Postby Ivan4590 » Tue Dec 24, 2019 8:59 am

In terms of post surgery, yes… What really is normal though? LOL... everything needs to stretch in and get to its final resting spot… You are more than likely good… I had surgery on October 22 and still have bumps and things… Be well and enjoy whatever holidays you celebrate!…

"Normal" is highly variable, man!

I was implanted Nov 18. Very quick healing for me. I think a truly great surgeon for me and I'm just lucky that I tend to heal fast. Zero true pain. Discomfort, for sure, but really only until end of the first week or maybe a little longer. My doc didn't want me to inflate until week 4. I've had a hell of a trouble working the Titan Touch valve to deflate. Inflate no problem. But I got 15-20 pumps done on my first inflate and my dick was straight and hard as steel.

But then I couldn't deflate, and a real circus started. Sounds like you at least know how to deflate, so you're definitely ahead of me! Doc tells me that at week 4.5 here my sac is much more swollen than I thought. So I think we're just not the best judge of things when there's so much chaos going on down below.

Don't feel isolated, Ivan. Just don't. There are 9,000 guys on here going through all manner of all kinds of stuff and we all wonder. The guys who have been doing this longer will weigh in here and help you!

Did you have any conferences with medical staff post surgery? My pump is so hard I can only get partial pumps and by 4 or 5 I can pump no more even though I do not feel or look stretched? I get soreness not real pain near and beneath the head and swelling there especially. Kind of an ugly penis!
Thanks everyone for your advise! I

I only got about 3-4 pumps in a very small AMS 700CX 15cm. I asked the doctor while pumping about only having that few pumps when others here talk about 10-20 pumps and he said I was using fuller bulb squeezes probably. I don't agree with that but what I do believe is that at my 2 week activation I was still swollen and 4 pumps was as much as it could hold. I get about 10 good pumps now and after 10 minutes I'll get another 2-3 fractional pumps that I'm not sure are doing anything but they did seem to add more rigidity in my opinion.

Thanks, your helpful. I know am yet swollen, don't know if that's normal and my scrotum hurts lingeringly after deflation. In in fact deflation is almost as bad as inflation? Will this improve?

For several days after surgery, my penis looked like a road-killed toad. Be patient.
