My recovery is now complete. Had my final post op with Dr. Pelosi. Everything has healed beautifully and I am very happy. Sex is great and I believe this was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I recommend Dr Pelosi 10000000%

Did your first time hurt? It seems like a lot of people are saying the first few times we’re super painful

Halfway through recovery.

Tina_XOXO
I am at the halfway mark of my 8 week recovery. I am sore and tender sometimes but I have also been testing my abilities on my Peloton and light weights. I will taper down until my recover is further along.

Dr Pelosi informed me that the discharge will have a strong smell during recover and he was not kidding. It’s terrible and embarrassing. Thank goodness for the sex restriction anyway.

Appearance wise I keep telling myself to trust the process, healing scars are ugly. I gently feel inside. I feel a little bump of skin (like a raised area) otherwise no issues. Fingers crossed all heals well.

Picture is from today, this is a spitting suture. Otherwise all looks/feels well.

Hi there- thanks for sharing. I'm 2 weeks post op and am experiencing a terribly strong discharge too but everything else seems fine. My doctor never mentioned it to me so I've been freaking out a bit and have been searching for similar experiences. Also, I'm apprehensive to contact my doc during the Christmas break when all else is fine.

Week 2 No more pain

Tina_XOXO
I’m about 11 days post op now. Zero pain, off all pain medication both prescribe and OTC. I’m still taking the stool softener because I don’t want to cause an easily avoidable issue.
When I am showering I feel the exterior stitches, it’s sensitive but no pain there either. No pain on sitting or standing. I don’t even use my donut pillow while driving anymore.
I am on my mensural right on schedule so just paying extra close attention on hygiene. Overall days 1-7 were the most painful now it is smooth sailing until recovery. 8 week appointment on Aug-3. Will update then unless there is anything else significant that pops up during recover before then.

Wow I'm week 4 and still pretty painful !

I'm exactly 4 weeks today and I forget sometimes that I had surgery. But boy is it ugly and weird at the moment. Ugly outside and super bumpy feeling inside. Smelly too, which I was warned about as the stitches dissolve. Sorry to hear you're still having pain!
