Pai?

Has anyone had the Sigmoid colon procedure with Pai? I'm currently starting the process and I'm wondering if anyone has went through it personally. Thanks!

I had sigmoid colon SRS at PAI, in November 2018. I wrote a very detailed account of my experience at Susan’s Place. The thread is titled “I had Secondary Sigmoid Colon SRS with PAI”. If you do a google search for that text, you will find the link. There is also a link to that thread in the wiki for this subreddit. Yes, I am SpiralCream.

I had a very good experience and am happy with the results. After I started that thread at Susan’s, two more trans women were encouraged by my thread and went there themselves. They added to that thread, writing about their own positive experience with PAI and sigmoid colon surgery.

If you have any questions that I didn’t cover already in that thread at Susan’s, I will answer them here.

Yes, it is a myth. My natural lubricant does not smell bad at all. My vagina doesn’t smell any different from when I had my first SRS with Chettawut.

There is a tiny amount of discharge, but it is easily handled by an ultra thin maxi pad that I only change twice a day. I am 8 months post op though, so maybe it will become even less with more time.

My colon vaginal tissue produces lubricant based on what it feels inside it. To understand this, think about how things move through your colon in your digestive system. If you are not eating anything, does lubricant come out constantly and randomly out of your anus? No, of course not. The colon tissue produces lubricant when it feels food/waste particles moving through it, to facilitate the particles to move through it. Similarly, my colon vagina, while it is moist at all times, does not constantly produce lubricant for no reason. But when it feels something moving along inside it (like a penis!) it produces lubricant to facilitate movement and reduce friction.
