5 days prior to implant. Had to stop daily cialis, 15 days prior. The Peyronies really did a mess of my penis. Unless I take Cialis, all nocturnal erections or morning bent woodies are gone. While really nervous about this surgery, I do realize that PD really does cause havoc with ones penis. Failed xiaflex, so now I am doing this. Expecting employer exclusion to deny claim, but will deal with that when that happens.

Right now I’m 44.5 hours from report time.

Not sweating the surgery. I’m just sort of hoping I don’t wake up with too much loss of size. I know, it’s vanity and in the big scheme it doesn’t matter. But dammit it’s how I feel.

We will see how I feel afterwards but the Operating Room nurse that called Friday to review my pre op stuff told me that the hernia I had done on the 17th was likely to have been worse than the implant will be.

Unlike Dionne Warwick or Nancy Pelosi, I won’t say a little prayer for you as I put on my makeup (I don’t wear any) but if things go good I’ll send some positive leftover energy your way.

I am 16 days our and I sure have some of the same thoughts. WOW What am I thinking!

Time will tell.

I hope the results are as good as the reviews others have posted.

you guys are having a normal reaction to an impending life-changing event. You will also probably have a "what have I done' reaction afterwards. Again, normal. I am at week 9 and am just starting to accept what has happened and starting to feel optimistic about my decision. Hang in there (pun intended).

I was that one in a million. I had no apprehension, no trepidation, no worry about anything other than just getting this done. Frankly, other than the 5 am wake-up call to get to the hospital early enough, I didn't feel different emotionally than any other time. Although I joked with people that I would eventually get the point where I was asking myself, "WTF am I doing?" or "WTF did I do to myself?", but I never did. Am I bragging, NO. I'm just really surprised that I never had any of the typical emotions associated with this procedure. I had psyched myself up for this and had watched all the videos and done all of the clinical reading and was ready, knowing this was EXACTLY what had to be done.

Regrets? Probably only one, that I didn't pick a surgeon who did more than just a handful of implant surgeries per month. For that I will most likely pay with some sort of revision to finish the job and correct any shortcomings and design flaws left by the original attempt.
