I had a trim method labiaplasty in 2023 by my OBYGN. Medicaid paid for it as they deemed it medically necessary. My labia was longer “than normal” my entire life. Chaffing and sex were …. Painful and so at 29 I decided to get the procedure done so my 30s I could reclaim my sex life…

Wrong.

When I woke up, I knew something was wrong because of the amount of pain that I was in

Two days later, I developed a fever and went to the hospital. They literally didn’t know what to do with me and said that they have never seen anything like me before.

I went to my doctor. He reassured me that it was normal and I would be fine, but I knew I would not.

Long story short, he amputated my entire right labia

And the way he stitched the left side it split in half

They say the best doctor in America is Dr Gary Alter and he wants $30,000 but remember Medicaid paid for this because I obviously have no income or low income

Single mother and BLACK women in America that is still in school ….

I found a doctor named Michael Davis Austin in California and he can get up to 20,000. He is willing to work a deal out with me but I mean I don’t have thousands of dollars laying around it takes me damn near three months just to come up with 2000.

I don’t work like that not only because I am in school but because I’m also a single mother and I suffer now for mental health issues really bad the PTSD and a depression is unbelievable

If I didn’t have a child, let’s just say I really would not be here

Not only as my lab are gone, but the way he cut me. I’m open all the way down there so it’s really easy for me to get infections.

I can’t do anything. Sex now is a guaranteed yeast or BV. When the surgery first happened I couldn’t even go to the bathroom properly because it would just spray everywhere.

I live in Tennessee and when this first happened, I tried to sue so I could get Getmoney money from the Mail practice and use that for reconstruction but In Tennessee it’s really hard to file for malpractice

So here I am three years later and only 32 years old with no sex life constantly on antibiotics and I feel like I lost my entire womanhood, but what’s worse is I really did this to myself because at the end of the day I’m the one who agreed to the surgery

Does anyone know if any medical grants whatsoever so I can get reconstruction?

Has anyone gone out the country Thailand, Columbia Turkey?

Am I wasting my time even trying to get reconstruction?
