Journal- Surgery with Dr. Billy Cordon in Miami

[Jethro]

Ok thank u for your information. If u had the choice again would u use your surgeon or Dr. Eid. Miami is easier to get to for me to get to but NY would not be a problem.

Personally I would get my surgery from Dr. Eid. He was and is my first choice surgeon.

Hello FT members,

I completed my 18 months since surgery few days back. Time flies and it flies super fast!
The implant works great and now it is just a muscle memory to get it inflated and deflated. I only inflate it for having sex which happens 1-2 times in 15 days or so. My usage has been low since few months but I anticipate it to increase a lot as I am now dating someone steady and plan to marry her soon.
The implant itself feels fine overall but the usual discomfort while sleeping remains. The dog ear is a reality and I am now fine with it. It is more prominent for me as I make sure I deflate myself to the max. This was advised to me by Dr. Eid and Dr. Cordon both. I mention this because I have read many posts where men say that they like to stay inflated.
Eating cialis 10 mg on day of intercourse works very well for engorgement. Surprisingly I get some morning wood as well.

I am glad that now I have started focusing on other important things in life and have this beast behind me. Earlier all I would do is think and worry about my ED. I get few DM’s here and on reddit and I try to help other men by sharing my experience.

Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk!

Can you elaborate on your sleeping discomfort?

Can you elaborate on your sleeping discomfort?

I have written about it earlier as well. I am a side sleeper and during my sleep I feel the pump digs into the perineum area and causes mild pain and discomfort. I am more worries about this becoming a point of failure in the future.

Congrats!
Can you elaborate a bit on why Dr. Eid and Dr. Cordon both suggested deflating to the max? Thanks.

I have been reading your journal, what a story! and all the support posts are amazing (especially Thailand).
I would love to be where you are. I am in my 17th day post surgery and still dealing with quite a bit of pain, no swelling. My pain is directly associated with activity. I can't be vertical for very long before the pain comes.
I have pushed it (and maybe I shouldn't) like yesterday I walked a mile and I mean walk like at a high tempo and then paid for it the rest of the day having to constantly ice to calm things down some. For a week now I have been taking 2 pain meds per day, one around lunch time the other at about six thirty pm.
I sleep fine and find that being horizontal actually has a calming effect. It really helps to read on this board. I am amazed at how different this surgery is for everyone from no pain to extreme.
I have not had a WTF have I done moment but must admit I've been close.
Thanks for your taking the time to write this journal and I hope you know that it is very helpful. I am certain there are many who just read and do not comment. The insight is extremely helpful and very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the kind words JK. Everyone here has a story and reading other’s struggles makes you feel that you are not alone. Franktalk gave me so much strength and motivation that I can’t thank it enough.
I see you have pain when you do some physical activity. That is normal. Have you started cycling? I used to get a lot of pain during deflation. I also read that you continue to ice even after 17 days. I am not sure if that helps cos my surgeon advised me to ice only for 3 days and then move to a heat pad. You might want to speak to your surgeon about it. I wish you the best.
