It varies greatly between surgeons. Anywhere from a week to over a month. Congrats. The worst part is over with. Just relax and follow your surgeons orders.

Thanks, I noticed I lost length, is that because of sudden drama to the shaft
And swollen contraction

I was scheduled to have a post op appointment to learn how to cycle about a month after surgery. I started playing around with things in the shower on Day 18 and pumped up my implant. I then had to figure out how to deflate it (the keychain model helped). I emailed my surgeon, Dr. Kramer, and he told me that if I felt OK I could keep on cycling, which I did.

Welcome to the Bionic Brotherhood! You can tell those who just joined, they walk funny. :D

Your little fellow got the shock of its life, so it will be swollen for six or more weeks.

Cycling as stated above depends on your doctor. I was 31 days. A follow up study of Dr. Dineen's VED Protocol Therapy found the average person was able to start cycling without major discomfort at 43 days. BTW the morning of July 11 take a pain med.
