My surgery

Guest TRIWINGGIRL

I went to Dr. Marcy bowers in trinidad, i was able to go on my birthday. I took with me to friends that are nurses and we traveled in a class A motorhome. What a fun trip the motor home had a wierd electical short, it liked to short a night so the head lights did not work. What fun the first night on the road driving in to new mexico with a flash light. After that we stopped driving at night.

I was told i was the first person to drive in a motorhome. it was also very nice to lay down all the way home instead of trying to sit in an airplaine seat. Question to those who flew home was sitting in that airplaine seat as uncomfortable as i thought it would be.

I remember feeling very normal when i woke up. I had been castrated for many years so i had very little pain but there was morphine. I had to have a skin graft from shrinkage, i choose to have the fake skin, i've had grafts taken for burns and learned they hurt for months and leave a big scare for long time.

About shrinkage by the time i got to surgery after 28 years on hormone and 10+ years castrated there was a lot of shrinkage and i only had enough skin to build the outside parts of my vagina i got to get fake skin inside. After six years i have had no trouble other than bladder infections that i probably gave my self. Did you know you can get a bladder infection from not drinking enough water Or when wind blows earth in it or from dusty toilet paper. I had to learn a lot we all do.

I have seen some of you talk about white spots and infections. I had lots of white spots this is skin that is not getting enough blood. this skin is dying i had some cut out by my OB GYN. no worries.

Healing was fun so was dilating with all that very painful dying skin that could not be taken. keep dilating and get the blood flowing and these white spots will go away. It just takes time grit your teeth and do it the pain goes away if you do it.

Another Question can we post pics of our surgery?

I had to take a lot of pics to send DR bowers to get info on what to do. i also took 1 pic of me before and all the shrinkage the only before pic of my thing.

Now i love playing with my many dildos and am very happy with my first stage results. i don't have the money for stage 2 .

Congratulations, Triwinggirl!

You may have been the first to arrive in a Class A, but you won't be the last! I will be taking one when I go in for MY surgery (no, no date yet, darnit). The advantages are clear, for those who have access to one! I wonder if I could rent mine to other girls as they head off on that leg of their journey? LOL At least they arrive and depart in STYLE!

Congrats again. And shrinkage is avoidable if you stretch the parts in question.

Love

Pam

Hi Twingirl,

While the pictures sound very interesting to someone like me, just on the doorstep to surgery, they aren't allowed here on the forum. Thanks for asking before posting them.

Hi Pammy,

That sounds like a truly gracious thing to do! That long plane ride home is one of those things I'm really dreading.

Love, Megan

Opps forgot to talk about shrinkage, I'm sorry to say after trauma to the area from rapes and time you can not avoid shrinkage. If you have also been castrated no hope it's gunna shrink, and yes i stretched it regularly.

Estrogen will do it's work things will change after time sorry girls. yu would not want me to lie would you.

Yes. Flying home wasn't what I would call a highlight. That being said, painkillers really helped matters greatly and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. The worst part was TSA and having to unexpectedly change planes at Midway.

Rapes???

I hope, for your sake, you are using this metaphorically. Then again, rape is a pretty heavy topic to use in such a way, IMHO.

Desi, I suspect the automatic word filter did some creative substitution there and came up with "rape". At least it looks that way based on other crazy substitutions I've seen. :)

No i meant RAPED and beaten and left for dead and had to walk home and got no help. this is were i got some of my head injuries. It's vegas baby

Sorry i did not mean to imply this will happen to everyone it did happen to me, i,ve accepted that , make friends with yu problems and they ain't so bad anymore. i don't mean to say it's OK, it is very wrong I know from experience. I worked it out in my head for me, it was that or be CENSORED in the head. :friends:

Sorry :dunno:

Time and estrogen do there work. I had been castrated for 15+years before sugery so oh did they. Mine went inside real quick after awhile they hurt real bad so i had them removed. estrogen works way better when it's not fighting testosterone. SOOOO SHRINKAGE AHHHHH :hairpull: it ended up about as big as my thumb :thumbsup:

When you have to fix some things on your own it's good to have a long background of therapy to help you get through it.

I might write about that one day in detail or not? Lets say it is part of why at this time i'm afraid to break it in with a person. It's hard to be a 50+ year old virgin :hairpull:

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't want to just take it casually in passing since it really is such a serious topic. And I hope you are doing as well as possible in moving on with your life after so much trauma. Best wishes for a much brighter future!

i am starting to believe that i am having trouble with my fake skin. I have been seeing the ads on tv about pelvic mesh and it's problems. so i called the numbers and got little info. I finally got someone to talk to me and they told me continuous infections are one of the problem. I don't seem to have the other problem yet, but now know what to ask about.

I have that i have been getting unexplain no fever general infections since surgery around every 2 months.

i have always had sinus issues so having trouble getting doctors to switch gears.

I am having trouble getting this confirmed because of this, but i am just now aware of what questions to ask. I will update.

it may be best to just leave it alone i hope.

      Approximately 12 hours ago I created a post in the "intersex" forum, however on YouTube 17 people can relate to my story.

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
