More remarkable is the fact that he had my distal length measured at 13 cm, meaning he barely stretched me, if at all. I think the return to length I'm seeing is 100% due to the expansion of the infla 10ax. I just ran across the document they gave me.

I've been cycling for a little around 11 days now. Surprisingly, my max pump is now at my pre-surgery size, right at 7.5". That's pretty amazing considering I was I think 6.5" when I got started. I do have the Infla 10AX which expands in length, but I was still expecting more of a journey back. I'm sure I push it pretty hard. I do the Perito throughout and was keeping it at max for over an hour since the first time I started.

The bulb had definitely begun to soften some. I can get it to like 85% in about 10 mins. Deflating is still got our miss, but it doesn't take more than 3 or 4 mins to locate a spot that doesn't hurt too bad to squeeze. I still have swelling around the incision site.

I reached out to a doc to see if VED may help expand the glans and help avoid erosion due to the tips being so close to the end of the penis. If he says no, I won't risk it. It is a little concerning how the engorgement of the glans goes away when I'm lying flat. Maybe a cock ring will be in order whenever sex starts.

Another thing I do that I believe exercises the tissue is get a grip on the shaft and go back and forth jerking it. It isn't a masturbatory thing, but that's the motion. It also helps me stay engorged whole I'm pumped up.

My hope is to make it to 8". I'm sure the implant will expand more than it already has. I only want to make it that size because I know I won't be pumping to 100% to have sex. It would be too stiff and probably uncomfortable for both of us. Still, I had resolved that even if I was stuck at 7", it ain't the end of the world. I know that's enough, I just wanted to get back to what I was used to having.

I lost a good inch about 20 years back when I had my plication to straighten out curve. I don't think the Doc was the best to do it, but I was young and didn't research well enough. I lost sensation at that time too because of the trauma of degloving. Then at a later date, I damaged some vessels while pumping and lost even more sensation and made my ED worse. I think that may be when I stopped having nightly erections. Thankfully, I didn't lose size since I was still have sex somewhat regularly. However, there was about a 4 year period where I may have only had a handful of erections. Thankfully, I didn't lose any size during this period. Anyway, I'm just thankful for what I have and I hope at least some of the sensation list during this procedure will return. Thankfully, I still have all of it in the glans.

Hi Jakerip, how do you know your distal length is 11cm? I had the same Dr as you and I don't find this anywhere in my documents

He wrote it on that pink sheet with the stickers on it. Mine was in an envelope along with the travel card. There's a field that has distal length and the other one.

Also, it's way too soon for me to be able to endorse, but I'm using a few things to help with sensation.

1. Penile Restoration Cream

2. Manhood Glans Cover
https://manhoodcanada.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopPgeLf-ZxUzvRLiqhO9LcM0kgHcdLTz-UdCeTZTvji1DW9F9DZ

I've used the Manhood cover years ago. I think it did help. I have virtually no shaft sensation and that's gotten worse after this procedure. It may return, but it also may not, based on things I've read. Best bet imo is to maximize sensation in the glans to compensate. Thankfully, I didn't lose any sensation there.

Thanks for the regular updates. The fact that you didn’t loose length lifts my spirits tremendously

Yes, it's been a pleasant surprise for sure. I'd definitely recommend having an expandable implant, if possible. But if I hadn't gone overseas to get mine done, I would have probably gone with a Titan to regain the girth. I'm quite happy I went with the Infla 10AX.

I got these Separatec bamboo underwear now. I love them! The pouch is just barely the right size. I wish it had a bit more space. I don't like being bunched in or curled over like tighty whities. However, I find that they feel so good and hug so we'll, the glans cover really isn't needed. The Separatec has it covered.

With the go ahead from a doctor, I've begun to incorporate the VED into my cycling routine. I inflate for 45 mins in the morning. At night, I pump to about 80% then VED for 15 mins. After that, I pump to the max I can take and hold that for 45 mins. The VED definitely allows the implant to be pumped up bigger.
