I am glad I found this forum a few days before my surgery. It helped answer some questions that I would have otherwise not asked my Dr about, I think. It also helped me to be able to ask more specific questions to my Dr and to be able to have a little input.
I was around 9" a few years ago and around 10 1/2" before ED slowly started hitting me around 30yoa. about three years ago I was at the point of barely getting an erection, even with injections and declining from there.
After my surgery, the doc showed me my penis and explained to me that they left it partially pumped at about 1/3 of the capacity of the cylinders. I measured it the next day as well as I could with all the swelling and what-not I have about 3 1?2 inches. Does this mean I may be able to recover to 9+ inches?
Also, are there any tips on how to keep your penis pointing straight UP? The Doc said this was the preferred position for recovery, so I would like to follow directions but the little bugger wants to stick straight out or just kind of fall the the left (I have always hung to the left).
I would appreciate any feedback, thank you!

I’m two weeks post surgery myself. Went for f/u last Wednesday in which the doc deflated me (said I was at 25%), told me to come back in two weeks. He told me to keep the head of my pecker in my waist and pointing up. I do that or wear spandex material underwear to have it pointimg up. It is very uncomfortable but I try to adjust when I can. Good luck man!

For how long does the doc recommend wearing it up?

I had my surgery on Oct. 10, too. I was 8" and share your concern about size but think I'll do okay. I was 5.5" after surgery and now measure 6.3" from the top with no partial inflation. There is likely too much swelling in your pelvis to get an accurate read on size, which has been my case. Full inflation and cycling will make a difference after you heal. I was not told to keep my penis upward. I wonder if this depends on the type of implant or surgical approach? I hope I didn't miss something, lol! What type and size of implant did you get?
