Dave,

Congratulations on the LGX implant. I got mine implanted about 2-1/2 weeks ago. Still dealing with a bit of pain and a significant amount of swelling in the scrotum but I was allowed to begin inflating/deflating 1 week after surgery and it was at that point that I realized that, indeed, I have a PERMANENT solution to my ED problem of 15 years.

Hang in there, keep ice available and work through the pain because I is all worth it!

Post Surgery - Day 4

All seems to be going ok – touch wood (so to speak). I've not been able to say that for a few years I can tell you <grin> and I’m uncomfortable more than in pain.

After surgery I was left inflated and with a catheter and left that way overnight. Next day the surgeon said all had gone well and took out the catheter, deflated the implant (most uncomfortable bit so far) and once I could pee ok I was free to go. Armed with 7 days worth of pills, anti-biotic, anti-inflammatory and pain killers made the 3 hour journey home. I felt fine all the way home however by the time I arrived the swelling had started. Not too bad though, scrotum (about the size of an orange). Bruising came out at day 2/3, scrotum and either side of the shaft.

At day 4 the swelling seems to be subsiding slightly as does the bruising and all in all I don’t feel too bad. As I said before uncomfortable rather than in pain. Though I am taking it easy and keeping my feet up.

Will keep you posted on my progress and if I can get the photos sorted I will post those as well.

Back to the hospital in 2 weeks to have my implant “cycled” will get advice on the next stage from there.
