Implanted at 38 and concerned about size & revision

[merrix]

Good to hear from you. I know you were worried about size. Don't remember what you had before, but with a 24 cm Titan you will for sure not have a small dick. If that implant gives you roughly the same length as it gives me, you will be bigger than the average. And a super hard, on command erection, which is slightly larger than average, is overall not a bad dick...

For the infection risk - I know your feeling very well. I spent two weeks worrying about that as well, and so did Eid, because of my way worse than normal bleeding, swelling and pain.
Nothing to do, just sit it out and try not to psyche too much about it. Easy to say, I know...

Enjoy Bentley Hotel. Not my favorite place on the earth.
The thai delivery (Lu... or Nu... something) is good. The Indian (the closest one of them) is too.
And Lunetta pizza isn't too bad either. And maybe the best: The Mexican/taco/nachos chicken sallad from Wings. And why not a burger from Burger Heaven.
They all deliver to your room.

Crossing fingers for you.

moetheman, so glad to hear you've gotten this far. Praying all is well with the test. I cannot seem to avoid FT as much as I am trying but tonight I hit me today was the 23rd and had to look to see if there was any word. Heal well! sounds like you are well on the way now! Cheers!

Thanks Merrix for all your help with my revision journey. I'm not sure how you managed the first day or so by yourself after the op. My legs are so wobbly that I haven't even got out of bed. I'm so glad my wife is looking after me. Otherwise I probably would have had to crawl. The spinal anaesthesia still hasn't worn off after 8 hours of being discharged. Eid had to spend a lot longer on me. I must say having your journal has really helped me take some good points.

I had a 18cm titan with 3cm RTEs, so the new implant is significantly longer and without RTEs. I think the erection quality will be like night and day. I'm not worried about size as much now, soft glans was a major issue. Hopefully both should be resolved as long as I come out of this without an infection.

As it happened we had ordered luscious thai today anyway and throughly enjoyed it. Will also give a try to your other recommendations. I'm starting to feel some pain this evening and have been taking pain killers. Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep.

Thanks alibaba for checking on me. The hard part is done. As long as it is a smooth recovery then every day should show some improvement. I'm looking forward to some mobility but currently under orders to stay on my back till Saturday at least. Then Catheter removal is on Monday. I'm then flying back to the UK the same evening. Sounds a bit tight but hoping it will go according to plan.

I hope you're feeling a bit better now. Don't give up.

BEST OF LUCK Moetheman...
Interesting how different Drs do different things. You mention, being out of hospital same day, catheter stays in for 5 days and spinal 'anaesthetia'. Mine was an overnight stay with catheter removal next day.
Mind you maybe that is to save money. I just got my receipts from Medicare & Gap-Insurance. The hospital charged and received $85k, whereas looks like Dr charged $4500 and received just $1500.
That $85k sounds outrageous to me and makes me even more upset about my own situation. 18+4 AMS CX, 6-weeks post op, wait 3 more weeks before activation attempt, 6.75" pumped up before implant surgery, currently totally deflated at 3.25".
Sure hope your revision is TOTALLY successful and have a safe trip back to London - My home for first 33 years was Croydon, Surrey

My first op was also an overnight stay with general anaesthesia, discharged next day after catheter removal. I think Eid must have a reason to leave the Catheter in longer. I'll find out.

Hmm.. 9 weeks to activation sounds just a bit too long. I think somebody mentioned that Eid thinks that cycling only helps in the first 10 weeks post-op so you're cutting it quite fine. There are many accounts on FT of people gaining size over months to a year so you never know. It never really happened to me. I think I was 3.75" deflated 2 weeks post-op. Inflation added anther half inch or so and then I gained a bit through cycling (or reduced swelling and fat loss?) but then nothing after 2 months. It actually felt like it was getting a bit smaller again (maybe some fat gain after feeling down?). At best I was able to get closer to 5" and that's with arousal.

That 85k cost sounds horrendous. I didn't think insurance paid out the requested amount in full.

Medicare seems to cover hospitalisation(eng spelling) at 100%

I'm still feeling weak below the waist today. Standing and bending knees is not quite possible. They seem to buckle and have very little strength. I think it's a little bit better than yesterday but still a little bit worrying. I want to be up on my feet after a couple of days. Still under orders to stay on my back all day today and tomorrow. Hopefully by Saturday my legs would have recovered and I can be somewhat mobile.

You are weak below the waist from holding up that MASSIVE new implant!! Logs are heavy!
