For bottom surgery in December! I’m super excited, especially since I was originally staring down a 3 year timeline back in July. Had a consultation earlier this week and it went amazingly well! I feel decently prepared, but please share any tips for the lead up or recovery. Eeeeep!

    Mine’s in a little under a month, so the only thing I can say at this point is keep yourself busy and the time will pass before you know it. If you’re anything like me you might start to worry that you stop feeling a sense of urgency about it (do I really want this?), but I think that’s probably pretty normal.

    Are you on top of hair removal? I know every surgeon has different guidelines, but mine has said it’s not necessary and I’m pretty sure that’s bullshit. Got my last (downstairs) session this week.

      Are you on top of hair removal?

      Nooooooo lmao my surgeon said it isn’t needed, they cauterize the follicles during the surgery. They said the most I should ever notice is an occasional hair on the dilator but the get like at least 95% of the hair. I’m getting electrolysis on my face but my electrologist is around me so infrequently that it would take years to get the hair completely removed.

      Congrats on getting to the t-minus 1 month mark! Keep me updated on how its going if you’d care to :)
