Finally went ahead

YBird,

My dick was 60% inflated and if it is not supported it sticks pretty much straight out though I keep it pointing to my naval.

I had my implant surgery on this last Tuesday and I have had a really easy time, but used the drugs I was given. I had the choice to stay the night in the hospital or my wife's hotel room, we live 1 1/2 hours from the hospital, and I had a 5 AM check in and report back early the next for a check. Man, I am glad I chose to stay the night. I consider my swelling to be normal. I only took the Oxycodone the day I got home and the second day. Now Tylenol 1000mg three times a day keeps the hurt down.

I was told to lay as flat as I can for a few days and that's what I have done, I think that helps keep the swelling down. My pecker and balls never hurt; I have more discomfort from the reservoir if I move around. I sat on the toilet for the first time yesterday, big mistake, the stitches in my scrotum pulled and it was painful and it reopened the drain hole and I began bleeding which was minor and didn't last.

I was also told not to sit upright in a chair, either stand, recline or flat on the bed for 6 weeks. It does pull stitches, and the tubing stuff if I sit upright, so that reminds me to follow the doctor's orders. I also was told not to use my new dick for anything for 6 weeks.

My surgery was done by Dr. Yafi at UC Irvine, it is a teaching hospital so there were a lot of doctors around, MD's doing their residency which is 3 years! There were several in the operating room too.

I go back in 2 weeks for a checkup with the doctor's PA who I have already met.

I hope you are doing well YBird, I think we did the right thing.

Thank you Old Guy. Good advice. I am 3 days in now and starting to hurt a but so far not as bad as anticipated. Can't believe it will be easy to to deflate in 2 weeks with all the stitches etc.

So, you are a day ahead of me. Let's keep in touch to let each other know we are progressing.I have been been in bed since 22nd Sept and stayed in hospital over night, I have had to walk and sit in a chair on the cab and train on the way home. The odd thing is we are all told different things depending on the surgeon, nurses etc. I am going to take it easy though for at least the first 10 days in laying flat and then being careful afterwards.

Glad you are recovering also AmansinCali and yes I think we did the right thing.

CONGRATULATIONS ybird333 on making what I thought was a leap of faith, but now at 2.5 weeks am feeling great and ready to use this thing! AmansinCali and I had the operation the same exact day, so all 3 of us can lean on each other, especially given we all were sent home with similar instructions from our surgeons. My post is titled "27 years old. Surgery Tuesday 9/20/22". There you can see AmansinCali and I talk about our implant journey from having the surgery on the same day, as well as many other fine folks who chimed in to help. Please reach out anytime

Wow what a great read lads

I’m from the uk also

I’ve not had an implant….yet

I’m 36 years old and I’m petrified to try sex again as my mental health spirals horribly after failures

I get morning erections 2/3 times a week

I’m going to try to make myself date whilst trying daily 5mg of cialis

Even though I think my problem is massively psychological I would still like to rule of any physical issues and go and meet Ralph in person and pay privately for that consultation
Like Minnesota, you thought yours was psychological but turned out physical ?

I’m very confused on what route to take

I can get erect but it goes away quick once I stop fantasising and touching

God knows, who know what to do ey

Just want to get on with my blooming life haha

All my friends have wives or girl friends now too

I have good mates and a good family so im so grateful for that really am, couldn’t ask for more in that area but it’s purely this that is making me stuck in a rut

I think to my self just get an implant and move on and at my age maybe I can meet a woman and even maybe but I couldn’t ever imagine in my wildest dreams have a family too

I think all this waiting and worrying like I’m doing right now and have dove for the last 15/20 years is crazy

Had issues from day one up to now

16 to 36
20 years
Im surprised I’m not totally insane with that daily stress thinking about will I ever be normal and have a normal happy life

Sorry to rant just wanted to get my thoughts and feeling out there and see what you guys think

Good luck with everything gents.

I feel the same way bro

[ybird333]

I would definitely go and see Dr Ralph privately as a first step. He may get you to try some alternatives first as an implant is a last resort with no way back.

Good luck and keep us posted.
