Sounds like you've had an excellent result. Congratulations!

FWIW, my doctor told me to cycle 4 times a day for 20 to 30 minutes each session for the first year. No info about anything after that. In the first week or two after surgery I was at about 4 and 3/4 inches. DIdn't really measure carefully. I did mostly what he told me, though 4 times a day was hard to manage, so I usually did 3, sometimes 2 or 4.

At a year, I was pushing it a little to say 5 and a half inches.

I'm now over 2.5 years since surgery. I inflate when I feel like it. Sometimes I'll get serious and do twice a day for a few weeks, but sometimes a week or two will go by without. Occasionally I'll inflate and leave it up for a few hours. Don't know whether leaving it up or cycling up and down works best for growth. I've heard both.

I measured today for the first time in over a year. I did continue to grow a little. I'm now definitely over 5 and 3/4. Girth is a little over 5. I'm very happy with the result. I'd had many years of atrophy and didn't think I'd end up this big. I don't believe I lost any size at all, but it's hard to remember what size I was before ED, as it had been a long time since I'd had a natural erection.

So in my experience I seemed to gain the most in the first year, but it has definitely grown at some point since then.

More importantly, it works again, on demand, for as long as I want.

Best wishes to you for continued success.

Thanks guys :D.
The wonderful members on FT provided info and support, without which I would never have this implant done.
I am happy with the result, but only upset with a lot of things going on in my marriage. That is why I didn't try to use my new toy yet :(.
A comment that is posted by Newbie, in another post, about adding a couple of pumps after a few minutes of inflating captured my attention. I recently started to do it, and felt that there is still room for expansion and stiffness. I usually stop when I begin to feel pain, then after a few minutes, the pain goes away. At that point the additional pumps are great!
