ElbowRoom's Implant Experience Journal

Wow, start cycling so quick after the surgery?

My doc told me wait for 6 weeks and as a matter of fact it wasn´t until week 5 when I was able to feel my release button and manage to push it, due to swollen layers and scrotum.

What is the sense of cycling so quick? Regaining size better?

Hakky is more aggressive than some other surgeons like Clavell. He wants to get things going ASAP, get the surgical capsules forming, etc. Clavell prefers to let everything heal and settle a good bit before proceeding. Just different approaches, neither right or wrong IMO. I’m sure cycling will be painful at first, but because of the approach Hakky takes with a surgical drain, I can say there has been almost no swelling, my dick and balls looks almost the same as before, and with no real pain.

Here’s what it looks like with the wrap off, 30% inflation according to Dr. Hakky. Looks very similar to the original. Maybe a slight loss of girth and a hair in length, but again nowhere near max inflation and super early in the stretching process.

The tips are toward the bottom of the glans, and my glans is canted slightly upward from before. Hakky assures me they will seat better at max inflation.

The real amazing part is look at the scrotum. Pretty much no swelling and I’m in almost no pain. I can easily play with my scrotum and can palpate the pump just behind my balls. This surgery is pretty brutal and I was steeled for anything…except an easy recovery! I think only GoodWood has had a recovery this pain and swelling free so early in the process. So far I feel quite blessed by the bionic gods.

Looks good! I am exactly one month behind you, also with Hakky. So any inside tips are appreciated. How long is it before you can start exercising, and please don’t say six weeks.

Six weeks. Sorry. You’re in your 50s, six weeks is just a moment in time at our ages!

PM me with any specific questions about Hakky or the procedure. The guy is a fantastic surgeon and an even better human being.

Well, I spoke too soon apparently! The Exparel injections must have started wearing off last night, as I was suddenly in more pain. Not crazy but noticeable. The primary pain site is above and to the right of the penis, where the reservoir was placed.

Dr. Hakky waned me I would have pain there, because I’m slender and the reservoir kept trying to slide upwards and present a noticeable bulge. To prevent that he added a figure-8 hernia repair-type suture to hold the reservoir in place. Now that the block has worn off that area is quite tender. I don’t see any bruising, bulging, or swelling, so I assume the sutures are still in place.

So I guess I’m entering the “WTF did I do to myself” phase of recovery. I knew to expect that going in so I just have to work through it. Today is Thursday and I don’t have to do much like pulling the pump down until Saturday, so I have two days to mostly just rest.

Elbow
Don’t go overboard Lol , it’s going to be great, its all ready looking very impressive! And its just unwrapped. I am slender too and had to have revision surgery to put the reservore deeper into my abdomen.
There are pictures on here somewhere, anyway you are early in the game, next dr opt, discuss the issue. Relax, Ice ,
Its all going to be good, one day at a time.

Elbowroom: The date of surgery in your signature should be in October versus November.

You are looking way better than I did so soon after surgery. I turned all shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue and black. I had a lot of swelling too. And my ballsack was huge.

Titan 28 cm should maintain and possibly increase your size.
Keep us updated with your journey.

Signature fixed, that’s math on opiates I guess.

Thanks for the support guys. I’m not too down, just realize it’s not going to be the cakewalk it first seemed. I knew going in it would be a case of highs and lows until I heal fully, and that could be months.

Taking it one day and one task at a time.
