Just got mine and not that happy. Started witht he 1 or largest size got a little woodie but nothing close to an eriction I could use on Mom. Then went to 2 and 3 same results. Stopped and shaved the family jewels and still nothing close enough to work. At the tighest ring I tried 3 it was pretty tight and uncomfortable.
Maybe this is just a learning tool and I need to get a semi erect unit twice a day for a while. I am only out of surgery 4 weeks this monday and maybe looking for too much too soon
Any help?

DAVID 1,
Yes like most of us ... you are expecting too much too soon. It took me 6 months of daily pumping (with a cheap pump) to regain the size I lost from robotic surgery. Does your URO have you on daily Cialis? If not you should be ... you might not see an erection, but it helps with the blood flow.

Yes 5 mg per day of Cialis. Thanks for the reply. I am going to get a prescription for Tri Mix in 2 weeks. The Euro said that was ok as well.
This is a great site and thanks for the reply.

Why does it take so long for the this to happen? What did they do to us that needs so much rehabilitation?

It's the disturbance (or destruction) of the nerve bundles around the prostate. From what I've been told, nerves (anywhere in the body) can take 1-2 years to rehabilitate -- if indeed they ever do.

Trimix is a good step in your rehab ... your URO should give you a test shot ... pay close attention on "How To". You should also continue your VED rehab to get the best results. Keep us posted of your results ...

Hi.

I just happened to notice your "join date" -- April 4, 2012 -- the exact same day the doctor looked me in the eye and told me I had prostate cancer. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon.

This was easily the worst day in my life.

Ha, this has nothing to do with you, as I hope you're aware, but that date is burned into my mind. I just relived the one year anniversary, and then I see your join date and I did a double-take.

All's cool a year later, except for hardons! But I got no woman around anyway.

Thanks for the reply. I have a wife in the picture so this is a problem. I have an appointment may 1 st for a 6 week post surgery check up and a traveling nurse show and tell on Tri mix willowy I all know how it works out

David1,

I can't say for sure, but even though a lot of guys really like the Vacurect pump, there seems to be a good fraction of users who also don't like it or where it doesn't work well enough. Partly it might be just getting used to it, shaving, etc etc.

But if it just does not work, maybe you could try the more traditional pump (everything that Vacurect claims NOT to be ) ,, manual or battery motor, regular rings -- not 'discs'.

I have used a plain old Encore Battery pump for 4 years (a portion of that for actual intercourse use and the last few years just for rehabbing/maintaining length/girth. It has always given a good erection right from the first day 4 weeks after RRP surgery. And its use caused me to even outgrow the original tube (they sell a larger tube and that is what I have used for about 3+ years).

That plus using good Osbon rings .. and even the Soft Penile Sleeve. They've all worked well .. never did I not have a massive erection produced -- way more than anything I get from Trimix.

They are fairly cheap -- around 100-125 for battery version -- which is the only one I have ever used.

Something to consider even if Trimix works -- you still want to rehab regularly with a pump to maintain length and even improve girth.

Also, very curious to know about how people view Vacurect compared to a traditional VED.

If Vacurect works well, I'd think more people would use it.
