Implant diary

Congrats on the implant. Recover well.

Ask Ralph if he used a single or sequential dilation. Very curious. Ive read some people saying that you can get some residual natural erection with single dilation as more tissue is preserved.

Thank you for the support!

He's popped in this morning and deflated me, asked him the question, he said he dilates twice and thinks this leaves enough tissue preserved.

Thanks for feeding that back. That's encouraging!

Sounds like you're on a good path with it! Give it a few months don't forget before measuring!

Day 3

So last night was rough, kept waking up with a shooting pain in my left testicle, must of been 3 or 4 times. But they but some miracle it seemed to vanish in the morning and I managed a lye in.

Having felt great all day I took a turn for the worse in the past few hours, had shivers and a cough and feeling like I have a bit of a cold.

My penis and scrotum feels OK and looks good no puss, new swelling or anything thay looks off, took the gauze off and went and had a shower and replaced just to be in the safe said.

Done a bit of googling and a cold shortly after surgery is common so I'm not massively concerned unless I should be?

Will keep you all posted

Just to add as well I've finally had a poo, what a relief!

Hey bro. Best of luck on your journey. Hope its all going well for you. We are pretty similar in that I was also implanted in London just a few weeks ago. I was implanted by Rowland Rees at The Seymour Clinic.

Just like yourself mine did not look great when I took the bandage off after 2 days. It looked a bit like a ET's finger; definitely shorter than my natural erection, mega stiff, felt kind of artificial like metal or plastic and the upper half was mega skinny. I came to realise that I was left almost entirely deflated.

I had the drain removed on day 3 and on day 8 had a follow up. Dr Rees inflated about 90% of the water in it but we had to stop before 100% because it got sore near the top where it's skinny so I've been left deflated since day 8 and I was told I could go home to Dublin on day 8. So now I'm on day 16 and the only external damage remaining seems to be a bit of scabbing clumped at the base of the penis where the incision was made and a tiny bit of light bruising where the pump is. I'd love to start cycling now but Dr Rees told me not to touch it until I see him again next Thursday. He said I will probably be good to start cycling Thursday. By that stage I will be 22 days deflated following surgery.

I'm down appx 2cm in length but I get about 0.8cm when the glans engorges so really the length of my shaft is down about 1cm. I'm desperately hoping that I get some or all of that back along with the girth that I've lost in the upper half.

I kind of got flustered poking at it and feeling around and poking the tubing a good bit. One thing I noticed is that the tubing was very palpable for me at 4 o clock and 8 clock. On day 8 when I came home I started measuring the underside of my penis with a plastic ruler and I pushed the ruler quite hard against the tubing to measure myself and I think I noticed the corner of the ruler which can feel a bit sharp was pushing against the tube. I'm just desperately hoping that I didn't damage the tubing by doing that.
