STAGE 2 MLD

Now is time for a report on second stage , that I was finally able to achieve, after months of painfully putting some cash aside; this surgery is paid out-of-pocket and it sure wasn't an easy target..

Anyhow am pretty positive w/th the results, here is a full description of a 3 hours procedure: 

Neophallic base reshaping / Nerve hook-up /Replacement of Bilateral testicular prostheses - from 21ml to 27ml / Urethral reconstruction with buccal mucosa graft / Glansoplasty ( Norfolk technique ) / Clitoral covering -

Yes, that's a lot of things done in such a short time , big up for Dr Miro's confirmed skills -

 And here are images

Glansoplasty (Norfolk technique)

Shape looks good and definitely makes  a difference from result after stage 1 -

I did discuss it previous to  the surgery w/th Miro so we could agree on what i was looking forward to, aesthetically speaking -

Feel is great, touch too -  should be more comfortable to stand naked and share it w/th any  future partner - happy w/th the outcome -

Urethral mucosa graft ( part 1 of final stage)

Looks rough but isn't painful

  Surgical explanation: this is the first step of Urethral Lenghtening finalisation; some skin was taken from inside of my left cheek (= Buccal Mucosa Graft) and attached to the phallus - that has to be constantly treated with moisturizer and cream Until it gets suple and elastic enough to be sewn back together to create a final urethral natural tube (called urethral tubularisation) - Most important is that it doesn't dry up -

4 months post stage 2

A little update would not do any wrong

Fully recovered from stage 2 now, am back on track and have been totally mobile since end of May (surgery was in March)
All in all it was about 2 months before my genitals were clear of any suture or soreness.
First cycle ride felt really welcomed, being able to stand up a whole day, garden and get back on a ladder too -
Because I could not use lower part of the body so much for a while ( and yuh.. was that hard to accept...) I had the chance to do shoulders (but also arms/abdominals) work-out by weightlifting - that was perfect up until I could use my whole body again.

Lads, I really want to insist yet again that post-op phallo is definitely not something to take lightly -
It is nervously straining to be totally aware of your surroundings, to feel awake and sharp and then find out each day that your body can't keep up. You can always perform necessary stuff, like going shopping, manage a walk, or else but it requires patience and some rest before you can pretend a whole day out and about, and it can get quite frustrating at times -
In the end , looking back at it, am grateful enough not to have had any major complications, I still had to deal w/th an open wound between my balls and my butt, due to the flight back when a few stitches just ruptured - It took me a week to decide that as long as i kept it clean and that it had no sign of infection, I would not show up in a hospital service - it healed by itself in the end.

Chronological sum-up :
Surgery on the 10th of March
Upper body work-outs : end April
Outdoor physical activities (without straining): end May
Back to travelling: mid-June


 TIPS: Forcing yourself to rush back into work or physical activities is not the way to go if u want to avoid complications -
Always plan 2-3 weeks longer than what you're being told for post-op healing -

8 WEEKS POST-OP STAGE 2

Having had the surgery on the 10th of March 2014, I had to figure out for myself how long exactly before I could get back on track and here are time delays precisions -

For that second stage, which is far less heavy on the body than first stage, only 3 hours on the table was necessary (when it goes up to 8 hours for stage 1) and i'd only spent one night in the clinic before being driven back to a hotel room the day following surgery -
Sticked around in Belgrade for 10 more days and took a flight, wearing the supra-pubic catheter once again, but this time had a neat device not to get drips of piss soaking my jeans..whilst walking around loaded w/th luggage....which had been an issue in the past -

SAFE N SMOOTH                                              

                                                                                                         

Back in a small studio sublet for post-op care, a lot of stitches to strenghten buccal mucosa graft in place + around rectum area where some skin tissue had to be removed (to avoid unecessary swelling)
now was only a matter of time before they fall off -

It took precisely 45 days before I could confirm physical mobility without any suture getting in the way - Before that and from day one , I had been mobile, having to shop or travel or getting meds but the whole area was obviously sore and risk of inflammation always present.
Especially since i had decided to swap medium-size testicles to larger ones, that was an added bonus that did go along the graft but which required some more time before resuming daily activities or long walks.
Once the soreness had gone, the few leftover stitches were enough to be an issue when trying to get active, even putting jeans on was a pain in the butt.. That's when you're a happy lad just hanging around in a pair of shorts, genitals dropping, avoiding tight knickers or itching of any kind.
