How hard were you inflated post surgery?

Postby oldbeek » Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:04 pm

Many of you guys were sent home inflated, bandaged, and pointed up. Me also. But I am inflated to ??. I feel it is 80%. I think it is hard enough for penetration. Doc came in and checked it out before releasing me to go home. I called him at day 3 and questioned the hardness and pain. He said that is the way he liked it and raise the pain meds. One of my major pain spots was the penis itself. Felt like it was being stretched especially where the tips hit the glans. day 6 and pain is getting less every day. I am going with his instructions but wonder how much inflation others went home with. I had infrapubic so stiches are not a concern .

Mine eased up as the swelling went down. My doc said to use over the counter Motrin. But follow your doc's instructions.

I was mostly the same as you.

My surgeon kept me at about 80% erect in the hospital overnight after my implant was put in. But of course, I was on some really good pain management there. Next morning he deflated me to about 30% to be discharged and it stayed there for next 4 weeks. Definitely felt like way more than just a semi, but I wasn't all that uncomfortable or in pain.

Mine was about 40% and stayed that way until I started cycling at week 4. :)

Also about 80%. After the operation no pain of course, just the opposite. Was still heavily sedated and thought that's a natural erection. Tried to call a pretty nurse nearer to me but no luck. Lots of pain the following day, but fine after receiving strong pain killers.

Thanks for the replies. I have had an ongoing skin problem on my glans. This is probably why I am feeling the pain more. After RP I didn't even need pain meds other than Motrin. I just need to toughen up!!

I was never told what percent it was inflated but I had to call after I got home to say there was no way I could piss in the toilet with it as it was. My surgeon had me come in and he deflated it a bit but even after that it still stood straight out and was so stiff I had to sit to get pee to go in the toilet and at that had to have my head down between my knees to get my dick to angle down.
I am 64 and had ED from a VL. Implanted by Dr. Ronald Anglade in Atlanta on 9/18/17. I have an AMS700LGX 21 cm via a Penoscrotal incision. Very happy with results. 6" soft and 6 3/4” x 5 5/8” hard.
