Check with your doctor about what you can do to help condition your body for both recovery from the surgery, but also to improve the chances of maintaining your length. Here is another option for you to consider. I haven't bought the underwear or tried it, but I ran across the web site <www.stealthformen.com> that claims to increase the flaccid length of the penis. It's worth asking your doctor about it, especially in light of how Dr. Kramer measured me just prior to surgery to predict my length.
I asked my doctor (Dr. Kramer in Baltimore) about the length issue, and here is what he told me. First, scar tissue and fibrosis will effect the length of an erect penis. One way to predict the length of your penis after surgery is to stretch your flaccid penis and measure along the top of the penis from the skin at the base to the tip of the glans. Don't intentionally push the ruler back into your gut; measure from where the skin naturally rests at the base of the shaft. The penis length post-op should be between that measurement and the measurement minus 1 cm. The big variable is any scar tissue or fibrosis at the tip of the cavernosa. Such a condition complicates the surgeon's ability to place the implant up to the end of the cavernosa. In my case, he told me immediately after surgery that he did not encountered such a condition so he expects to get the full measurement (minus 1 cm).
Based upon that approach, training your flaccid penis to maintain or restore your length prior to any shrinkage resulting from ED, it might be helpful to start such a training months in advance of the surgery.
