4 Weeks Post Op Report

[Cajun Jeff]

Well 4 weeks ago I was getting this thing done. Dr Hellstrom at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans was my Dr. I wish I had known how easy this surgery was going to be. As of today I have not had any pain. When I left the hospital I was not inflated. At the 2 week checkup my only concern was that I was having to strain to urinate. The Dr reached in and pressed the release button and instructed me to squeeze my dick. Come to find out I had a bit of fluid in the cylinders. Was advised that activation was going to be Feb 26. This is at the 6 week timeline.

I know all you guys keep telling me patience patience patience. I am just not good with that! Shortly after the 2 week checkup all the swelling was gone in the bag and I was able to identify all the parts of the pump. The pump did drop a bit lower in the bag. I just had to see if I could give it a pump. Well hot damn it works. I was able to give it a couple of pumps and release it.. Later that day 3 pumps. At this time I can get it to 7 good pumps and a few small pumps.

I am close to my pre surgery erection but not quite there hoping with cycling I will get there. Have had a few as you guys say self love test and it works fine. Then this weekend I just had to go for the gold!

WOOHOO I am a happy man!

First time at 4 weeks for me hurt a little but was magic. You've jumped the first hurtle and have got so much to look forward to. Congrats for joining the club. At nearly 5 months I sometimes forget I even have it till my wife jumps my bones fresh out of the shower. I almost forgot I can have sex anytime I have a willing partner. We're making up for lost time. Keep cycling daily and get a good book on sexual positions. You're going to want to try them all, just because you can!

Congrats Jeff, I also jumped the gun by having careful sex at about 24 days. No problems at all, I believe if there's no swelling or unhealed incision why not?

I think you can lose a fraction of an inch due to glans not engorging?

Hey Jeff,

Glad to hear things are going so well. I'm sure you can't wait to use your new toy!

I am getting activated this Friday. I found the deflate tabs last week and have deflated since there is still fluid in the cylinders. I had so much surgery because of the PD I have swelling that is reducing greatly. I had plaque removed. I had a plication and a scrotal skin removed. That was never discussed. But my non world class surgeon knew that the pump would not sit correctly in a ball sack that dropped into the water of the toilet bowl. So the scrotal skin now starts where. It should be.

I have tried the pump but I am getting resistance and not brave enough to squeeze harder. So I will wait til Friday. The xiaflex injections caused skin under the glans to rip durning implant. So surgeon but a stitch in the area. So my reconstructed package will be ready for trial runs later this week. I know the swelling has reduced since the perma erection is now pointing to 430. It was at 3pm for the past weeks.

a ball sack that dropped into the water of the toilet bowl.

I hate those high-water toilets, and my low-hangers hate them a lot.
I have figured out how to do it without problems, but it takes a bit of work with both hands.

- First I hold my scrotum up over the toilet seat with my right hand.
- Then I push my penis downwards with my left hand.

This allows the poop to go into the toilet bowl (without low-hangers in the water) and the pee to go into the toilet bowl as well (without shooting out between the seat and the bowl and onto the floor).

[Wow! The weird things you learn on FT!]

Peeing between the seat has resolved for the most part. I can now pee in the toilet instead of on it. First 4 weeks postop I needed a plastic urinal. Progress, don’t need anymore.

Junior, Indid give the bad boy a test run! It does work perfectly well.
