Did the doc say when you would pump for the first time?

To answer your question about the titan, yes the titan models 24cm, 26cm and 28cm are a separate product from 22cm and below. The 24cm and up models are called "titan XL" and they do allow a bit more girth.


Thanks a lot brother, yes he might deflate me next week so I can get on a plane (im interstate). I had the TEP procedure done too, so I think it requires being inflated for longer before you start cycling.

That's great, so having a titan 24cm and above should allow additional girth?

Man it feels too good to be true, that my peyronies journey is over, that I don't have to worry about peyronies pain, or ED, never being able to perform, not having sex. I can't fathom what this will be like.

Day 3:

Discharged from hospital, pain is still there but it is bearable with the medications they give.

Getting from the hospital to the hotel, the nurses suggested wearing two underwears and tight pants to tuck the penis upwards towards the abdomen, I did this okay, although with a lot of pain. It seems crazy how in contrast, with a peyronies erection, you would not want to bend it in any way, I wouldn't even consider bending a normal erection. I felt every bump on the 40m drive lol.

I took the bandages off to shower, you can see my shaft is very swollen, I can't see any of the dents, I'm not sure if that's because they are filled, or if it's because I'm swollen.

The Dr is going to keep me inflatednlike this for maybe 7-10days then he might deflate it a bit so I can get on a plane (I'm interstate) and then start cycling. He put either a 25cm or 26cm Titan, I will confirm with him on our appt. next week. I am also now fully circumsized.

I have been advised to keep the implant upwards, I currently sleep with it pointing straight to the ceiling. They did recommend to push it towards the abdomen, but this is quite painful. Can anyone confirm if this is a better approach?

Question for other implanted guys, did the implant initially affect your urine stream? I just stopped peeing in a bottle and my stream is crazy, its point in multiple directions, up, down, left, backwards. The doctor also performed a cystocopy to look down the urethra, could this be the reason?

Guys,

I’m peeing and the stream is going backwards spraying into the gauze that my penis is wrapped in.

I do have super glued water proof stitches, I am showering every time I pee, and changing the gauze.

The nurse says that pee is sterile and a little bit on the gauze will be okay. Can anyone confirm this? Or tell me if showering multiple times is not a good idea?

Day 4:

In the hotel room, peeing in a bottle, there is quite a bit of pain and discomfort still. I am mostly just resting in bed, reading books, listening to music.

As you can see, there is still quite a bit of swelling.

Can anyone confirm, is it okay to keep the penis in this position? Should I be pulling it up towards the abdomen ? The nurses said, ideally, pulling it to the abdomen is best, but it is just too painful and uncomfortable to do so at the moment. I am worried in this position it wil heal abnormally or take abnormal shape.

I just kept mine in whatever position was most comfortable while I was healing and in massive pain. As the pain subsides maybe then you can start to point it up like they say

Thanks man, I was just specifically told not to point it down, I hope how it is now is okay. I'm worried about it healing abnormally or taking abnormal shape, probably an irrational fear.

Hey JJ,

Hope you’re recovering well brother.

I would recommend that since you did the TEP you should stay partially inflated 60-70% for 4 weeks. This allows new tissue to grow in the space of incisions. If you deflate early, the incisions could just close up and TEP would be pointless.

This is what I was told from multiple doctors who do the TEP including Dr Love himself. When you go for your flight try to stay 60% inflated and wear tight compression shorts/underwear to keep your penis up towards your abdomen. Take some painkillers and just stay comfortable.

Thanks, appreciate it, I have an appointment with Dr Love on the 15th Feb, will see what he says.

Day 7:

Not much to update, I probably won't update again until I see the Doctor in 2 days.

As you can see, still very swollen.

I am laying down and keeping the penis in the upright position as shown in the pic, can anyone advise if this is the recommended position? It is quite painful to keep it in this position, but this is what the nurse/doc recommended. There is a lot of pain/strain at the base.

Regrets? None. Prior to this, I could not have a functional penis or a sex life. I accept that, now, I will have a functional penis and sex life. The pain is there, but with medication, it is bearable. If I had waited longer, the disease would most likely have continued to progress. Further, even without peyroneis/ED, as old age comes, so does ED, and as men get older, their penis usually becomes smaller/thinner due to fibrosis and lack of blood flow. So, I see this whole procedure as an inevitable enhancement to have at my age (34).

Size: It is really too early to measure, I am partially inflated and probably 4.75/5 inches. Pre-op I was 6.5, pre Peyronies I was probably 7-7.5 inches. The doctor did confidently say to me, 'you should get an extra cm from the TEP procedure'. I never measured girth, but I was quite girthy pre-peyronies, pre-op, I had lost a lot of girth due to narrowing/dents. I do believe the TEP procedure does provide extra girth. Time will tell.

As you can see in the second pic, the penis looks natural, even at partial inflation, although it is quite swollen. I am eager to see the end result.

I'm getting a bit restless with nothing to do, laying in one position, peeing in a bottle. The circumsision area is quite sore as well. Have read just about every journal on here, and I am so proud of all the members who took this journey and overcome this disease.

Will update again after I see my Doctor in 2 days.

Day 9 Update:

Just visited my Doctor and nurse, everything is good, no sign of infection, major swelling but expected to go down in a week. Have been prescribed more pain killers.

Now I would really like the advice of implanted members on this:

I asked my Doctor what size he gave me, and he said it was a 22cm Titan + 2.5cm RTTEs. I asked him why he didn't use the 24cm Titan and 0.5cm RTE as he said himself he prefers to use less RTEs. He said that, with the 24cm Titan, it would have caused complications for him putting in the pump? He told me that the RTEs are well placed in the rear, and that I would not feel them.

I was a bit disappointed as, from everything I have researched, the less RTEs the better. Can anyone please advise on whether, using a 24cm Titan with 0.5cm RTE may have been better, or if having 2.5cm RTEs will cause any complications (dog ears, axial rigidity etc).

Thank you,
J
