Welcome to the bionic gang!
and yes, all that will disappear soon and you will have a new and functional dick again.
Don't worry and relax, the first days might be tough, but it'll be bette and better by each day.

All the best

Thanks Dan, I'm looking forward to that day. I'm married 46 years but reading about your sexual adventures sends my imagination wild.
And your Pornhub stuff is pretty cool .

Greetings from Tasmania. Thanks for posting. I read your post with interest. A 21cm implant sounds massive. Lucky guy, and no RTE. Which seems to me the way to go these days.
Hope you are improving day by day. Please keep us posted.

Hi John, Looking forward to getting back to Tassie again at some point. We've been there about 15 times.
I had a long discussion with my surgeon in the lead up, including about sizing etc. I asked him about RTEs and he will use them when needed. He took the time to explain about getting the distal and proximal measurements etc. He knows I'm trying to restore pre RRP size and was really happy the morning after my surgery when he told me that he was able to fit the LGX 21 cm, which is the longest length in the LGX series AFAIK. I'm not a large guy and I was a bit surprised, but it's in there and I have the official paperwork, so it must fit. Despite the expected post op discomfort it doesn't feel like it's pressing too far into the glans, so I think he has got it right. Either I did a good job with the VED therapy, or maybe I'm bigger than I remember .
Good luck with your own journey. I see you are having success with injections, which is a great solution if it works for you.

We’ll be here to help when we can, answering questions that we have experience with.

Heal up,

Thanks SWorks, been reading your very helpful posts for a while. I'm a sometimes cyclist too.
Hoping to get back on the bike eventually. I've been using cutout Italian Selle SMP saddles for years, that take pressure off the perineum.

I got back on my bike after 4 weeks; being back on the saddle wasn't painful but it took a little bit before it felt normal. You'll be back out there soon.

I also considered the Rigicon Infla10 Pulse AX, which is available here. He has also implanted those but said that the last couple he did the patients were not happy with the results, so we ruled it out.

I'm planning to get the Rigicon next month, but now I'm wondering why his patients weren't happy with it. Did he give you any more info?

I delayed getting an implant in the hope that the erectile nerves may recover. I asked my urologist in January if he has had anyone come back after more than 3 years. He told me that he has only ever had one guy who recovered good erectile function naturally, after 4 years, but he was much younger than me...
...

...I chose to use my existing urological surgeon. We have very few high volume implanters in Australia, in fact probably only one or two who would qualify using USA parameters and they are both interstate, which would not work for me. We just don't have the same population size. Much less volume, but my own urologist implants regularly, usually two or three a month. I have grilled him at length about how he would ensure that my surgery is successful. He was very keen to ensure the outcome I wanted and so far so good. I'm not overly well endowed, probably average, but he was able to implant the AMS LGX 21 cm with no RTEs (MS pump) and was really happy with the results when we discussed it the day after my operation.

I was very much in the same shoes as you were. RP as well though they did remove one nerve due to possible encroachment - turns out there was none - but I digress. We took a year to be sure I had ZERO function return - I too did pills and injections, and for me the scarring / Peyrones was terrible (see my implant thread - link in signature for before pics). I'm just past the three month mark and on the road to recovery. I'm very glad I went through the surgery - though I could have done without the reason why (RP and ED caused by it - all because of Cancer) but hey - I'm here and functional again - I'll take the win!

Best of luck on your healing journey - its going to take a lot of patience and time.

No he didn't go into any detail, but I didn't get the impression that the devices had mechanical problems or anything like that. Please don't let it concern you, I still think the Rigicon is an excellent choice. Apart from that discussion, ultimately my decision came down to that he has a vast amount more experience implanting BS/AMS devices, mainly the LGX. He had only started doing Rigicon maybe 12 months ago. I got the impression that it may have shaken his confidence in continuing with them because those couple of people weren't happy for whatever reason. I also don't know how far into recovery they were. It may be that they are now more satisfied with further use, cycling and so on, who knows. I had researched both options and was prepared to go either way up until that point. I'm sure you will have done the due diligence and have a good surgeon, and looking forward to a great outcome.

Thanks very much equusAz. I have read much of your own journey and it looks like you are doing really well.
Yes, I sometimes find it hard not to be bitter about getting PC, but that's life and you have to deal with it.
Someone once said that life is like a box of chocolates .
I'm also grateful that I'm still here and been able to find solutions to the negative side effects from the surgery.
My patience is definitely being tested at times currently, and I'm really looking forward to the 6 week activation and deflation.
If only for comfort's sake, and to be able to not walk around looking like I've been riding a horse .

Thanks for your generous reply, LGXDownunder. Good luck with your recovery.
