Well, today I was implanted. Surgery was at 10:00am and I was in the car, headed home around 4pm.

Kramer implanted an AMS 700 LGX, 21cm with 2 RTEs. Apparently (now remember I am on pain meds right now, so I may have to come back and correct some of this), there was no bleeding and went smooth as silk. Funnily enough, waiting in prep, I got an erection (when I say erection, I mean my kind of soft erection). Per Kramer, I may be back to light exercise in as little as a week and a half. Activation, 4 weeks.

Of course, I have more questions for him, but completely forgot them in post op. Also, as I thought, not an insignificant level of pain. I am hoping to go off pain meds by Friday at the latest, frankly hoping I can go off tomorrow. But tonight, I am taking those puppies. After two rotator cuffs, knees, spine and elbow surgery, I am a firm believer in getting ahead of the pain with medication. Not to mention using Ducolax from the start.

I am packed into the jock, and leaving it alone tonight. So have no idea how inflated i am (one of the questions I meant to ask). I know I am pointing straight up because I still have the catheter (coming out tomorrow). I can tell scrotum is swollen, all the normal stuff.

One of the first benefits of this is the removal of anxiety. No worrying about whether I should do it, what will the pain level be, etc. Its done, now planning my new workout plan, getting into a new level of fitness (no more worrying about TRT aspects of ED, now just full speed ahead). Thanks for being a sounding board guys.

Congrats dcmusc
Stay off your feet is the best advice. If you do have pain, swelling or discoloration use ice or frozen peas. Helps tons. Rest and watch TV. I know you mentioned the Ducolax. That is good. Last thing you wanna do now is work hard to push out a deuce. But remember the pain meds contribute to the constipation. Best to you.

Ice ice and more ice. Good luck buddy

Advil as soon as you can, if you can tolerate it. Knocks the swelling down pretty quick. I did 800mg every 6 hours. A baby sock on youri dick will help protect it while in the jock or underwear.

I missed the baby sock idea. I only have a little soreness in the afternoon and the Coloplast guy told me to put a baby sock on it. Feels like I am totally healed. I wish I would have known it 8 weeks ago

ice ice baby..... ice ice baby

Awesome. Off your feet, peas for supper after they thaw. Heel well. Cheers.

Congratulations; come on in the water is fine. I am only 3 days ahead of you on my second go round.

Now is the real torture, waiting to use it.

Really thrilled to hear the news, DC! When we spoke, I could all but predict you'd do great. You have a wonderful attitude about it all, you asked even me some awesome questions... and you were doing more homework on top of all you'd already done! **Keep it up, Buddy!** Wishing you plenty of mileage on that thing in years and years and years to come!

Congratulations,
Welcome to the bionic brotherhood. Take it easy. Rest. Heal. Pump. Fuck. In that order.
