Congrats on the implant! I could only laugh at your recount of your ride home. I couldn't get my legs far enough apart to accomodate the bull balls and felt every bunp. Note to future guys, ride in the back seat!

I'm now about one month after surgery. All swelling, brusing and pain are gone. When I first started pumping I got it up to 5.5 in length and 5.5 in girth. I've been pumping twice a day for an hour each time. My length is close to 6.5 and girth is 6. I know titan is not suppose to increase in length but wondering if any other titan implantees have seen increase length as tissues stretch to accomodate the size of the implant and if so how long will this continue?

I first measured my size, pumped to the "max" at 6 weeks post surgery. I measured 6 1/4 then. Now, 9+ weeks out, I get 6 3/8 or sometimes 6 1/2. I'm pretty sure thats about my limit. I still get discomfort in the glans and the proximal end as well when I max it out, though that is getting much better. I think when the discomfort stops I'm at the limit. My flaccid measures about 5 3/4. This is with a 22 cm Titan. Most of those I've read about with a 22cm seem to get to about 6 1/2, though I'm sure it varies a bit individual to individual. What size Titan do you have, and were there any RTE's?

I should also note that I did 5 months of daily VED therapy to stretch things out before surgery. I don't know how much this might have helped me post-surgery. I'd be pretty sure that if the Dr had still "found" my full size without the VED therapy, there would have been a lot more post-surgery stretching and probably a lot more initial discomfort as things stretched. OTOH, there are some who think the main advantage of VED therapy is just to stretch things out prior to surgery, to get better sizing. My surgeon doesn't believe VED therapy helps in that regard, and feels he can get the full size without it.

I had a 22 cm Titan with two RTE.
