Hard and Worrying Recovery Process

[Irish Lad 34]

I'm 19 days post-op. I've been left fully deflated. Swelling and bruising is all mostly gone and was never much of a serious issue.

I've had the penis pointed up for nearly 3 weeks and I'm fed up with that.

But now what's worrying me is I have less girth now than what I had 2 weeks ago. It's mostly shrunk at the base. It also just generally feels so plastic and artificial, not meaty at all like a normal penis. The base of my penis has a worse looking shape and a good deal less girth in it now than it did 2 weeks ago.

I'm due to be cleared for cycling when I see the surgeon again on Thursday and it couldn't come quicker. All this lying around with my hands tied around my back like this has been exhausting. I'm very eager to cycle now to try and regain shape and size. I'm down a good bit of length, girth and the shape is not looking nice at this stage. I'll be devastated if it does not dramatically improve for the better.

Your girth that has gone down since the week after surgery is probably just the swelling getting better over time as you heal. You're right that the penis will feel more plasticky in some ways, after all you do have two big plastic tubes inside your penis now. This is the tradeoff in order to be able to have sex again.

It's horrible. I'm hoping for dramatic improvements when I inflate and start cycling on Thursday.

Sounds like you're in the "What the hell did I let them do to me?" stage. Give it time, healing is a slow process.
I went through the same thing, took a while for everything to fall into place.

Today is my 41st day post-op. I've been cycling for 30 days now, and my girth has completely returned and is now 16 cm. The length has increased only slightly, maybe half a centimeter. You're going through the most difficult period now. You're shocked by all these kinks inside your penis and its unnatural appearance. Be patient. After a month, those damn kinks have become significantly softer. But the feeling of a plastic penis is really killing me. It takes time to accept this. Did the surgeon offer you AMS before the surgery? Or were you simply unaware of what you'd have to deal with after the surgery?
