another new guy - titan implant 04/24/13

Well, an internet community I never dreamed of being a part of....

I never saw this site "pre-op" but have appreciated finding and reading you other guys experiences as I embark on this "new stage of life". I am 62 years old and had a radical prostatectomy on October 2010. My cancer was farther advanced than my urologists had expected, "out" of the gland, and required some extra work/removal of the "dorsal venous complex", followed by a round of radiation. As I read my surgeons report and in follow up discussions it became clear I would not have erections. I accepted that, had what fun I could, and after 30 or so months decided on an implant - 22 cm a C/P Titan implanted April 24th of this year.

At 16 days post-op, I still have somewhat swollen balls that largely prevent me from sitting at my desk for any extended period of time, a "half-erection" that makes urination slow, a bit difficult, and sometimes messy, and a GREAT BIG SMILE when I look at my "new little stiffie". My post-prostatecotomy (Oct. 2010) / pre-implant penis size was, in boob-job equivalent, "less than an A-cup", never erect and got "more difficult to please" as time went on. While I seem to be a little more than half as big as I remember myself, I am so thrilled to have something that will be "insertable".

So, another day taking it easy - go to work at 4:30 for about 90 minutes of paperwork and catch-up - and back home to lay down and ease my swollen balls....

I will add........the day after surgery, as I slept, my wife's cat jumped up into (and rapidly back out of) my lap. Having had a hip replacement, radical prostatectomy, and now an implant, I believe that was the most pain I've ever experienced - an "extra-oxy event". I now put a big straw hat over my middle when I sleep!

That should give you a suitable size ... once healed and thru the pumping phase ...

Try an inflatable donut cushion ... I still use mine ... it's great for traveling too.

Once healed you won't even notice those minor events ... unless the cat finds a new scratching pole (lol)

Hey catman, welcome to the brotherhood.
I like you didn't find this site till after I was implanted 9mos. Ago at
The old age of 41......lol. damn I suffered since 37 thinking I must be the only one.
But even after the fact its a great place to be.
I wish you an uneventful recovery and the satisfaction many have found w/a renewed sex life and manhood..
Best wishes.
