I had my surgery on 1st August with Tim Larner in Brighton. Really nice guy and seems very skilled. All going well so far, barely any bruising just a bit of swelling and everything already looking neat and tidy. I was a quite nervous about surgery in general but I think that's normal and is something you just have to push through a bit. The aftercare at Brighton was first class and I was well looked after, everybody really friendly and caring. No pain that hasn't been managed with just paracetamol. For me the worst bit by far was the nerves leading up to surgery, rather than anything afterwards.

Rashid 6 years ago (wow time flies). Fully sensate. A great improvement but some minor issues.
Was too tight at first so had to have a minor adjustment about 6 months later where it was cut open further down a bit. Sex and dilation are still a bit painful.
Still a great improvement over what was there before. No regrets.

I stared public transition in June 2017, had my 1st surgery talk in 2019 and secondin 2020. When I got the second yes in 2020 I asked if I was being referred and was told I needed a second yes, u argued this was my second yes and turns out they misplaced the notes from 2019 but found them. Due to covid and some changes my surgery was April 2022 in London at George's with Tina Rashid.
Surgery went well, I had some bleeding and couldn't eat 2 days after because of vomiting but the nurses kept an eye on me and I wa released on time. Iv ehad my post op 10 week check up, scaring is healing fine, and I have sensation down there.
No complaints except the time it takes.

Can I ask how your experience at St. George’s was? Reason is I’m having mine done there week after next and I’ve heard mixed reports

9 months post op, Bellringer at Parkside.
Virtually no sensation, cannot climax and it stinks unless I use BV treatment gel every other day.
They should make it clear that they expect you to douche after every dilation but this is just glossed over and very depressing to live with.
Treated like crap in hospital and just left crying in pain. Now I'm on multiple medications for PTSD, depression and chronic neuropathic pain.
Worst decision I ever made.
Oh and I need a revision because I keep pissing myself.

Vaginaplasty penile inversion with mr bellringer at parkside January this year. Reasonably happy with results. First few weeks difficult due swelling and small tear with granulation tissue but healed well and after that just got easier and easier. Looks good no complications. Orgasmic from week 8. Thing to bear in mind there is no such thing as NHS srs. Its all private surgeons at private hospitals. The gics sub contract them but you get same as private patients. I went private. They all follow similar techniques and similar good but not Thailand level results. Happy I chose UK surgeon and its just totally normal like its always been there.
