What to expect?

[Old Guy]

Thanks Guys! I’m still in the “scared shitless” mode, but I know I have no choice but to go through with it, so I will. I just hope I don’t feel like I’ve been castrated afterwards.

You might have a couple of days right after surgery where you ask yourself "What the hell did I let them do to me?"
The first couple of weeks tend to be the worst. After you heal up you'll be asking why I didn't do this sooner.

Good Luck, heal quickly.

How are you doing now? I'm scheduled for Monday..

I’m doing really good. The only discomfort I’m having now, and today is day 22, is some sensitivity on the incision on my scrotum. Yesterday I pulled about 3 more stitches out of it. I thought they were supposed to dissolve but these were nylon.

Other than that, I’m still partially inflated until I go to my first follow up on Tuesday. I’m not sure what % they inflated me to so I’m pretty anxious to see what the final size will look like. I don’t think I’m going to lose anything, I hope not. I have some numbness on the underneath on my shaft (I had the penoscrotal incision).

I think the key to my recovery was icing 15 minutes on and 10 to 15 minutes off for the first 3 days except while I was sleeping. Following that, I used a heating pad for as long as I could stand it, usually about 20 minutes, whenever I felt uncomfortable. I continued the ice as needed until about day 11 or so. Also, on day 12 I started taking baths. I’m taking a 45 minute bath every night before bed and it’s wonderful!

My instructions when I left the hospital were: ice 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off for 48 hours, and start using heat after that. And begin warm baths beginning the second week. I thought it was too soon to start baths that early so I waited a few days. And stay laying on my back for 7 days!! When I would get up and walk around my scrotum would feel like it was on fire for about 10 days or so!

Good luck! Take it easy and use lots of ice!

How did your surgery go? How r u feeling?

I think everything went real well. I’m feeling great now, day 22. I’m anxious to go for my follow up appointment next Tuesday and see what the final result is going to look like. I seem to be able to feel the pump well enough to operate it now. For awhile I didn’t know if I’d be able to feel it, but the swelling has pretty much gone.

I haven’t started cycling yet, I was told not to mess with it or I may damage it. So I’ll wait until Tuesday to proceed.

I’m glad to hear it’s working out really great for you! That’s nice to know. Good luck!

Yes ofcourse never do anything without doctor's approval I was curious to understand where you stand. So good luck for tuesday followup and to start cycling. It will be difficult at the beginning but easy peasy after few weeks when you are all healed up..
