Here is the beginning of my Implant journal.

T Minus - 1 day 10 hours, and about 20 minutes. Until the surgery…..

Surgery is Friday 7:30am at the ENT Hospital here in NY.
I will be arriving at 5:30am to do paperwork, and get prepped, I am EID’s first surgery of the day.

Had a nice dinner tonight, and some drinks, for the last time for now, no drinking tomorrow.
Starting tomorrow, Nicole my medical assistant will be staying with me, almost 24/7.
Today she met EID and staff, so she is updated with the aftercare. I could probably handle it, but just nice to have a woman here to tend to my needs.

I am staying at the Fitzpatrick, so not far from where the surgery will happen.

I did pre-op today, Dr. EID said I am very healthy after checking urethra, bladder, etc. and very good blood flow, but…. I have a venous leak loosing about 40% of my blood flow… well that explains it.

I should keep my length, 15cm or about 6”, but may loose a little girth, as he commented that I am more wide, but may fill back out in time to my norm. That’s ok as long as I can function.

Sat / Sun I will be on my back icing, and

Monday see EID for post-op checkup, catheter removal, and hopefully activation and training. — Mira told me take Percocet before coming Monday, so I can handle the pain… — Wonderful.. but. At least I can see it in action.

Tuesday I fly back to California, so on a plane all day. I am gold to keep the scrotum out front, and don’t sit on the pump… haha… ya…. Ok.

Little nervous but ready to cross the line and get this show started.

I am very thankful for this site, and all the advise and posts. I have been a member over 5 years, maybe more like 14… when I started I did info on the X4 extender.

Now it’s time to join the bionic club.

More to come in days following

Stay tuned.

Hello Treetop,

Wish you good luck for your surgery. You have chosen one of the best in the business as your surgeon and I am sure you will come out as a happy man. Dr. Eid is a very thorough professional. He keeps all points covered and gives you a lot of detailed material to read and carry home with precise instructions for pre and post op care.
I was lucky to see him as my first surgeon but could not get my surgery from him as he fell ill. I hope he has now recovered well and continues to practice for a long time as a lot of men need his help.

There are a lot of good journals here which cover the implant journey with Dr. Eid. I am sure you would have read a few. Do keep us updated on your progress and I am sure you will be a happy man soon.

Just remember that improvement happens every day and sometimes it may feel you are in a mess, but I promise you it will improve.

Good luck yet again.

Regards,
Atul

Thank you for that.
Just a little less than 23 hours, and I am under the knife….
TT

Go get some sleep.

Dr Eid is the best. I had my surgery in January.

Just had a 6 month check up.

Hes awesome

Yes… thank you
11:30 pm night before…. Got some nerves…
But 24 hours I’ll be bionic .. its just icing and pain management next…

21 hours post….

I will do this by the hours..
0$:30 checkin at the ENT Hospital

Took maybe 20 minutes before I am called, info taken, given wrist band, back to waiting room.
Maybe 10 to20 called 2nd time, put into chair, in the back, More questions. Out of the clothes, gown on.
Nicole allowed to join me and the IV Drips start.

Anathesiologist comes and we agree on epidural
EID makes a showing, says I am late… haha..hospital not me… late.
I now have monitoring,and they are pumping hot air under my blankets as it is cold.

Not sure of time… but Nicole leaves with the claim slip to get me later, and I am wheeled to. 2nd floor.
I am assisted onto the operating table, I am sitting bent over for the epidural,.not really painful, easy.
I am laid down and things are getting cloudy. My arms are strapped down to the sides, and I can feel them cleaning my body.

Next I remember voices… EID says operation went great and he will see me Monday.

I am out of it, put into recovery. According to Nicole, recovery was 4 hours. I come out of my cloud durring this time,given water juice. Pain is a 2 or 3 numb balls…
I am in and out of sleep… at some.point, they make sure I can stand.. ithink. And move me to secondary recovery where Nicole joined me.
Another hour, and now pain has crossed a 5 and clearly accending.. I ask for meds and give an OXY, — pain soon descending.

They make sure I can walk and discharge me. Pain 3 or 4

Next 18 hours consists of icing and taking prescribed meds. About 1am, it comes — maybe 4 or 5 huge pukes… like exorcist style, all over the bathroom, had to be all my fluids….
Somehow we cleaned up, back to sleep… pain still not super bad

9am - (now). Icing my balls, swelling is down, pain low and I may not take more pain meds.

EID told me to take 2 pain meds Monday for my (hopefully) activation. 2 days from now.

I will order breakfast soon, but now very happy because almost no pain, and feeling good.

More to follow.

27 hours…

I can feel my pump already…
Monday visit with EID should go well

3 Days - Post Op with EID

Not a bad day, took an OXY (1 only) an hour before going in per EID instruction's…. Went in the back got into a gown, and Mira removed the tape on my body, and the catheter, then another nurse came in and cleaned me up a little, some dried blood. Finally I see it ( pictures below ) not so bad….. it’s all still numb, and Dr. EID said that is the epidural still wearing off. He said swelling was down, and happy with my condition. Asked me to go for it, but first I released some fluid, to make sure I could, and then I pumped up, slow and gentle… he stopped me when I was stiff, probably because I was doing it slow and he just wanted to make sure I could do it, so I release again, and he showed me how to really squeeze the fluid out.

Little painful, but I was ok. With that they sent me on my way, and said I can do a 3 month video follow up.

Dr. EID said I had a 22cm, but he trimmed a little as he thought it was too big, I disagree as I look way too small—- BUT —- I know I have read many posts here with same and most say I will get it back with regular cycling.

Does not matter, as I now have a dick to learn how to use, to train, and become expert at, and get past the painful part.

Back to hotel, Dr. said 4 hot baths today, and 2 cycles every day for 3 weeks…. So here we go. Bath #1 this hotel has child size bath, so hard to be under water. But did ok, started pumping… the pump is very stiff, and yes, gets very ache… did some with right, then left, wait few minutes, pump more. Stood up… ok that hurts but wanted to see my erection in the mirror. Points straight out… little disappointing as my natural erection was maybe 60 or 70 degrees and not 90, but again, happy to have a working cock. Maybe that changes with time, as I am only 3 days out…..

More laying in tub, more pumping… I need stronger hands, but switching between right and left.

At 40 minutes I threw in the towel… and released and pushed it all. Out…. Relief ….

I hope I can do this every day, even after the epi wears off…

Dry off and get a massage. More to follow… Looking forward to getting past the painful part…

Congratulations!! looks good! Dr Eid did mine a couple years ago. Lol i am the same size and he said the same about some lost girth but hell this titan is awesome!! Best on your flight back.

Just finished another cycle … seems like it takes 10 to 15 minutes for me to get it fully hard from complete empty…. Part of that is I am not experienced, pain, stiff pump, and … I need stronger hands. Maybe stronger will… haha.
Anyway, here is the erect picture. I am not hard as wood, as some describe, but I hope in time that will come.
