1) Will I be able to lift heavy after recovery? (e.g. i'm 190lbs but I currently deadlift 465lbs, Squat 335lbs)
2) FOR PATIENTS THAT USE VED PRIOR- Did you get back your length to where you were in the tube before?
3) Does your penis cosmetically look different after the swelling goes down in a few weeks? Like can you still see the veins and everything like before?
4) How does girth change over time with the IPP?
1. Don't plan on lifting much more than a pillow DURING recovery. I'm a regular in the gym too (not nearly your level of poundage), and was told not to lift more than 20 pounds for the first 6 weeks. I found myself one day asking the young man at the grocery store to put my cases of water in my car. I felt kind of embarrassed because i look strong. I said "look, i know i look pretty strong, but i just had some surgery and can't lift much, would you mind?". He didn't bat an eye. Good kid. At 6 weeks got the go-ahead to return to the gym, but to ease back into it and be very aware of any pain down below. Now at 8 weeks I'm lifting at about 50% pre-surgery, increasing all the time. Aggressively on the elliptical for :20 minutes daily.
2. I think a full suction in the VED REALLY engorges your dick. When i used one, my dick looked huge (it's not). As soon as the i'd release the pressure i'd watch my dick shrink before my eyes to less impressive level. I doubt you'll get to that super-vacuumed boner in the tube. Your mileage may vary. Just an opinion. Not backed up by any facts.
3. Yes. It's different. When you begin cycling in an unaroused state there's a good chance you'll find your dick more "oval" than before. Keep in mind though, emphasis on "unaroused". You'll likely not be aroused when cycling. When aroused, if you have no circulatory issues, the hormones of arousal will cause blood to flow into your glans and the tissue UNDER your dick, under the implant....called the spongiosum. I find now that with my dick pumped up, AND aroused, that it appears much more normal...complete with veins.
4. I'll have to let you know. Only 2 months in. But, when inflated it's certainly WIDER than before. But, referring to #3 above, it's also "flatter". Getting blood in to the glans and spongiosum is a game changer regarding appearance.
Don't expect to be aroused while cycling, though your dick is hard. Especially aggressive cycling which is inherently uncomfortable. I masturbated starting at about 6 1/2 week out. The first time i pumped up hard. It was uncomfortable. That took away arousal. My glans and spongiosum didn't swell. Later, i masturbated at a lesser lever (about 80-85%), it didn't hurt and as orgasm approached everything swelled up and i looked normal again. Was greatly relieved.
