Lost Sheep My blood glucose was high during the surgery/recovery period for a couple of reasons: 1. I am also on Coumadin (blood thinner) and to do the surgery, I had to do a 'bridging' where I stop the Coumadin and start giving myself Lovenox shots twice a day...this 'bridging' allows my blood to &...

Lost Sheep I too am a Diabetic (type II) implant patient, so I can give you my perspective on pain/healing/infection risk... But I did not do the pre-op inflation bit as I had my surgery done at the Tripler Army Regional Medical Center and they did not offer nor support my request to have this done ...

I am very happy with my implant...

So much so that I had my surgeon do several additional surgeries...

My only ...

First the burning sensation will dissipate while the thickened skin that feels like rough 'leather' will hang around much longer. Everything you are describi...

Yes, that's what I experienced at the 2 week post-op mark... Burning sensation around the pump and areas of thickened skin associated with the lateral scrotal incision... It will dissipate with time... Your recovery sounds like it's proceeding on the normal path...at least it sounds a lot like mine ...

Vagabond My wife of 28 years knows about the implant surgery...heck, she drove me to the hospital and was there for me during the recovery...wives are like that I guess...!
