I did my pre-op yesterday and they gave me an anti-bacterial body wash to shower with the night before and then morning of my surgery. Also, I get 6 Cipro tablets to take 2 day before, 2 the day of, and 2 the day after.

Thanks guys for the advice. It has three weeks to grow. I won't dare touch it between now and then. Jim

One week to pre-op now, 11 days to surgery. I don't know whether I am looking forward to that or not! I am sure that the results will get my feelings and something else up for sure. Waiting; exquisite torture.

Well gently but persistent massage now has that item for discussion of flacid length up to a consistant 6 1/2 inches, working for 7. All kinds of internal feelings to explore at a later date. I think that with care I can feel when the RP surgeons (yes, I had two urological surgeons working in there at the same time to reduce the time open) did their damage.

Had to take a break from work for a minute. Now back to what will always be software.

Back again, more observations as time for surgery draws near.

Question, Is the implant the E.D. answer to the Erector Set?

Now for something more serious, as I was doing my stretching I noticed something that I know will change. How long does it take to get used to the changes in the flacid size and rell of an implanted peis. I expected the length difference: for me it was 2 to one erect to flacid. What I didn't recognize until last night is the difference in flexibility. All the notes about buckling and the like led me to realize that I will never be as flexble flacid as I have been. I can actually stretch my penis out a little and roll it up like a hose. How many more little surpises to go with the big change?

It is very easy to get used to your new flacid size, don't worry. About flexiblity, my 700lgx can be very flexible and it was one of my concerns as well, but after the swelling goes complety away, about a month or so I think you won't have this as a big worry, especialy if you get the lgx or other AMS, the titan is stiffer, they say, but I am sure that I could be happy with that unit as well.
Good luck

The count down begins: Two days to pre-op. Six days to surgery!!

Wish it were 10/2 or rescheduled for today! Anticipation, anxiety; good support from this board, but I still want it done and over.

FWIW, 3 wks I am not at all sorry that I have had this done. I basically had no options. I just need to start experimenting with it, especially after my doc's visit today. The sitting up and getting out of bed was a little challenging, but other than that....it was okay. So far, the head of my penis is irritated...not red or swollen....just irritated. This board has been a God send.

I am guessing that you are in Hendersonville, TN....I am in Nashille.
