Ever since i was about 14 i have wanted this procedure.
As I'm sure you know it can be an embarrassing area to talk about.
in July i went for a consolation and had it all booked for the 7th of September (excited)
Today was the day, lovely staff, clean hospital.
Woke up painful after half an hour, was on my period annoyingly so wasn't sure how much the wound was bleeding, after about 3 hours mum took me home (wear something very baggy!)
when i was home the swelling began and the bruising was dark purple on one side, took some medication and fell asleep only woke up once for the toilet )
day 1 after op.
OUCHHH! pain, bruising on both sides looks 10 times the size it was before,
although i can see the labia has been cut away and very happy with what i think it will look like.
Day in bed, got up to wee a few times, stretched the wound and it bled a little. very saw but still taking medication. going to try and get a early night tonight and will ice it just before bed.

woke up once last night for the toilet, make sure you take a water bottle with you to rinse the area after.
got up and had a shower, wasn't as bad as i thought no stinging, a little bit uncomfortable to walk as I'm still so swollen .
rang the hospital to ask if my thoughts were normal. why am i so blue/black bruised? swollen majorly on both sides? and possibly stitches are bleeding?
she said all if expected ring back tomorrow if there are no changes.
I'm currently sat here with an ice pack between my legs which really helps to numb and help the swelling go down.

Hi, I was wondering who your surgeon was? I've been wanting this surgery done forever and the few consultations I've gone to they don't do the "look" I'm going for… This is exactly what I'm going for so I'm just wondering where you went.

so todays been mixed, hasn't stung as much so the pains going and icing the area really is great for swelling.
i went to boots today with mum for some panty liners and a sandwich, still hard to walk(like i have wet myself) got home and was sick twice.
horrible going to stop taking the doctors strong tablets and stick with paracetamol.
one more ice pack now hoping to get a good nights sleep as I'm seeing family at the weekend.
