It’s been a little while since my last post and that’s been for two reasons. First of all, my lovely girlfriend has been with me, looking after me, which meant I wanted to give her my full attention. However, another reason is that getting back to normal life, even without work, is amazingly tiring when [...]
My apologies for the late post: I’m catching up with my notes now that I am recovering from my return to Germany! This post refers to March 29th, my last day in Chonburi and I’ve changed the date of the post to reflect that, even though it was only actually posted on 2nd April. Today [...]

Today was yet another of my twice weekly check-ups by Dr. Suporn and it went rather well. Down below I am healing really well and he’s very happy with my depth and the way my body’s handling this pretty invasive op he’s done (500 stitches worth: That’s invasive!) What was different about today was that [...]

I always knew that this surgery would be life-changing, and it has already turned out to be that in so many ways at a personal level. However, one thing which is also life-changing is the social aspect of a month in Chonburi. I have to admit that in my real life, I have very little [...]

Well, today I moved on to the big dilator. It won’t be my main dilator since, like most people, I can’t reach full depth with it, but it will be part of my dilation from now on, largely as a way to make dilation easier over time (making it easier to insert the medium dilator [...]

One of the pleasures patients of Dr. Suporn get to enjoy is dynamic dilation (other surgeons use this, too, but I’m not sure if their procedures are exactly the same as described below). There are two sorts of dilation: The basic sort, static dilation, is quite simple, one inserts the dilator up to ones depth [...]

This post is very much targeted at those who are planning to go through the sort of operations which I have undertaken. These operations are moments of amazing importance in our life so commitment to make them work is often not an issue. However, there are responsibilities which come with these operations, responsibilities which you [...]

Today I had my first consultation with Dr. Suporn after having left the hospital on Friday. The main reason was for the removal of the stitches in my armpits from the breast implants and some of the stitches in the genital area, but it was also an important opportunity for him to check my progress [...]

I’ve often heard post op women talk about how they can’t remember what it was like to have what they had down below before. It may seem like a crazy thing to claim: How can one forget a body part which one has lived with for decades? Well, today, I looked in the mirror, 10 [...]
Today, I went on my first post op adventure: A walk to the 7-11 about 200m down the road to buy a few bits and bobs. It was nice to be out and about and it was fun to see what is in Thai shops (I love seeing those basic things when I travel!) But [...]
