This is a video on it, hope it helps.
Been told it gains up up 3cm in length.
Not sure what I gained from it, hopefully I see some good results once all the swelling gone down.
Probably won't know for a couple of months what the final outcome is.

I thought I change the Subject heading, as I've had the surgery.

I'm home now, the journey home by train not so much fun.
Have to go back Thursday and have the catheter removed, bandages changed.

Bit annoyed in retrospect, as they left the bandage on to keep everything tight and the catheter in so I don't pee on the bandages.
After walking though London and a train ride home, the bandage fell off about 10 min's after getting through the door.

I've redressed it with some fresh bandages and will watch it till Thursday.
Should of insisted they took out the catheter now, due to the cost and discomfort of traveling back to London.

Still not spoke to the surgeon, so no idea how much length the sliding technique added if any.
I would say I'm about 6 inch's partially inflated and 6.5 girth which drops to 5 near the top.
Take the girth with a pinch of salt due to the swelling going on.

Does anyone with a titan get much increases in length once you start to pump it up on a daily bases.
Or does that only apply to the lgx implant.

Also do you get penis retraction with implant surgery, which I had with both my Nesbit and Stage operations.
Or does the implant stop retraction from happening.

Can't feel the tips in the head, but not looking to hard at the moment, as trying to let it heal.
Something to ask the doc, if I get to see him.

Not much more to add at the moment.

I am reminded of what a co-workier of mine told me about an encounter he had in Tijuana. The lady he was with said "pequeno pero sabroso" (small but tasty)

Consider the confidence you will have knowing that your penis (no matter what size, small or large) has more staying power than any "natural" penis, small, large or gigantic. No question of leaving your lady "high and dry". Women value that more than size. The trick is to get her there (if you size is an impediment). Letting her know in a genteel manner (which is up to your interpersonal negotiation skills) of your rare attribute is up to you. Knowing she has the opportunity to be bedded by a "man with a dildo installed" or bedded with a man willing an able to "go the distance" will be the difference between an "Eww!" reactions or a "Cool, let's go." response.

Also remember that the connection you get penis-vagina is nothing compared to the connection you get by being conjoined in body and activity. Eventually an emotional connection grows out of the union as well. VERY satisfying, eventually.

Thanks for your feedback Lost Sheep.

Not looking for a relationship at the moment, been out of action for so long, want to catch up on what I've missed.
Also I need to practice all elements of being with a woman from kissing to even having dinner, as I'm 40 and have been out of the game since my mid 20's.

Even when I get fully recovered from this latest operation, I don't know if I be able to get over my issues to even try.

The shape of my penis have stopped me from even trying, due to fear and ridicule I may receive from woman or if other people ever found out.
If when my penis has fully healed from this op and it still looks abnormal, that would be a big issue for me.

I thought once I fixed my bend this would allow me to move on.
Ed issues from the operations meant that never happened.

Its going to be a long road to get my head straight again before I think about trying for a relationship.
It's going to be about 6 weeks before I can even try to have sex and the about 7 more months before everything is fully healed.

This timeline is based on my other operations.

Your comment was very well written in response to Redbullmaster. You said it and need only to say I hope all goes well with both of you.

Titan implanted by Dr Eid Due to Peyronies, Implant was the only option for me.

I was due to go in today to remove the catheter and redo the bandages.
Woke up sore and the thought of traveling to London didn't seem like a very good idea.

So I removed the catheter myself after watching a YouTube video.
Replaced the bandages, felt much better for it.

I spoke to the nurse I was due to see, was told they would have deflated the implant as well today.
Have a new appointment next week for them to deflate the implant and for them to show me how to start cycling the implant.

May in the next couple of days try to deflate myself, was warned not to do this in case I cause more swelling.
Any tips on this most welcome.
But having it inflated makes everything in life just a little bit harder, (pun not intended) like getting a pint of milk or not being able to go out for a coffee with a friend.

Redbullmaster, I have the exact same question and I didn't see a clear answer on this thread.

You asked:
"But is this safe to do this or am I risking the implant going though my glands once my penis starts to loss its elasticity."

It makes sense. When I do not use the VED, I can consistently stretch to 5 1/2 inches. I have pumped for over a decade. After a pump session and for some time after, I can streatch to 6+. So its an excellent question. If the doc does the implant based on a pumped stretched length, then what happens when it is not pumped ie erosion of the tip of the penis with the cylinder.

My thoughts are that if you don't pump the day of surgery or the day before, you will be in a normal state and they can place the cylinders based on that. But it will not be the same as if you are pumped.
So the next question to ask is what about external pumping AFTER the implant is in? would that help? I wonder if a full pump right before surgery and cylinder sizes accordingly, then to avoid erosion problems one might still be able to external pump VED on a regular basis and avoid the erosion problem. But I don't know if this is for the rest of your life or what. I have been doing it for over a decade and never noticed any permanent length although there is some girth enhancement.
I am going to ask Dr Eid about this before I do it.
IF one could get an extra say 1 inch by pumping before surgery and then one would have to pump regularly the rest of your life, would it be worth it?
For me it would. Pump with VED, then pump with implant and end up with a huge much larger hard on.
Any thoughts on this or is it mentioned somewhere else? Will let you all know what Dr. Eid says.

Hi Cumstein,

I pumped day before the surgery and the day of the surgery.
But my surgery didn't happen till about 15:30, so guessing it was a bit too long for it to have any effect.

Today was the first day that pain wasn't a inconvenience for day to day living.
Spent the last week sitting down and only moving when I absolutely had too.
Even been sleeping there as lying down to sleep just caused more pain.

Had two surgery's on my penis and this was by far the most painful one.
Don't know if it was the sliding technique, or just the fact I've had two surgery on it before.

May be because the pump appears to be stuck on to something inside the scrotum.
Need to find out if the surgeon secured it to stop it moving about.
Or if it stuck with coagulated blood, but it seems to irritate things down there.

Hi Redbullmaster, thanks for the response. I checked out the modified sliding technique on google.It appears to be really invasive and it looks to me like they have to do a lot of delicate dissection of various critical penile anatomy. Not many have been done best I can tell. Please keep us posted on how you progress.

Regarding pumping, my doc responded to that and said it had little effect on the length of the shaft and what we notice is the increase in the glans size. I never thought of that. I have been pumping for years and never noticed any length gain but there was some girth gain. I stopped pumping for a while but I did notice after radiation that I was losing length. So I started pumping again and I think I got most of the length back. that was 7 years ago and not many were talking about penile rehab at that time. I did it because it made sense and i did not see a downside. Now it appears that after cancer treatment a lot of docs are recommending it to retain what you got. So maybe the pumping won't help with increasing IPP cylinders but I think its worth it just to get back some of what you have lost do to the many causes that impact length.

One question that maybe someone could answer. Is the sliding technique just for Peyrone's? I thought I heard on one of the videos that it is also for those who have lost length due Prostatectomy and Radiation, but I am not clear on that. One things makes sense is the modifications of the tunica. That structure seems to be the biggest problem on penile length since it is so tough and not very elastic. Looks like Dr Valenzuela in NY does the procedure in the US.
