Thanks for the reply, Mouseco. I will give it a few weeks and then make a decision. It is good to know that it is possible to do it without having everything replaced.

How many days post op Wolf? Mine took two weeks to drop down. And I didn't touch it. One day I woke up, and noticed that the pump had hit the bottom of my sack.

I been pumping little less than 4 weeks. Dont expect much first few times out. So difference between flacid & hard was about an inch or so. But on the plus side, my hard measurement has increased 1/2 inch in the 4 weeks. This makes me happy/hopeful. Can see that i should make the gains to get me back to pre-cancer length. Not much girth expansion yet. But again hopeful. So was released by Dr yesterday. He said im healing fine. He did a pump up & said i was good to go for sex. Took it for a spin last nite. Lets just say the word of the day is "mutiples". Banged it like a screen door in a wind storm. Was a little tender but no real pain. Only pumped to 70-80 %. Hope the info helps you.

Thanks Bandit, yes this helps. Gives me hope that I can get back to my pre-implant erection. But the last good one I had was about 8 or 9 months ago. Right now I'm about 4" semi pumped.

Hang in there you will get most, all, or a little more of your size. It takes a while, like at least six months and you may get gains out to two years. All this depends on too many factors to figure, me, I got lucky and gained a little. Worked great for 4 1/2 years, now looking to get it replaced. Leaks can suddenly deflate your ego.

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that info. Sorry to hear about the leak. Seems a little pre-mature to me. Hey, I guess you have to look at the bright side, you got a good 4 1/2 years out of it. Sounds like you liked it! And it won't be like the first time, not knowing anything about implants and what to expect. When are you getting the revision? Is the revision recovery, worse, same, or better?
