Surgery complete.

My time has come. My one way ticket is purchased to the to the land of Bionic Brothers where I will formally be inducted as a member by Dr. Eid at 8:30 am est. I have done all I can to prepare physically and mentally. It is an utterly surreal feeling arriving at this cliff and looking over the edge. I’m scared out of my mind but nothing will stop me from taking that leap tomorrow. Thank you to the community for your continued support. I will update and report back all I can as many have done before me.

Final pre op measurements: L 7.25in W 4.85in

Catch you on the flip side fellas.

Update day 3.

First freak out. Pain still pretty crazy. The catheter is by far the most miserable aspect. Not something I could ever get used too.

Tim Oakes Eid’s NP shared with me opp notes. When they inflated me on table I was 6.75 inches. Which is the .5 inch loss I expected. So that’s not too bad at all. Prob get most back cycling and doing piertos. Still supremely impressed that Dr. Eid could fit a full 24cm Titan in me even with Crus obliteration. The man went to work.

Suppose to start cycling tomorrow which seems inconceivable. Yet, I will go for it if that’s what Dr. Eid recommends.

All and all….. the guys here who have noted easy recovery’s god blesss them. But I think my experience is much more in line with the norm which is prettt much a horror show the first couple days. A horror show that is worth enduring because our goal demands it.

I appreciate you man. And you are right…. This community is special. The level of support men get from other men who have walked 100 miles and more in their shoes. It’s incredible.I highly doubt I would have moved forward with the procedure with out this community.
