My length although only about 40-50% pumped up seems about right for amount of fluid in it. Getting very anxious to put the pumps in to see wheee I’m really at. Dr insisted I wait til 6 weeks to start cycling as incision in cavernosa was slightly larger due to multiple surgeries. I’ll probably deflate and gradually pump back where I am at around 4 weeks and hold off on lots of pressure til 6 weeks as he explained. Planning a 7 day work/vacation with the wife in charlotte NC and driving to the east coast for a few days in late October. Should be my 8th week so hopefully able to start breaking this thing in properly during that trip!


Thanks for the update and wishing you a speedy recovery!! This was with Clavell right?

Wishing you the best outcome, Rider.

I appreciate you sharing this journey. I might be one revision away from an infection, and your journey will be invaluable to me whenever the bird hits the fan, as they say.

You mentioned you got a 20cm plus 1cm RTE on your post but your signature mentions 22cm minus 1cm. Which one was it? It is really cool to see the 22cm trimmed down since it could give you a better rigidity than you originally had. Good thing that it seems you have the same size as your first surgery despite you having an infection. What do you think attributed to you keeping your size? VED?

I thought he told me after surgery that I got a 22cm w one trimmed but wife thought he said a 20 plus one.waiting for his surgical notes or I’ll just ask him in a couple days. I do remember seeing an 18,20, and a 24 on the table beside me going into surgery. Will update my signature when I find out if it’s different.
Definitely was the VED use that as Dr said measured out to be the same outside my body as before. Said he pumped it up immediately after install and it was where the previous one was. Time will tell. Obviously I don’t want to lose any but at this point I don’t think a 1/4 would make any difference. I will work it to death after Dr gives me clearance and hopefully regain all I had in girth and length.
