Thanks. Just the fact that it is done seems so strange. So much tension and apprehension all these years and now it's done. I have no idea if it was a smooth/successful procedure or if there were complications since haven't seen doc yet. Just relieved the first stage is done. Seems surreal, ruined my life this and now feels like there is real hope now.

I am in week 2 post-implant.
The first few days are usually hazy.
You have taken a bold step..its now just a matter of weeks.
Wish you speedy recovery

Thanks Captain, yes I have been reading your posts and found then to be helpful. I'm gonna try getting some compression shorts like you mentioned when I get back home. Hope you're recovery continues to go smoothly.

Just got back to the room. I just can't believe it's done. Just can't believe it. Hope everything went well, haven't spoken to Ralph yet.

The hard part, the wait, is over my friend. The recovery journey begins.

Rule #1:

You’re not allowed to worry about length, girth, shape, sensations, bruises, swelling, pump placement, etc…nothing, for the first 6 weeks-2 months. What you see now is not what you’ll see/feel after that time has elapsed.

These first few days you’ll be tempted to think about and meditate on your dick like never before.

Ice. Patience. Follow doctors orders.

Congratulations! It’ll be worth it.

You know something TB - thanks for the congrats by the way - I haven't paid any of that any mind whatsoever. Due to what I've read on the forum. I'll start cycling when he says so and what ever it ends up being it ends up being. I'm not fussed. As long as whatever it ends up being works. I think he said he put in a 23cm titan. I have to confirm. Don't know what that means in terms of usage, all I know is that anything is better than the crap I've been through.

Folks who have been through this, I'm 5 days out so early days. Just wanted to ask, how long before you can stand without pain, at the moment I'm basically lying down all day cause too difficult to stand.

You’re going to get a lot of variation here. Especially between penoscrotal and infrapubic guys. Some doctors use a nerve block to mitigate pain those first few days (mine did).

I never really had pain. Pressure, yes. Soreness, yes. (always manageable). walked gingerly for about a week and spent most of that time on my back, icing. After a week sitting was more uncomfortable than walking. At 4 weeks i began walking a mile daily, while still insisted. Between weeks 5-6, 3 miles walking daily.

Yeah mine was penoscrotal. Just today sitting and standing has been too much. Can't take it and just go lay back down again. Was just getting worried.

Campfire, I had penoscrotal and at 4 weeks my wife and I went to Austin, Tx for a few days at a resort. I could walk with her around lake Austin on the trails but it was sort of gingerly with Reebok sweat pants that had room for the three boys and my half inflated sore penis. I had to wear a long extra large T-Shirt so I wouldn't get any weird looks from the younger ladies on the trails. So at 4 weeks I would still have times when it was uncomfortable to sit in certain chairs and I would have to take Tylenol and Motrin combo to take care of the pain. It was pretty easy to overdue it at times. You'll get through this, it takes time.
