I had my follow up yesterday with my surgeon here at UC San Deigo. The healthcare, service, and compassion at UCSD is the best I have experienced with healthcare in my life. Really fine people.
The doctor took a look at where I am healing and he said that I am doing great, no swelling and my body is responding well to the penile implant. The pain is lessened so much. I have an appointment one month from now and then they will inflate it and then I have daily management of inflating it for 10 minutes every day for a year. What he explained it that I received the AMS CX 700, and what they did was put an additional inch of the implant inside, so I will increase in length by one inch over a period of a year. I don't really understand how they add an inch but that he was explained, but if I don't do the daily exercises for a year, I will not gain the length. Right now it measures at 6 inches, so it will be a 7, which is about where it was before the injury. Where the bend was from the trauma is all straightened out as it remains partially inflated, but I am doing great men and I wanted to thank you for responding and your support, it may not seem like a lot but it really helped me with my emotional mental health after the surgery which seemed like the end of the world. One last thing, the doctor said yesterday this is the most painful surgery a human being can go through, I found that very shocking considering what other people endure with other health issues so that means if I can do this, I can do anything! Onward and Upward
