While waiting to get rid of this malleable, I was told by my surgeon to use a vacuum device. I never wanted to use one, but I've been following the doctors advice. I bought a cheap one from Ebay and I have to admit, I'm impressed by what I see in the tube. I have not used it for sex, just therapy. The tube is 7.8 inches and I usually pump till I touch the top. My question for the people here that have used a VED before implantation is how far from vacuum pumped are you implant pumped?

I was about 7 1/2 in. x 6 in. girth, when measured with the pump still on, as I had measured marks on the pump. I used the pump 6 years for sex, since that was the only way keep an erection for sex. Now post implant I am 7 x 5 in..
The Doc that did the implant wanted his implantees to use a pump daily for at least 3 months prior to implant.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully pumping helps me retain length.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good, reasonably priced pump?

E-bay, around $30.00 Look for a universal pump sleeve. from Calexotic on e-bay also. makes a good cushion and seal between tube and pubic area. Fits up to a 3 in diameter pump. If you want to PM me I have one in the package never opened. I will mail it to you. I liked the sleeve so much I bought spare. If you are a burrito size it may fit tight. I max out at 2in diameter.

I used a Bonro Vacurect. It was about $200. It worked well.

I bought from Amazon a Lexus Maxx with a gauge. With tube, 2015 price was $85. Important to use a gauge to not put to much vacuum on it. Too much pressure will cause a bruised head. Several pics online, takes time to return to normal. Gauge allows you to increase in steps and not over doing it.

This is a link to a post that contains a photo of my marked VED tube. It shows my progress in using the VED protocol leading up to my IPP.

Note: Using the Post-Op VED Protocol, in 6 months I reached Pre-Op length. Over 2000 views.

Implant scheduled for Aug 8th. I used 2 different cheap VEDs for 2 months. Started out less then 5.5 ended at 7.1. But my max flaccid stretch is 6.5+-. And that is what my surgeon showed me would be my inflated length. Took my penis while I was standing and pulled it out. "You'll be that length," he said.We"ll see. I'm getting an LGX and will begin VED again within a week of surgery. I may try for 7.1. Not sure at this point. But from what I've read if I don't do it before scarring steals my length then it will be a long hard road to gain it. Anyone else use the VED before and after surgery?
