I know of a surgeon who does different types of procedures that a plastic surgeon doesn't do. He is a urogynecologist with several other elective procedures.

Hey Dale, Thats not doctor 90210 is it I would put myself before the world to see if that is what it would take! Besides I am an avid fan of Dr. Rey.

So all seriousness here, I have never heard of a Urogynecologist, or at least never gave it a thought. That is something to think about, thats for sure. I wouldn't really know what to ask my ob/gyn, how do to approach this subject.. hey doc I have this pain, I guess what I am trying to say is, maybe it is time that I find myself a new obgyn cause I don't feel mine is getting to the bottom of things (no pun intended)

Default Try for the insurance

You know, insurance pays for all sorts of stuff for men to get it up, they might pay if you're "stuff" is keeping you from having a normal sexual relationship. It might be some simple sort of labiectomy? (I may have made that word up) Lipo - removing extra skin?? Who knows?

What I would do is go to a plastic surgeon, describe the problem and ask what he/she would recommend. They hear this stuff all the time. It may be personal and embarrassing to you, but it is like a project for them. Totally impersonal. I mean, trust me, these plastic surgeons see and fix it all! When my plastic surgeon was squeezing my nipples to be sure I had sensation after surgery, (Oow! yes thank you, I do...) and telling me I looked, "Youthful and perky" with a straight face - well - I just had to have a lot of respect for the fact that they do this all day and it doesn't strike them as odd at all.

I had a belt lipectomy so the same effect as a tummy tuck and let me tell you...LIFE IS GOOD! I was like - so THIS is what nature meant to do! Now I get it! This is NICE! If you want the gorey details, pm me!

I have a plastic surgeon in springfield. He is good natured you know the kind of teddy bear grandfather type. I have been thinking I should look him up and see what it is he has to say. I know when he did my assesment for the TT, he went all out he quoted me a price for the TT & belt, thigh lift, boobs and arms. I thought for sure he was going to go janet dickinson on me and sugest I have my pinkie toe lipe'd... lol but actuallly he made me feel so very comfortable. Well I think that is what I need to do.

hugs to you all!!

I told him if the pain is that bad then I can go a life time with out it! He said he didn't think he could live a life time with out it.

And God knows, he's not going to think you're crazy! Have you seen some of the things people are having done to themselves these days?!?!?

Good luck and keep us posted!

I have been considering a total body lift.
In researching this, I saw "vaginal rejuvenation". There are sites with pictures. Type in vaginal rejuvenation, into Goggle.
Obviously I am not a woman, but I would suggest very thorough research, before committing.
We only get one sex. No more.
I have been looking at http://www.bumrungrad.com/?gclid=CI_...FQdEFQod8iT67A
In Taiwan. It's half as much there, for any procedure.
Airfare, hotel, ET, one can still save a 1/3 or more.
Package deals are invited.
However, if something goes amuck, it's a flight back.
It will prove very tough to find an American physician to take an existing case.

If you REALLY want to get your mad on, dig this....for many MANY years (I believe they finally changed it a couple of years ago), if men on Medicare "needed" Viagra, Medicare paid for it, no problem. But if a woman on Medicare needed Tamoxifen to treat her breast cancer, Medicare would not pay! Doesn't that tell you something wonderful? It is more important, federally speaking, for a man to get a f#cking hard on than for a woman to survive breast cancer.

Niiiiiiiice.

I can understand why you might go that rout, but I have a hard time giving my money to another country when our own people here are in need. Don't get me wrong I am the farthest thing from being racist or what ever it is called, I just have very strong convictions on how I go about my medical care treatment, and that includes I will not allow a Doctor from certain religion background practice on me or my family.... I just have a very strong beliefe and I dont feel comfortable being their sacrafice to their god.... Ok that is a whole thread of it's own, sorry..... peace and love no war here!
