Surgery 1/2/20. The end of PD. Hopefully

[Biker60]

My surgery will be Thursday morning. I am getting a titan genesis. Shitting bricks, but this the only treatment left. A working penis that is straight sounds great. I think I too will keep a journal of my recovery. I will post some pre surg photos so if you don’t have PD you can see how it looks. This is really happening.

Here are some pics prior to Pd and after PD

Biker you may have to reduce the resolution of your photos in order for them to upload. I use a free app on my phone called compress to do this.

If using Windows 10, the Windows Picture Viewer has a resize function and I chose 0.25MP for my photos. Click the three dot menu in the upper right corner and choose resize.

If using Android or ios, there are resizing apps available to accomplish the same.

Wishing you luck with your surgery! I too am scheduled for January 9th. I have to say as the days get closer I am getting a little nervous. What are you doing to avoid being Nervous about your surgery? Hope you heal quickly? Best of luck!

I’m not a big fan of Franklin D. Roosevelt, but one of his famous statements was “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

He neglected to mention penile implants!

I’m teasing you, Biker. As of about 6 1/2 hours ago, I am a bionic man. Nothing to it. Git er done and rip the insurance weenies a new asshole if they balk at paying.

I don’t think I’m ready to go out and boink everything in sight. For one thing, my wife has a concealed carry permit, is an excellent shot, and might object to me spreading pollen. For another, peeing after the catheter feels like I’m shooting shards of glass out of my dick and my balls are discolored and pretty badly swollen.

Dick looks good, though. When I first woke up in recovery I used my hand to guesstimate how big it was, and not bone pressed I had about 5 1/2 inches at 60% inflated ( measuring from the top to base where I once had hair) With the swelling I probably am down to about 4 inches of visible dick but it seems to have taken the procedure well. At 60% inflation it’s harder than any erection I’ve had in years. Shape doesn’t appear to have changed much.

He used an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm with 3 cm RTE. I started with a real, not exaggerated 6.8 x 6 tool and it gave the doc a standing stretched length of 15 1/2 cm during the exam. I’m not sweating size, however, I’m convinced that I heal, I cycle faithfully, and I put the sumbitch to good use that I might get close to where I started from and regardless, I am now the proud owner of a dick which is at the very least pretty normal THAT ACTUALLY GETS HARD AND STAYS HARD FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO and I don’t have to stick needles in it nor do I have to take pills which give me a headache and acid reflux. And even with pills and needles most of the time sex is s freaking train wreck or the Hindenburg disaster, depending on how rapidly Penis chooses to deflate. Free st last, free at last, thank God almighty, I am free at last from that crap.

I suspect there will be a few bumps in the road as I recover but as of now the pain isn’t bad, very minor and easily managed. I’m sore. I’m swelling. Hell, I had my pecker operated on less than 8 hours ago. I think some of that ought to be expected.

I might start a journal with pics later, once I feel like sitting up at laptop. For now I’m icing good, watching football and Fox News, drinking lots of fluids and about to enjoy a big dip of Copenhagen, first one since surgery.

Wanted to give you an encouraging word. It’s a bit worse than a vasectomy, but not as tough as an inguinal hernia. Swelling and bruising, not pain , seem to be the worst of it.

Quick humor: I’m in Central Texas. We did have s cool front come thru and temperature was like 45 when I left hospital. Still, I wore some baggy shorts to get this done and wear back home. They were pretty well filled with grapefruit sized balls, an ice pack, and a drain on my departure. A little old lady from some church group was on her first day at the info desk when I got there. And when I left. When I got up from wheelchair to get in truck her jaw dropped a foot, she was staring at my crotch, so I smiled. Waved. And said the only polite thing I could think of.

That’s right.....we bad.

The extreme nervousness has subsided. Now that Thursday is a reality. Have to be at the hospital at 630am. Off for 3 weeks. Having last supper for 2019. Will eat light 1/1/2020 . Have not gotten any denial from insurance . Need a claim to appeal. So assume they will ask for my copay $500. And then take it from there.

Wouldn't want her to add a new hole to your shiny new toy now, would you?

Too bad you didn't get my instructions about proper Foley catheter removal before you had to have yours removed. I stopped the nurse before she pulled mine out and explained about wrinkles and ridges in the balloon and asked her to put a little saline back in before removing the catheter and it came out with no pain at all. The nurse said in her 5 years being a nurse she had never heard that before.

Thanks for the encouraging words. My doc insists on a 1 night stay at hospital. I am ok with it. I don’t have anyone to help me, so the nurses will don fine. The week of xiaflex injections was pretty brutal. How much inflation did you go home with ?

[Txagq8]

I bet you do great, Biker.

I’m home alone. I had son spend night at his grandmother’s (my mom, nearly 90, lives about 600 yards away just up the hill. We’re in the country.). But this way I’m not grossing anyone out with a purple nutsack and a semihard Penis pointing straight out. I am wearing those gauze drawers the hospital sent home with me and they’re pretty convenient....legs are tight, I can just drop the drain in not have to worry about taping it or having it fell and sway or come loose, spilling bloody gunk.

Doc initially said he was going to shoot for 65% inflated but told me prior to departure I was in the 55%-60% range. It’s not uncomfortable. Things are swelling and there’s some bruising. All that is becoming more prominent the further we get from time of surgery.

I’m pushing the fluids and peeing and that’s gotten a lot less painful.

I can feel the cylinders with my fingertips, I can tell it’s got a bit of inflatability left. What they really feel like to touch them is the corporeal bodies they replaced.

It’s about what I expected. Not fun but necessary. Not great but not bad.

Best analogy? Not sure if you were ever in military. I played Army for a living roughly 23 years. Implant surgery is boot camp. It can be miserable at times, most of the crap is seldom fun. But there’s a date on the calendar when you know it will be over. Like being a jackass in a hailstorm. Stand there and take it, knowing that nothing is forever and things WILL get better.

Oh, and one more thing. I pretty much came clean on type of surgery with family and close friends. Obviously wife knew since we had discussed this step after my periodic trip to urologist a while back. Mom wanted to know why I was sending son up the hill. I told her I was having elective surgery for a male problem. Her response almost did me in: she said “do you have peyronie’s? Your dad had micropenis but then he came down with peyronies but would never get anything done for it.” I guess if you’re a 89 year old widow you figure your 63 yr old son can handle those kinds of revelations. I was in TMI shock but had enough of my wits to assure her it wasnt peyronie’s.
