u/Pizello11

the swelling has gone away... and i measured it. it's 3cm exactly like pre-op. i asked ubirajara if he's sure he can release some length after 2nd stage, he said yes, it's not the first time it happens.

honestly ive been thinking about phallo, but in order to do phallo and have at least some sensation in italy i think i should avoid monsplasty, and then i would have to redo my scrotum bigger... so it defeats the purpose of an eventual second stage. plus, i would still be peeing from the meto because they forbid to do burial and UL to the tip of the neophallus due to chanches of strictures.

an appointment with the surgeon in turin is 180€, and i decided to not go through at the moment. the idea of having maybe some more length and more visibility in the second stage, with my full erotic sensation, is appealing.

so i'm saving up for second stage, despite it's difficult because now i'm paying the loan for the 1st stage on top of all my expenses (testosterone, appointment with the urologists for the fistulas, things related to the gym, fuel...). i have around 1k saved. i don't know how much will it cost.

today at 14:30 i have an appointment with an urologist who work with metoidioplasty in pisa, (they're great, they do 1 metoidioplasty a week! wich shorten very much the waiting lists in italy... considering surgeons in florence and turin do an operation a month, between phallo and meto 😮‍💨) to ask if he can repair my fistulas before second stage, so they will be healed by the time i put implants. ill also ask if medium size will be ok on my scrotum in his opinion.

ive gone back and forth with the idea of phallo but ultimately i'm deciding to go forward with meto, despite being little. if i wouldn't have fistulas i could probably stand to pee, that was my goal afterall.

i don't think i'm able to penetrate.

i'm postponing to pump because ubirajara said to wait until second stage. i stopped dht scrotal cream years ago because it was expensive and after some months of application i didn't see results in size (i was pre op). should i restart for more months and see? when would i see results? should i start pumping now or should i wait until 2nd stage?

how can i stretch my sack in order to welcome implants?

thanks all

ps: i did my first session of permanent laser... because my pubic hairs completely cover the dick otherwise. the doctor was very particular and chatty. he treats people with hormones in croatia, because here it's obviously illegal. he treats also trans men. i traveled to florence. laser feels like a bunch of needles quickly entering the skin. he protected my dick and anus with a wooden stick and i wore some plastic glasses to cover my eyes.

i asked them through whatsapp if there's a way to see it registered for those who aren't in the time zone! let's see what they answer :)
