Gaining length

[gatech96]

Very positive post. I am 4 weeks post-implant surgery and not too proud of my first pump length. Blessed though, I was able to get the implant. Thanks for the encouragement in sharing your length gains over time..

I would like to add to the optimism being expressed by others in this thread. Post surg I was at 5.6” inflated— about .4” inch less then the 6” Eid had measured pre-op and guaranteed post-op, and I was quite depressed about it.
My implant was only 18 cm no RTEs so I felt I had little potential growth. But thanks to posting by the brothers, I dug into the combination of cycling, VED, and Perito exercises. I am at 9 months out now and happy to report that I have gained back my 6” plus another inch to 7” — even with that 18 cm implant! Also I have added some girth to 5” from about 4” measured by Eid pre-op.
I am still doing the exercises, though not with the intensity others have reported.

Damn, crazyjoe, an extra inch in both length and girth in 9 months must be a record. I was a similar size to you pre-surgery and I thought I was doing great at .65” increase in 10 months. Do you mind getting into the specifics of your routine?

Sure thing Searching: nothing original, just Perito

Takes some courage the first few times for fear of breaking it. Then VED to the max — I got some mild edema a few times but no damage, then just regular cycling. I got these from the FT brothers, bless them for sharing, especially the Perito to which I give the greatest credit.
Thanks for your question. Just PM me if you wish.

Yep, pretty straightforward. I’m wondering about how often you do the full routine, and how long your VED sessions last? I find that doing stretches + VED makes me sore and requires a few days off, and I’m only doing VED for 5 minutes at ~200mbar. Happy to take this conversation to PM if you prefer, but my thinking is to have this information sharing in the public forum so that others can learn from it now and in the future.

Thanks for the question, Searching. I have been doing VED nearly daily but only for about 10 minute sessions. I have a LeLuv pump and I go up to about 15 on its scale
, which some brothers have called insane but it doesn’t feel like too much to me, i rarely get edema and that’s only whenI go over 15 — I dunno…
I vigorously do Perito every time I cycle daily — bless his educational heart — and I can nearly always get a couple extra pumps after that.
As I commented in my first post in this thread, there are brothers who seem to much more actively and frequently go through similar routines. Maybe the greater pressure I use in the VED is a factor in my success — maybe not but I notice that my starting length when I do VED has been getting longer and longer. And as I said, I am merciless in my Perito’ing which is certainly counter intuitive compared to doing that with my former natural dick.
I expect to hear some criticism of my VED use, it’s just my personal experience fwiw, and I believe has contributed to my gains in length — again from just a 18 cm implant which is the lowest I have heard of on this forum.
Thanks again for the question, my best to you.

This is good information for future use. I sure wish I knew all this stuff when I was implanted. I didn't get any education from my surgeon except "go use it." I didn't find FT until five months after my surgery.
Couple of things I wish FT would do is make the site easier to search up. My searching to find info never found this site. Another would be to make certain posts a sticky so it stays on the top.

CrazyJoe, et. al.,

I am very fortunate because my doctor, Dr. Yafi of UCI, told me, “Don’t worry, we size aggressively here.” A few weeks out of surgery I was a 1/4” shy of my pre-surgery length and at 6 weeks I was at my pre-surgery length. I am 78 years old and married 55 years and I don’t have much interest in gaining length, my length has worked fine for all these years. I think this 1/4” improvement in length actually came from the reduced swelling between the ruler and bone when measuring bone pressed length.

I have considered using a VED to see if it improves glans engorgement when just pumping with no VED. I am getting glans engorgement, but not like when I was using tri-mix which kind of spoils you. I would like to see comments on what the VED exercises after implant have had on glans engorgement when just using normal inflation. Has it improved?

The other question I have is the length gained due to the stretching of the implant cylinders, or the stretching the tissues of the penis or both? The reason I ask are the tips of the cylinders in the same relative position in the glans after many months of VED stretching. I don’t know the answer to this, but I am wondering if the penis is stretching more than the cylinders which could lead to developing a floppy head? This might be a good question for the manufacturers.

Bottom line guys, we all had ED or we would never have come to FT, just remember we bionic brothers now have a fantastic, working dick, just be careful you don’t get wrapped around the axle about length. The length you are attempting to change is important to you, not so much to the ladies.
