I'm one week post surgery with him now.


Good luck with your recovery. I'm wondering if we met in his waiting room last week in London? I was from Lincolnshire.

Cheers


totaltom!

Welcome to the bionic brotherhood !
Wish you a speedy recovery! :D

@Donger,
is all well now with your incision? Do you continue healing well?

Be well
Dan



Hi Dan,

All good on the incision and 1 week into cycling now. Just discomfort in the penis itself at one side at the base (part of the cyclinder) and still getting some discomfort at times in the region of the reservoir, all normal though I think.

Cheers

Ha! Yes that was me, hi again. You were the guy sitting opposite me, 3 weeks post surgery, right?
Glad to read it's going well for you. I've still got bruising and discomfort, but, touch wood, no infection. Swelling has reduced and I can feel the pump and pipes inside.
Thanks for putting me onto this site, good to be in touch.

That indeed was me.
Time flies and you're already a week post op which is good mate. Feel free to private message me if you want swap numbers. I did leave my number for both of you guys, but not sure it got passed on?
Might be easier if you have any questions or anything about how you're getting on as we've had the same surgeon, and might be good to share experiences going forward on how we're healing.

Cheers

GoodWood wrote:Regarding glans engorgement: Expect your glans engorgement to be similar post implant to what it was preimplant. The blood flow for your glans is separate from the corpus cavernosa. It should be uneffected by the implant surgery.

The most common reason to have no glans engorgement is prostatectomy with nerve damage. It’s not the norm.

A lot of us find daily cialis helpful for glans engorgement (or similar ED pills). Some guys report success with TriMix urethra gel.


Regarding the second point of not getting an implant if you have ANY erectile function: bullocks. A lot of us could get erections, but erections that were not rigid enough for penetrating sex. That was my case. I got “erect”. It looked impressive. It got thick. It looked big. But it wasn’t firm enough to penetrate. Hand job, blow job, masturbation OK. Fucking no.

If you don’t get erections that function well enough for what you want to do, and pills/shots aren’t helping enough, then it’s time for an implant.

Your description of your erectile function (20%) sure sounds like it’s time for implant. However much your glans gets engorged now is likely what you will have after implant. If you aren’t taking daily Tadalafil yet, consider it.


Seeking, I’ve got to agree with just about everything that GoodWood has said with an additional comment or two. Just the act of stretching out your penis with the implant, especially when combined with the physical and psychological stimulation of sexual relations, you may likely find that your glans swells up and fills out just like it would if ED wasn’t an issue for you. If not there are the options listed above. Additionally the use of a sex shop cock ring would help to improve engorgement of the head of your dick.

As for Claire I’ve got to say that I personally would not be too big on taking advice from a woman on this matter. Based on your conversation with her it almost seems as if she is receiving a bonus for the men whom she is able to discourage from going through with the procedure. Or maybe she’s just a man-hater. Either way I’d seriously consider the recommendation of totaltom and go speak with Prof Raheem.

The implantation procedure, though it does have its risks it is a game changer. Some might say a life or even a soul saving experience. I hope that you are able to find some better guidance than what you received from Claire and I wish you all the best.
