
Yeah when the stitches came out they felt a little fresh. At 5 weeks my stitches were all coming out I would just take baths and try to encourage them coming out.
Wonderful story to read, im wanting to get this done for myself but so scared! Your updates, progress,photos and all the other little things have really made it less scary to me now. Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing, idc what. anyone says our vaginas are not good elastic, and men are having sex with each other because butt holes are simply tighter and feel better, I want my vag to feel better than a butt!!!
Do you still feel tight?
Yes still (sometimes) painfully tight but not upset about it.

8 week update

Hey guys! Today I am officially 8 weeks and all is going well! After 6 weeks I was able to get a wax as all of my external stitches had fallen out. I quit using peri bottle (for bathroom) around that time as well. My labia are still a little tender in the same way any fresh scar would be. I used a tampon once last week (Okayed it with doctor) and it was much harder to get in there than they used to be it felt like a compact sealed up box lol I’ve not had sex yet but I don’t think my husband and I are going to be able to get it done the first try probably something we will work towards. Much happier with the idea of that than how things used to be. I’m satisfied with the external appearance. I love how it feels flat and I can’t feel my lips protruding. I do still have some noticeable suture lines but they say it changes for 6-8 months and I’m only on month two so I am still expecting them to blend more in the long run. Im hoping they diminish but better than my long labia. My self confidence has changed for the better. I made the perfect choice for myself and my marriage when I chose to have this surgery and have it with Dr. Litrel. I’m going to attach a few photos I took this morning for y’all - one of them I used the flash and it makes it look really bruised down there so maybe there is still some bruising? I’m not sure. The first 5 weeks or so I looked at her all the time and now I just check on her every once in a while. I’ll check back in at 12 weeks!

4 week update

No new news really! I have a physical job so I have had a little issue with my perineum opening and bleeding which frustrates me but I know that it’s my fault and just hope it heals well. I’ve been doing ab and arm exercises and feel ready to get back into my normal routines but I tried a jumping jack yesterday and I’m definitely not ready. I started kegels back up today and I’m feeling really good about that. Stitches are seeming less and less still itchy at times on the labia still using the spray bottle at the bathroom. I’ve let my husband look he’s very happy with the physical result. I’m posting my photo from today but honestly I wish I would’ve taken one yesterday it gets a little more swollen on days I work because I’m on my feet for about 10 hours. Still can tell it’s improving though! Next update coming at 2 month mark!

Thank you so much for updating! M surgery is scheduled for June 10, and I love reading about your progress!
Congrats on your surgery date!!
Looking good. Please let us know about the sex and whether or not it was worth it.
I will! I haven't had sex yet I'll be 7 weeks on Friday, and now it's looking like I will probably try around 9 weeks. However now all my stitches are out and I've done some light probing to see what I think - it feels brand new. I have no doubt sex is going to be hard at first and this will be worth it. I can't wait to actually have the update though!
Oh, that is exciting! I am two days post op and to be honest in a good bit of pain. I finally had a BM and feel much better. It almost feels like I have a UTI?? But also thinking that could be the pressure and general irritation of the urethra post surgery.

Excited to see your updates ... thanks for sharing!
Looking fantastic....
