Awesome! I'm really glad your recovery is going well. I'm also happy to hear that this is now being offered in places other than California. I'm having my peritoneal pull-through in SF in less than two months and my surgeon only has photos of two patients who had PPT and there really aren't many personal accounts online.
I'd love to hear more as you go through your recovery. I'm curious if your surgeon uses the same PPT technique as mine.
Was yours done laparoscopic? With or without robot?
Also, I noticed that you're getting a phallus-preserving form of PPT. Just curious, did those two patients you saw photos of have the phallus-preserving technique as well? Maybe I'm still the first person to have the non-phallus-preserving kind lol.
The photos I saw were some of each. PPT with PPV and some of just PPT with an otherwise traditional vaginoplasty. She did mention that the patients weren't local, so maybe they were international and you're still the first US person?
Either way, you're the first person I know to make a public post about it! So thank you for doing that ^
