Implanted yesterday

Appreciate hearing about your experience Morton and dc. Scheduled September 13th with Kramer and if not for this site and the info and supportive nature of all here I'd feel so alone and beyond anxious. Best of luck on continued recovery!

We aim to please... your aim will help too.

Hi. This is my first post. I have been reading posts since early July and have greatly benefited from all of the information on this board. A big thank you to everyone who has been willing to share their experiences and knowledge!

I have had ED since I was 18 due to a condom injury that caused Venous Leakage. Pills worked great until this year. Tried using a vacuum pump but it was not wide enough for my girth of 6.5". I then tried trimix last month, which worked the first time but the second attempt was a failure and I began to develop Peyroines disease. Told my urologist who has a wait and see approach so I did some research on Peyronies and found out it only gets worse over time. I immediately decided to get an implant to correct my ED and to prevent any further damage from Peyronies. I called Dr. Kramer's office and was able to get an appointment for an implant sooner than I could get my PCP to give my a physical.

Day 1 - I was implanted with a Titan, 24cm + 1.5 RTE, by Dr. Kramer. The surgery seems to have gone very well. I woke up in the hospital with very little pain...just stinging pain from the Catheter, which disappeared with 5 mg of oxycodone. I was taken back to my hotel by Connie, Dr. Kramer's secretary, since I am in Baltimore by myself (I am recently divorced). I had zero pain for the rest of the day, but applied ice anyway to reduce swelling. I spent the day flat on the bed with pillows under my legs and butt...only getting up to eat from my food supply in the hotel fridge and to empty the catheter.

Day 2 - Woke up at 5:00 for my first post surgery bowel movement. Not easy with a catheter bag and a semi-inflated that sticks straight out, almost touching the toilet bowl. Went back to bed and when I woke up again I took two Motrin to prepare for my catheter removal, which only stung a little. I deflated it using a syringe that a nurse kindly brought to my hotel room after she forgot to put it in my travel bag at the hospital. I then removed the bandage and took inventory of my post-surgery penis. Scrotum the size of an orange with a large bruise on the right and bottom and small bruise on the left. No pain at all. Took a quick shower and put on some Neosporin. Got a call from Dr. Kramer who wanted to know how I was doing and to let me know he will be coming to my hotel on Friday to check on me. Not use to that level of service from a doctor. I have a Colonoscopy in October with a doctor I have never met; he has a nurse do his new patient interviews. Dr Kramer came by twice after my surgery to check on me yesterday. During my last surgery at Vanderbilt, the doctor did not talk with me at all post surgery and I had to call him to get the results.

Spent the whole day in bed reading posts on Franktalk to get information on what to expect next and on an online dating site trying to find a woman to baptize my new device . I only got up for food and bathroom, which was quite often...very hungry today. Had level 1 pain in my shaft this afternoon, which was quickly remedied by 400mg of Ibuprofen and ice, which I left on too long, 25 minutes, because I forgot all about it while surfing the net...maybe I need a brain implant too. Have not had any pain since this afternoon. Very happy I had this done and that it is going well. Hope it continues.

Glad to hear you are doing well with your titian Touch... I also have the same implant, not as big as yours, 22cm with 1.5 RTE... continues success with your recovery.

Thanks bbb2.5. Did you have any trouble deflating the Titan Touch? Did you activate on your own or go back to your doctor for activation?

Day 6 - First day wearing tennis shoes since surgery. Should have stayed with sandals. Bending down to put on shoes hurt like hell...sharp pains to the shaft. Don't know what I did. Maybe it puts pressure on shaft or maybe forced more saline into it. Used a wheelchair at the airport as suggested by a poster on this board. Didn't have to stand and sailed though security right to my gate in minutes. Got there way before my flight so I got up out of the chair and lay flat on the ground. Was able to preboard on a Southwest flight, which was awesome since I forgot to check in 24 hours before and would have been stuck waiting for B26. Used the bathroom while on flight and discovered that my painful shoe episode created some large new bruises on the right and left side of shaft, which was hurting while seated. Fortunately, flight was less than two hours. As soon as I got home I went to bed and slept for two hours. When I woke up the pain was gone. Only comes back when I am standing for more than 15 minutes. In spite of the shoe incident, swelling continues to decrease. A lot more room in my scrotum...my pump is no longer digging into my left testicle. Good to be home and flat in bed again.
