It was several days before my first BM after I got home no matter how much stuff I took. I can almost set my watch by my schedule before surgery. Had a lot of gas so it was still moving some. Finally around day 4 I had a pitiful BM but it was one. Got better every time and now I'm making up for lost time.

Try Restoralax (or whatever thay are calling it). It is a powder in a white bottle with a purple lid. Equate makes a generic brand that is the same thing but cheaper. It is tasteless and works great. I had prescription stuff that did not work but this stuff is AWESOME. I take a lot of pain killers that bungs me up but not anymore. :)

"My surgeon said the latest research shows no benefit for full inflation following surgery, so they deflated me to 30%."
Prof,
I was inflated 20% came home with 4 inches. It took me 5 months struggling daily to finally make it to 6.75. The benefit for full inflation for the first 2 weeks is instant length. Keep that in mind these next 5 months as you struggle daily to painfully make your tips stretch you out. That will be something you can take back to your doctor at 6 weeks ( when you are about 4.5") and say Really????.

I just worry that the reservoir will get trapped in crap and not be able to inflate.
I don't think I've heard of that happening.
I too, was deflated leaving the hospital for 15 days.
On my first inflate, I was at my age old length.

Tomas,
Your implant is slightly longer than mine. if you don't mind sharing what is your current fully pumped length? Just trying to figure out how these things work. I'm going to have my LG X replaced in this June and I'm going to ask for a CX instead. thanks in advance

It’s been 6 days since my surgery. I’m going to attempt teaching a 3 hour class tomorrow morning. I think I’ll be ok. It will prob be good for me to help build back my energy levels. Then again... :D

My gut is finally empty. My wife gave me a cocktail of milk of magnesia and prune juice last night.

Nights seem to have the worst pain for me. I’m off of the narcotics now. Too soon?

Doug, I'm now and always have been 6" bone pressed. It seems we all have different amounts internally. I finally measure girth yesterday (I have way too much free time nowadays) and it was 5.5".

Just wondering, but are you opting for the CX for better rigidity due to your condition? It does appear to have some rigidity when flaccid.

Thanks Tomas,
I'm going to ask Dr Kramer to dilate further into my right glans. Do not want to have any extra pressure that the LGX offers. Besides he will most likely give me back my 6.75 inches and I don't want any more. Right now I'm afraid that I will reach 7 inches again before my surgery. I'll just have to live with the harder CX cylinders.
My main goal is to get safe. The rest is up for grabs. What ever Kramer suggests that is what I will do.

Sounds like a plan. Baltimore was my home town, but I've been out of state since 1965.
I used to drive past UofM hospital everyday going to work near BWI airport.

I thought about going to Kramer for my procedure, but don't have family there anymore.

It's also a long way from AZ lol.
