From a guy who has been implanted 4 1/2 years.

I don’t think of it as an implant, or really anything foreign. It’s part of me. It was how they fixed my ED once and for all.

Your choice on whether to tell sex partners. They’re not necessarily going to know. I have the LGX. Flaccid it looks flaccid. A fairly large flaccid but still flaccid. Erect it’s within 4/100ths of an inch from where I started. I have a large-ish albeit not monster huge cock. I am perfectly ok with it. I like it. My wife likes it. What else could I need?

Guys differ on recovery. Some posters here have had more difficult recoveries. Mine was a piece of cake. Biggest challenge for me was just getting brave enough to inflate then dig around in a swollen nutsack for the deflate button.

They didn’t have implants like this when I was diagnosed in 1987. For that matter Viagra didn’t exist either. So I injected for 32 years. Let’s just say I am more satisfied with my cock and LGX now than I have ever been with any body part, ever.

I love my implant, sex is better now than ever before. I used to be around 6.85 pre ED, pre surgery length was 6-6.25, a year later i am 6.5-6.75 and girth went slightly down from 6.25 mid shaft to 6. Its my guess that most dont lose length but its a big deal if you do. Best of luck, i would recommend it even if i lost some length, being able to be patient and enjoy sex is priceless.

Little over two years with my titan. I’m loving it more every day! Lost a little over an inch initially but it all came back slowly over the first 10-12 months. The thing is rock hard and never lets up! If properly installed you should get many years of great sex out of it. As others have said first few weeks to first few months can be a little rough but it’s all worth it to say good by to ED! Sounds like you’re a perfect candidate for it! Just go for it!!

Hey there. So I was just given the go ahead to pump a couple days ago. The doctor pumped and deflated in the office and it was a little uncomfortable but not too bad. I've been more swollen since he did that and a little more tender than I was that day since then and am eager to start. I just don't want to do more damage. Did you say you would pump and deflate while still swollen? I've waited 2 days since then & it's a little better. I can for sure feel the pump bulb I'm just worried to pump it up and then not be able to deflate. It's not terribly swollen, but there's pockets of tissue or something around the deflate button currently making it kind of hard to feel where exactly it is. Did you just push through swollen tissue to deflate early on? Or could you really feel the deflate once you started? Thx

You say the surgeon just activated you. So I’m guessing you’re most likely about the 3 week mark?

I’ve got AMS equipment & you have Coloplast. A bit different, but similar enough.

Facts to know. Early forays into cycling/pumping will be accompanied by some discomfort. You’re wise to proceed with caution. You’re not going to hurt the equipment. You’re unlikely to damage yourself too badly. But (and this is opinion) I think the best approach is to let your body dictate what you do, knowing that some discomfort is normal.

Residual swelling is likely to rear its ugly head for 3 months—-maybe even close to 6 months after the procedure. I had a textbook surgery-no infection, rapid recovery, nothing I’d call pain (quite a bit of soreness) but still I had swelling going on periodically over 90 days after the operation.

I’m not sure about you but I was in the Army. Recovering from a cock implant isn’t ranger school. You don’t bust thru the pain to get full use of your system. You have to be the judge—-you will possibly need to push the envelope to progress but you’re right, inflamed tissues don’t heal as rapidly as their non aggravated counterparts.

Trial and error. Okay, I’m an old guy. In my 60s. In the gym I don’t want to tear up my rotator cuffs again so I do lower weights with lots of reps. Same concept. I want my convalescence to go well, I want my size back, and then I want to forget there’s an implant there except when I want a boner. Early on cycling irritates everything. So using the weight room model your process becomes continue to cycle, just maybe don’t inflate so much every time and limit the amount of time you stay pumped up.

I think it’s a best practice to establish a routine early on and it needs to be realistic enough to be achievable.

Some doctors are sort of laissez-faire about cycling and others are quite prescriptive. What did your doc tell you to do?

If I were you…..I’d try to inflate several times per day. I’d shoot for pumping to discomfort but not to pain. I would shoot for a duration that allowed me to inflate/deflate several times daily. Like I said…trial & error

Great analogy that makes perfect sense to me, thanks man. My surgeon said to go ahead and pump it twice a day for even just 90 seconds at first. I was 12 days out but healing well. I'm now at 2 weeks. I fully intended on it but for 2 days after that post op it was swollen enough again I couldn't feel the deflate button. I believe it was from all his handling pumping & inflating at the 12 day mark- irritated the tissues.
Anyway, after reading your post last night about being brave and just finding the deflate button, I went ahead and pumped last night up to very mild discomfort. Busted out the ruler too. And pretty happy about length being 7" already. I'm sure I could pump it more but it's so early. Girth im a little meh on as it was a bit over 5" so hoping that comes back. But I "bravely" & successfully pumped up this morning too. Just gotta push through the swell a little bit. It's not as painful as I thought it would be pushing through the inflammation, so I thank you for your shared experience as it helped me. I was just being scared but the discomfort is so minimal that it's surely not doing any damage. Cheers!

the question is is it worth having the implant? the answer is yes if everything goes well, it didn't go well for me, but not bad either, let's say I'm at the limit, but I want to fix it, in September I should have an overhaul, I realize that if a system works perfectly it's fantastic, it works always and have amazing fucks

GJ, it is definitely worth it :!:

I'm thankful that I didn't have total ED as long as some men on here. My dick worked on and off with Viagra and Cialis but I had already started to talk to my urologist about the implant. I had a benign enlarged prostrate, so he wanted me to have the Rezum procedure to reduce my prostrate. After the prostrate procedure, noting would work, nothing :!:

I used a VED for three months before I got my implant. It is so good to have sex again and satisfy my wife.
