some questions about my new IPP

Postby knotreel » Sat Jan 29, 2011 5:43 pm

I had my two week post op check-up last wednesday 1/26. They did a partial infaltion then a hard squeeze to deflate. Since then I have done a few partial infaltions with 3-5 pumps. It's the deflate part that I have questions about. I have tried several times to just see if I could achieve a flacid state sorta like it used to be, ie easy to wear it hanging down. I have not been able to get it where it looks a half normal. Question is, will it ever get normal looking at flacid state?
The second question is just an observation that I would like some comment on. The LGX tips are fairly blunt and as I inflate just a little I can feel the pressure on my uretha as they try to crowd into the glans. Also I can't pee then as the uretha gets pinched off in the glans. Is this normal?

Thanks Mike, yes I can't stand too much squeezing now but good to know that later on I'll be able to be at least a little limp.
I guess about peeing, there is no need for me to do that inflated but I can feel presure on the uretha and slight pain. I guess I am getting too far ahead of myself as there is still about 3 weeks healing to activation and then break-in period.

HI, Mike is right, you do become more of a "shower". I had to buy some different underwear that was more comfortable, and gave better support. I had my surgery on 12/8 at Vanderbilt and there is still some tenderness when pumping it up. I notice that after trying to deflate that peeing is a little slower than before having the surgery. It could be the swelling from the surgery. I am scheduled for a checkup with Dr. Millam in 3 months.

THanks, I don't mind being a "shower" and I was prepared for that change as I knew ,or thought, that the shortest it could be was the uninflated lenght of the LGX. I was just concerned about having to deal with it being a little too stiff and how that would affect my everyday life in having to deal with that.
George, are you having some morning pain? I assume that mine is caused by the old system trying to have a morning woody?
THe pain ,or really more like pressure, is in the base of my penis.

All in all, Ron, it sounds like you're doing okay since the surgery. So happy for you. Stay in touch.

Hi Ron, Yes, I have some morning pain, and it gets sore when it isn't parked just right when sitting for any length of time. My wife hasn't seem me squirm in the car seat since we were dating over 35 years ago.
