I got a simple metoidioplasty and scrotoplasty, no UL, no vaginectomy. The operation was two days ago so I’m still in very early recovery, but so far everything has gone well. If anyone has questions about my experience to date, feel free to ask!

Congrats! How awful is the recovery process so far? I know for top surgery it took me a while to get back to 100% but I was up and able to do some stuff after a few days and could have been back to a desk job after about a week.

So far it's not too bad. It was an outpatient procedure; I could dress myself pretty much when I woke up and walk pretty comfortably later that day. I'm a little stiff and sore, and the bleeding took a while to slow down — there's still spotting, which is apparently very normal — but unless I get an infection I think I'll be pretty much functioning normally soon.
