Activated today
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 6:43 pm
Well I finally got activated today. It is 2 days shy of being 8 weeks since I got the implant. It should have happened 2 weeks ago.
However, there were scheduling issues (me not the doctor) and then it was a bad snow storm.
When I left the hospital I was about 40% inflated. About 3 weeks later I had to return. It seems my messing around with the thing caused me to get fully inflated.
I was taken back down to 40% until today. This time I left it alone.
The whole appointment took about 10 minutes. I had no problem inflating or deflating. The doctor told me to pump to the maximum I could tolerate and
hold it for at least 20 minutes. He said I needed to do it daily for the next several months.
I gave it a try when I got home. Of course the first thing I did after that was take out a ruler. I am within 1/2" of my original length and 3/8" of my original girth.
I am very pleased to say the least.
I was glad to take some of the pressure off after 20 minutes. There was quite a stinging feeling at the tip of my glands.
I have discovered I don't like it fully deflated. It feels a lot more comfortable inflated to about 30%.
I was also told that there should be continuous improvement for about 1 year.
I am looking forward to later on tonight.
