Bottom Surgery Aftercare Shopping List
Hi! I’m Borgpup. I go by Axl.
Not having a penis anymore is the best! Getting a nulloplasty was the most radical act of self-love and care I have ever taken. The month in San Francisco for its nulloplasty has come to a close and we have made it safely back home to Wisconsin. I tried to write this article in San Francisco, but things were still too much of a roller coaster on a day-to-day basis. Now that I’m home and have a little more recovery under my belt (day 31), it’s important to me to take the time to document an account of my surgical experience to the best of my ability while my memories are fresh.

Let me do my best to tell the story from the beginning.
It was an incredible journey.
Start to finish from making my decision to my August 9th surgery date, I got a nulloplasty in nine weeks. To date, every trans person I have interacted agreed that this is the fastest pace they have ever heard of. The Crane Center in San Francisco (https://cranects.com) set me up with a video consult with my surgeon, Dr. Kenan Celtik, who took amazing care of me before, during, and after my surgery. My Owner @BayouGrizzly took the entire month off work using FMLA to be my primary caregiver after surgery.
365 days ago, I still had no idea I would succeed at getting #nullo surgery last year. From my earliest memories, I never felt comfortable having a penis. Even as a 4 year old in kindergarten, my stick figure drawings of myself had a dick; I was that self-conscious.
I came out as gay at 17 and was a bottom's bottom from the beginning. Topping just didn't appeal; I never really enjoyed how that part of my body felt in the first place.
In my mid-20s, I discovered that I loved being locked in #chastity. Wearing a #chastitycage was way better than nothing.
Over the years, I probably went through two dozen different cages, of all different sizes, materials, and types. I always felt better locked, but none ever fit comfortably for long-term wear. I was always on the hunt for the "perfect" cage that fit better than the last.
