My Surgery Journal And Impressions

[pockie]

Hey Chiali,

It seems like everyone gets anxious trying this thing out for the first time. I'm glad that you're going to get your full size back. If you're 1/8 away from your full size, I have no doubt that you'll hit 7" in the following weeks since your penis is still expanding for the first 6 months after you're implanted.
6.75 or 7" makes no difference, the important thing is that you're at a solid size, and the implant works properly. My main concern before the surgery was that I end up with 4-5" like some of the stories
I've read here, and being a young guy at 29 this would kill my confidence. I had no problem losing half an inch, but it looks like I've lost nothing. In fact, I think that it might be possible that in the following months I end up with more length than pre-surgery. This is due to aggressive implant sizing by Dr. Eid, and that my upward bend is being corrected by the implant.

I'm actually surprised as to how differently things are done with different implants and doctors. Seems like things are moving substantially quicker
for me than the rest of the community:

-I started cycling daily 1 week post-op for at least 10 minutes
-I started cycling daily for an hour each day 2 weeks post op
-I'm already pumping at almost 100% 3 weeks post-op, with bearable pain when at 100%, and close to no pain at 80%
-Was given green light for sex 3 weeks post op.

I received a response from Dr. Eid on both of the issues I've been having which I stated earlier in this thread. I sent an e-mail to him regarding this issues and I received a timely response.

These are the issues:

-when fully deflated, at times the penis is bent near the the middle of the shaft. This is because one of the implants is folding, I can feel the fold/ridge with my hand. as soon as I give it a few pumps it fixes itself out. Also, It's perfectly straight when I pump it fully. Has anyone encountered such an issue, and is it a reason for concern?

-The bottom part of the penis feels numb, as if there's lost sensitivity.I'm pretty happy with the sensitivity and sensations when fully pumped, feels great during masturbation, looking forward to see how it feels during sex. Has anyone had such an issue, will the numbness disappear?

About the first one, Dr. Eid said that this is normal and that it is not a cause for concern. As long as the implant is working properly when inflated and doesn't fold inflated, there's nothing to be concerned about. My implant works great when inflated, there is no folding. This happens only when deflated

Regarding the second part, I'm going to quote the response I received from Dr. Eid:

Yes this area of numbness is normal and recruitment of nerve fibers will occur over the next three to six months and that area will become sensitive again. This is due to the location of the incision. You have to remember that most patients after a penile implant wait two to three months before starting to inflate deflate their device. You are so far ahead because we keep incisions very small and swelling at a minimum, cutting some skin nerves to insert the device is inevitable however.

July 19th - the big day- tapping that ass

So I finally found the time to invite my girlfriend over and try the implant out for the first time. I was pretty nervous. I wasn't sure how much to pump it, so I pumped it close to max so that I'll be able to penetrate with no problem. I was reluctant to pump it less because I didn't know the sweet spot of the penis being just hard enough while still capable of penetrating.

The good news is - I was able to go for about 2 hours straight with no breaks in between, possibly even more. My girlfriend was like "what is going on with you" , I made her very very happy, she came multiple times and was totally worn out. She kept praising me during, and after the sexual encounter. It was pretty surreal for me to be able to try out all these different positions without going limp. Pre-implant with the use of pills I would get hard but it would be unstable and it would only work in specific positions if I'm lucky. I was able to try different positions without going limp which was amazing.

My mindset was as if I still have ED, and I'm assuming it would take some time for this issue to get sorted. What I mean by this is I was constantly getting concerned about my penis going limp and me losing my erection like it did pre-implant. I was like this for quite some time, so I don't expect it to magically go away. This caused some anxiety and took away from the whole experience.

As far as how sex felt for me - it felt good at times but my penis wasn't too sensitive, and I had some pain at times. I was not able to orgasm and ejaculate. I'm assuming this is to an extent psychological, and another part was due to the occasional pain I had. I am able to orgasm and ejaculate properly within 60 seconds while masturbating with porn if I don't try to prolong it. I know sex is different and it might be harder to get to orgasm with sex, however I tried masturbating in front of her, and I just couldn't orgasm. There must be a psychological factor since I'm able to come very quickly when I'm masturbating by myself, but couldn't in front of a naked gorgeous girl.

She couldn't tell I had an implant. I've been seeing this girl for about 4 months, so she knows the way my parts were pre-surgery very well. I told her that I had some problems with my testicles and had a procedure done, and that's it, nothing about an implant. Only thing she said was "this is so hard", and this is because I pumped it to the max. She was also amazed as to how I was able to stay rock-hard for 2 hours.

Great news!!!
Thank you for letting us know. Next time you will enjoy it even more.

Grinning ear to ear. Absolutely fantastic. Nice job my friend! ((slow clap))

You're living the dream, dude!

By the way, taking Viagra, etc., I've had sex for a couple hours before and inevitably found it hard to finally ejaculate after having held out for so long. Your nerves just get numb at a certain point. So I wouldn't sweat that one bit. Maybe don't be such a Superman next time and just go an hour! You can always have a second (or third) round later (though it will likely be even harder to ejaculate then!).

But I completely understand. You get a new lawnmower and you're gonna mow the living hell out of the lawn whether it needs it or not! Enjoy your new toy!

Congratulations! Since you can come when masturbating I'm sure it will get better for you with your girlfriend. Just keep at it - practice makes perfect
I get activated next week and I'm looking forward to it too. Nice to know she didnt even realize or notice anything different except your newfound 'ability'.
All the best.

Pockie just tell her dude. If she's worth keeping around she'll understand. Plus she's going to find out sooner or later, might as well get it out now.

My delayed ejaculation problems have gotten better. Still feel a little soreness and not as much sensitivity when I pump up but it keeps getting better and better as the weeks roll by. Just give it time...
