@sarahjane618 Hi Sarah. Funny, but it's been so long ago for me, I had to check my profile to find out when; October of 2019. Experience was great since that meant no T blockers for me of any kind, and it got those pesky things out of the way so clothes fit better.

As for recovery; mine went fine. I did find that some panty liners went a long way in providing some cushion and peace of mind that I wouldn't move wrong and cause a problem. I had no infection or bruising. More mental trepidation once I got home.

I'm not sure what your support situation will be, but I made sure I had the place where I was gonna plop down all set up before I left for the hospital. a few meals made and ready to eat as needed, drinks in the fridge, electronic devices charged and the chargers close by, plenty of pillows and blankets.

It's actually a pretty simple and easy operation, so I'd think you will be okay. Hugs, and good luck. Keep us posted on your progress.

@sarahjane618 Michelle is right on. This is not a particularly painful affair with little down time. OK, so I say that as "the doctor me." I will be on the receiving end March 17th (yes, St. Patrick's Day!) I am planning on being out of the clinic for 2 days only. That's the plan anyway! I will certainly let you know what to expect after I get to be on the other side of the operating table!
