JAKe, yes, I have heard that recovery from GCS can sometimes be painful. I guess we all recover differently, based on our age, health, genes, etc.  Frankly, at present I am not looking at full bottom surgery – instead, I am thinking of a vulvaplasty. You may know what that is, but for others I’ll describe it: it’s basically bottom surgery minus the vaginal cavity. Outwardly, looks totally real -vaginal “lips” and all – but there’s just no hole. At my age, sex isn’t a thing on my radar, so the work involved in maintaining the vagina would be work for no real purpose.  I’m guessing (hoping?) that “no vaginal cavity” also translates into a better recovery situation.
