Thanks for your quick comment.

Yes, I have become very slim, as prior to the operation, I had chronic gastritis and lost 10 kilos very quickly.

Would you say your reservoir is very low in the abdomen, like close to the pubic area -- if that makes sense?

Thanks


About 1 and a half inches above my shaft to just below my belly button. Sits on my right side.

Mine protrudes and not a big deal at all. It is what it is. Maybe takes some time to get used to. 15 months in and i am very active as well.

Mine is about the same, an inch and half above the shaft on the right. The belly button is about 7 inches up.

Thanks

The issue was if it had moved. I had never seen it or felt it previously, so there was a difference.

If it has stayed in the right place, then I am more than happy and couldn't care less. I can just ignore it

I am thinking maybe so much swelling has gone, and it has now become more prominent, and if I had any fat on my abdomen I
I wouldn't have even noticed it anyway.

Herniation of the reservoir is quite rare. After reading up on it, and after seeing a photo of a herniated reservoir, it kind of makes sense that mine is where it should be.

I have no earthly idea where mine is. I’m low body fat also.
Active, athletic 63 years old. Sexually, still 33 in my mind and spirit. Pills and injections all worked, until they didn’t. Diagnosed with veinous leakage in 2022. Coloplast Titan. 22 CM. No RTE. Peno-scrotal. Implanted 1/4/23. Dr. Clavell.

I have my follow-up on the 7th March to start cycling so what I find out there I will report back.

The deal I made with myself is I won't be concerned or worried unless it gets closer to the start of the shaft.

It weirded me out initially and got used to it real quick. I did lose that much more weight after the procedure is probably why it stands out the way that it does.
