Re: Take Two: Fingers Crossed
Pointing out that people falsely claim to be a doctor and have multiple troll accounts… was that wrong? Is that looked down on here? Because if I had known it was looked down on, well…
50. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

Re: Take Two: Fingers Crossed
Hey good afternoon Take Two: Fingers Crossed. I to was suffering from having a venous leak for 2years as it got worser, I made the decision to join the bionic brotherhood. Just wanted to know before my 1st month of healing after surgery is coming up, is it OK to still use horns goat weed, ginseng, or maca root to help keep the blood flowing to your Johnson before you pump for you get it on? Please let me know. Thanks

Anyhow, wish me luck!
I was just reading your signature. It seems you managed to get a bigger implant despite having an infection? that seems to be a very encouraging outcome actually.
how are you doing nowadays?

I'm okay. I'm only a week in to a seven week period where I've been told to let things heal by not doing anything. I'm hoping against hope to avoid further complication. Every time I feel warm or sore or what little swelling there is, I'm on pins and needles.
The length is a good thing, definitely, though it isn't apparent at the 40% inflation I've been left at for now. The surgeon told me to use a vacuum beforehand which I did for almost two months. I'm pretty sure it stretched me a centimeter or two. And the very purpose of the salvage malleable is to preserve length.

It sounds very likely that the VED device is what stretched you. Honestly I'm very impressed that after an infection (which is known to shorten length) plus being undersized with the malleable, they were still able to fit a bigger inflatable than the first time.
What was your VED routine? How often did you use it and for how long?

Once or twice a day for about ten minutes. I never got past the middle settings on the cheap pump I bought off Amazon which read as 190-230 mbar--I didn't trust the accuracy, though. Basically until it felt a bit "sore" and got visually stretched. The seal with a silicone gasket of sorts that came with the pump with KY or other water based lubricant. It usually didn't seal real well given the irregular surface around the shaft, but it would "cycle" in a range between the set pressure and a lower increment. I was about 2 cm larger *in the tube* after going through this. As soon as pressure was removed and I got back out of the gasket, things quickly shrank back.

Re: Take Two: Fingers Crossed
Were you also doing VED before your first implant? or only with the malleable?
