21 DAYS POST OP UPDATE

[K9Sgt13]

HONESTLY DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN, LETS START WITH CYCLING AT DAY 4 AS PER DR EID WHO WANTS HIS PATIENTS TO BEGIN CYCLYING AFTER 72 HOURS POST OP. LET ME JUST SAY IT WAS NOT EASY, THE SWELLING WAS UNBEARABLE, THE PAIN AND SORENESS HAD ME GOING NUTS LIERALLY. I DID NOT TAKE THE PAIN MEDS AS I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING THAT CAN BE HABIT FORMING. SO I JUST TUFFED IT OUT. SLEEPING ON MY BACK WITH RAISED LEGS HELPED BUT ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME. I FOUND MY RECLINER TO BE MY FRIEND. SO BACK TO DAY 4-20 THE CYCLING FELT STRANGE AT FIRST BUT AS TIME WENT, IT BECAME EASIER. I CAN GET 20-30 PUMPS AND BE ROCK HARD, WHICH IS GREAT BUT MY LOSS OF SIZE IS A LITTLE DISHEARTINING . THE ONLY GOOD THING IS I HEAR IF I CYCLE 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY WITH CERTAIN EXERCISES IT WILL COME BACK TO NATURAL SIZE (I HOPE) . I HAVE THE TITAN COLOPLAST 22CM AND MEASURE ABOUT 4 1/2 FROM MY ORIGINAL 6 1/2 PRE OP SIZE. I WILL BE USING IN THIS WEEKEND ON DAY 24 AND I CANNOT WAIT, ALREADY KNOW POSSIBLE SORENESS WILL FOLLOW, BUT I DONT CARE. i WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THE SESSION WENT !!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Eid is a fantastic surgeon and I’m sure that he sized you correctly. Keep following doctor’s instructions and I have no doubt that you will get back to your pre-op length. It just takes time, and you are very early in the recovery process. I am six months post-op with a Titan, and now .25 inch more than my pre-op length. But that’s still just a little bit short of my best ever length, when I was in my 20’s. I’m in my 70’s now, and very happy with the results.
Best of luck to you. The difficult part is behind you now.
