Its in... Mid 30s implanted with Rigicon Infla10 AX on NHS UK

[splitpeach]

split we have exactly the same device. It seems strange that you lost so much of your original size. I was more or less the same and maybe gained 0.5 cm since surgery, and I was very late with cycling. I think you guys are much too early after so short time, your dick and balls are still full with trauma and I could not imagine to cycle after such a short time. Be aware the 10ax is not easy to deflate at all, if you are still swollen you will prolong your healing because I think you manage this only under painkillers and this again brushes over eventually other issues. Be patient my advice.

When you say that you were pretty much the same size, how soon after surgery do you mean? Immediately after? Because like I said, that's definitely not me.

I have to be honest and say that the left side of my scrotum in particular still isn't ready for l cycling. Still way too tender.

I saw immediately that I am now a shower because my flacid was nice and full compared before and as soon I start to cycle I saw and measured that my size was closed to the same as before surgery. I had 16,5 cm VED but this does not count because you wont get that back due do the pressure VED gives your tissue over a very short time. So my size bone pressed is 15,5 wich now is 0,8 cm away from where I am. Between 14,5 and 15. And will I gain 0,5 cm I am satisfied if not I dont care she gets multiple already thats fine with me.
I mean I would not mind I had 18-20 cm dick, even if its not always an advantage, but god or my father did not give it to me, so we life with what we got and make the best out of it. As long it is bionic we are all doing fine I think.

Relax forget cycling now, I could not start before week 10 and it did not give me any disadvantage.

And yes, do not measure now esp since you havent started cycling. My unit looked funny the first time i inflated. Nowadays, it looks better. Its bigger already than compared to 3 days ago. My flaccid is bigger already too. So, patience. theres a good chance we will at least make it to 6.5 inches minimum for length which is still above average, though im really hoping to get back to 7 inches length. Im less worried about girth at this time as my base girth is already back to normal.

Interesting. Maybe they were trialling the larger resevoirs out there. I got 110ml.

My dick looks totally different. Crooked, very thin, floppy glans, low angle. I did apparently have fibrosis though so perhaps that's why. There needs to be a lot of change that's for sure. I'll be cycling heavily, VED S's traction and I'll get a second opinion... Maybe MRI for peace of mind

What was your situation re fibrosis?

Lots of fibrosis on right side. Little blood flow too. He couldnt get the dilator in. He had to use the scissors of sorts to break the fibrosis.

No floppy glans. Both tips are in mid glans though off by about 2 mm. It doesnt change how my glans appear though. No tilting of glans or anything. Unit is perfectly straight but points/tilts right side which is my normal. Solid base, no wobbling. Very rigid. Interestingly my flaccid is bigger now than when i was immediately post implant since i started cycling. I would say wait til you can cycle first. Its really too son for us to notice anything.

That's very useful. Did you get an explanation as to the cause of your fibrosis? Mine was injections apparently. But I would inject both sides so was surprised that it was only on the left, which, if anything, was the side I used the least.

I went in today and grabbed the junior doctor. I didn't have an appointment and so it was pretty good that he just took me somewhere to have a look at it. There were no rooms available so I was just standing in the ward with this young little asian doctor looking up at me answering my questions as he's face to face with my mutilated slug.

Contrary to what he initially told me I wasn't inflated 80% but more like 40 - 50%. He then gave me a few more pumps so now I'm perhaps up to 70%.

The angle has immediately improved. The curvature on the shaft has improved as did the length slightly, so I think those will now be ok. But the glans is still hooked downwards, much more than pre-op. I think that there are procedures that can address this in the future so I'm not overly concerned about that right now.

Other than that ithas a now a much more pronounced lean to the left but most concerning of all is that despite the extra pumps girth did not improve at all. And then the hammer blow; he told me that he doesn't expect me to gain any more girth.

That really worries me. I feel half the size I was in my hand now. It's a pencil dick, whereas before i had a pretty nice thick cock.

I argued that the rigicon cylinders were the largest on the market and I was naturally much tougher thicker than this before so I didn't understand it. I double checked that the narrow cylinders hadn't been put in but he confirmed that they had not.

Its not just that the urethra isn't engorged, its really the width of my dick. Considering he gave me a few more pumps today I've said to move my follow up from two weeks away to next week with the surgeon, Ralph himself.

Will see what comes out of that. Some improvement today but still work to do!

The information that you were told you wont get thicker is just wrong. It takes months for the final size to settle in after cycling. Cycling is the most important thing you can do. My surgeon will clear me to go back to using my ved after 4-6 weeks.

Same here - injection related fibrosis. Except only on the right side. And i could actually feel the fibrosis as i was pushing the needle in. Weird how the injections affected one side but not the other.

My flaccid now looks bigger than immediately post op at 20/30 percent inflation.

Cycling makes a huge difference.

Considering were like twins — close in age, same device, same measurements. Well be fine. dont stress too much

Just to help reassure you, i looked thin on that first week before cycling. When i started cycling this week - i almost immediately gained some width. Im telling you im back to 6.5 inches at the base, 5.5 midshaft. I was 6 preop midshaft but i know ill get there. So the thickness is already improving and its only been 12 days since surgery.

We all differ in how fast we heal, but once you can fully cycle- you should be on your way. Im just curious how we both turn out in a year. Itd be fascinating if we both end up the same.

Hakky is aggressive with cycling— he wants me eventually to hit 2-3 hrs a day inflated.

And start doing helicopter exercises. He told me to do them last week one week out from surgery. Essentially deflated i rotate my shaft. I do it sometimes with one hand at the base as a clamp. Sometimes without. Not sure which is the best. He told me do it 5 mins a day.

I think (and hope) you're right on girth. My anatomy seemed to allow for much more girth pre-op and so the rigicon chambers should be able to expand much more than they are. Unless it's to do with engorgement! I feel like there's more skin laxity on my dick now even when inflated. Like a fat guy that's lost a lot of weight. Maybe that will tighten up when things expand.

Im happy with the improvement today so hopefully there'll be more in a weeks time and I can start cycling.

Good to hear that you too looked thin in week one and have since recovered.

I think I'm about 70% inflated now. Ngl it hurts, but as I'm not yet cycling I'm like this for another week at least! I don't mind. Im not having to work so I'll take a week of punishment if it stretches things out early.

When you say helicopter exercises do you mean like the perito exercise?

What's the logic in doing it deflated?

If you're cycling already what's Hakky's issue with you using VED now too? Swelling still?

[1984ptc]

Too early to ved. I still have that wound. He wants that healed which makes sense. Priority now is to cycle. Perito exercises/helicopter exercises are all in my opinion to loosen that surg capsule that forms around the cylinder. Cycling is what makes you thick again.

When cycling i do a mild perito. Its not the most comfortable feeling. I did 3 sessions of 20 mins each today - total of 1 hr inflation time. Not bad for someone just 2 weeks out.

Scrotal swelling is almost gone. Hakky will clear me for sex at the 4 week mark. I need to ask him when i can rub one out. This is the longest i havent had a release and its driving me nuts.

Planning to eventually make my way to 2 hrs a day.
