Had my Procedure Today

That is a very important advise, Larry! Using it more than 15-20 minutes at a time is counterproductive. You can get frostbites, plus the blood flow necessary to create proper healing will be compromised.

Also, in my opinion, as the scrotal sac shrinks, the healing tissue around the pump and tubbing (pseudo-capsule) will be building on a contracted way.

Aside, biologically speaking, ice beyond the third day does not help on reducing swelling. It does offer comfort due to numbing effect, but there is little to no swelling reduction.

wow ... congrats ! ... welcome to the bionic brotherhood !! You have made it to the other side. The first 24 hours are the hardest. From there, everything will get better every day.

Just curious, what was it like for you when you walked in to register for surgery --> were you scared and was there anything you did or said to your self to keep your courage up ?

Also, enjoy the large amount of sleep over these next few days; now that it "is over" your mind can rest and you will sleep like a baby !

So super glad for you , and yes, I wish you many hard times with head. (oh oops, I meant "many hard times ahead")

Went to see Dr Eid today, and back in the hotel room on back and on ice. Uneventful procedure, believe I received a Titan Touch, 20cm, no rte .

I'll update more later, have only a phone for now. Little discomfort, just dull ache in the groin.

Best to you on your recovery, Warren.

Warrenw: Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Sounds like all went well. I recall that I used ice for the first few days and after I returned home, maybe for a day or two. Our travel and surgery experience with Dr Eid were quite similar, so I am available by PM if would like to chat.

Thanks guys for all the encouragement, it's really helping me stay positive.

Surgery was Friday, flew home on Monday with the catheter still in. Dr Eid examined me on Monday and said everything looked good.
When I got home last night I cut the Y part of the cath and pulled it out, but there was blood and urine everywhere. Still getting an occasional drop of blood from penis and a bit of urine leakage. I guess this is all normal but was kind of shocking to see.

Going to try a hot bath now and see how that goes. Dr left me a probably 50% and I'd like to get that down so I can pee normally.

Did you deflate the balloon??

Did you deflate the balloon??

Yes, but I did it by cutting the Y- hose since I didn't have the proper syringe to deflate the ballon. It pulled out smoothly, but maybe there's trauma from four days of being catheterized.

Absolutely no doubt of having trauma in and out... coming from the medical field, I can tell you, it's not a very gentle procedure and most guys that are conscious when it's done are on the brink of tears as it goes in... even with the lidociane gel

Just wanted to post an update with where I'm at on day +6.

I saw the surgery report and Dr Eid used a 22cm Titan with one cylinder trimmed to 20cm and the other to 21cm. He had estimated 20cm during the pre-op exam.

I was able to activate at day +4 to deflate and then inflate a couple of pumps. There is no swelling in the scrotum so I can feel the pump really easily. There is bruising and denting on the penile shaft and I can easily feel the cylinders, much stiffer than I was expecting so hope that improves. The Peyronies is completely gone but there's a dent where the curve used to be, so I'm pleased with that. The deflated cylinders feel loose within the penis and I can "model" the shape a bit to make it perfectly straight. Don't know if things tighten up over time or not.

I stopped the percocet pain med today. There is some pain in the bottom of the scrotum where the pump and incision are. But I can walk and drive without discomfort. Getting up or down from a sitting position is still pretty painful. And at this point in time, sex would be the last thing I have any interest in, pleasure could not overcome the pain. I'm thinking weeks out on that, maybe even wait until spring.

So that's it. Not quite what I expected with the stiffness of the flaccid Titan, but I guess this is the new normal

Hi. I'm at day 9 and haven't even tried to inflate/deflate. Quite a bit of aching pain from where the pump sits low in the scrotum area. I'm being told I will activate on 5/1/18 for the first time so I'll follow that guidance rather than try and do it myself beforehand. Like you sex seems a distant option just yet. But the pain lessens daily and excited to see each day pass.
