Almost One Year Since Surgery ...

WORTH IT$10,000
We've been married 17 years (since I was 19), and my husband and I will both tell you that sex has NEVER been this good for us. We have both benefited immensely from these procedures. My husband was adamant that this wasn’t necessary .... honestly, neither of us had any clue how much better our already pleasing sex life could be!
As happy as I am with the results, I'm even more pleased with Dr. Litrell. He called, texted and spoke words of affirmation over us daily during my healing. His faith and dedication to his patients is unlike any other. Do not be fooled by the egos of other doctors who specialize in this. There simply is NOT anyone better than Dr. Litrell!.

Week Four
alisallJuly 12, 2020
This week was a little harder on me ... I have to balance doing too much with not doing enough. If I don't get it right, the sciatic pain settles in. I am taking my stool softener daily, but when I need to have a BM I feel an ache in my left butt cheek. This is still from the uterine suspension/ inflammation ... maybe this is just how I am going to know it's time to poop for a while ha!
On the exterior, some stitches/ sutures have started surfacing and causing irritation. I read to cut back any that do that ... just not sure really HOW much to cut. I can use tweezers and pull more of the thicker white stitches that are visible. I am going to ask Dr. L about this on Monday.
I DO have one spot I am very concerned about after overthinking during my self induced exam today. The right inner labia has hurt so much this week. I have asked my husband to look a couple of time because it felt so sore. There is one "notch" that I am fairly certain wasn't there before ... I am concerned that an essential stitch may have detached too soon.
Overall appearance is so much better. The lingering pain has been discouraging but doable. I am one of the lucky ones I suppose ;) Updated picks below including the labia I am concerned with tonight ....

Hopefully you live close by to the dr office, that way you can get the split repaired if it doesn’t heal properly. I was told by dr has to do revisions on 10% of Labiaplasties. I didn’t realized it was so common :/ How many weeks did it take you to walk without pain? My surgery it coming up on July 27th. Do you think at 4 weeks I will be ok to do a weekend trip with my family?

We’re on a weekend trip now and just over four weeks. My recovery has been slow, too, so I would imagine you’d be fine :) I’m actually in Birmingham, AL now. It’s drivable, though. I’m texting Dr. to ask ... can you see the notch I’m referencing?

Ok about how long are you able to stay on your feet? Yes I can see it looks like it split a little bit. You look great though. If it bothers you I’m sure it’s a quick fix in the drs office

Thanks so much! I'm very pleased - especially given the before! And yes - spoke with Dr L today and said it's an easy repair if it bothers me after I've healed. He's just the best.
I can be on my feet sometimes all day without any concern. I'm having sciatic pain on and off which is really an isolated side effect. still feel tender on the outside and keep a panty liner on. I wouldn't run a marathon or lift weights right now BUT I can totally keep up with the family walking, swimming etc :)
