Malleable journal - nervous but hopeful

[duke_cicero]

UPDATE: I am now getting a Coloplast Genesis instead of the Tactra.

Duke, what was the rationale behind the change? Was it surgeon's recommendation, or did you change your mind? Either way, you can't beat the 20-year track record of the Genesis.

Surgeon's recommendation!

Thank you, cbinspok — I'll definitely keep folks apprised! I'm trying to stay positive.

Duke my brother my friend wish u all the very best.stay calm and updates us as i m also same like u and waiting for my Genesis

Thank you my brother, I'm trying to stay calm!

UPDATE: Everything went great. The doc said he put in the longest possible malleable and used the 11mm Genesis. I'm supposed to follow up with him in a month to get looked at and have him see how things are going. I'm not in too much pain but I'm definitely bruised up pretty good. Just going to take it easy. I think if anything I gained girth. Feeling pretty proud of myself. I can't believe I made this happen. Fingers crossed everybody! Thank you so much for the support. It means so much to me.

Oh that's the other thing — I was told explicitly NOT to use ice, which is interesting. But yes my brother, soon you'll be in the gang! I'm looking forward to being cleared for sex so I can call my girlfriends and ask them if they notice anything different

Congrats Duke! I’m very happy for you. I hope you have a textbook recovery and get cleared for playtime as soon as possible!

After the local anesthesia wears off (usually in 2–3 days), make sure to keep your prescription pain meds or Ibuprofen/Tylenol with you at all times. Try to limit movement until you’ve figured out how to manage any discomfort effectively.

Out of curiosity, what reasoning did your surgeon give for recommending Genesis over Tactra, which you initially had in mind? I’d love to hear his clinical reasoning, if you don’t mind sharing.

Thank you! This is all very helpful. I’ve been in my chair with my legs/feet elevated all afternoon and feel great. Trying to limit movement as much as possible.

My surgeon recommended the Genesis at the last minute because he did a bend test on the Tactra and the Genesis and called me to say that he thinks I should have the more concealable one. It’s something I’ve heard here a bunch, and honestly felt really protected hearing this from my doctor.

Now you’ve got me all nervous about the local anesthetic wearing off…lol

This is hilarious! Since I’m a Chicago guy, however, I insist that we refer to my penis as the Hancock!

[duke_cicero]

Also, for general interest. It’s worth mentioning that my doctor said he noticed no scar tissue inside my penis, which I was concerned about since the whole reason I have ED is because of a bicycle accident. I was sure I would be doomed in this respect and that my penis would be a graveyard of old scar tissue. But there was none.
