Under 40 years old, implanted TODAY, April 15, 2021 - Daily updates post-op

Postby WillyWonka22 » Thu Apr 15, 2021 4:54 pm

Hey guys,

When I was searching this forum before, I found several post-op update pages that offered insight into how things felt and the notable progress. However, one thing I noticed was that due to my heart condition, most were at a different point in life than I am.

So if anyone wants to check in, to see the recovery and notable info for someone in their mid 30’s, check back for updates!

Also, feel free to ask any questions as I would like to pay forward the kind words and advice that was sent my way by many of you, leading up to this :)

Hope all goes well during your recovery. Any information you post will be helpful. There are many younger fellows suffering from ED and seeking answers.

Day 1 - very medicated and could feel the lingering effects of the anesthesia.

Immediately after the procedure they moved me to the recovery area.

I was awake maybe an hour after the procedure and laid there while the doctor came in and explained it all.

He explained that originally they had me ready for an AMS 700 LGX, but after measuring, he said that I was “too big” for the LGX and fitted me with the CX.

After speaking with the doctor, the nurse had me go into the bathroom with her. She put some saline solution UP my catheter, removed the catheter, and then had me push the fluid out to ensure I could urinate on my own. It worked just fine, BUT, for the first couple days, expect it to burn when you urinate.

Went home and took my meds, slept easily given the cocktail of medications.

Day 2 - today the pain is setting in and often times feels more like burning than it does soreness. It’s an unfamiliar pain and to someone who asked, I told them to imagine having a terrible STD with no cure. Sorry, but that’s the best description I could imagine lol.

The members in this forum are correct... laying flat and icing is the best move you can make.

Day two was pretty much laying down, taking meds, and watching TV. I was able to get up to use the bathroom a few times and as expected, I am very bruised.

Day 3 - this is the day where I’m allowed to shower! However, given the way I felt, this wasn’t too exciting. Eventually I made my way into the shower and it felt great.

Almost to the end of my pain meds and taking my other medication, some kind of doxycycline.

Trying to continue to lay flat.

Day three was deceptively progressive as far as pain and managing it goes. I spent more time than I probably should have walking around and standing.

Day 4 - showered again and starting to feel less dependent on others to hand me items or bring me a water. Pain is still there but at this point my biggest pain is from my back. After spending a few days laying down all day, my body has had it and wants to stand.

Other than this, all is normal. Even went for a car ride today.

Day 5 (today) - for some reason today is VERY painful. My back is tired of laying down so much, and my lower abdomen feels swollen and is still very bruised. Using the bathroom isn’t difficult and showers are easy.

Hoping to find a way to balance this pain in the back by walking and sitting/standing more.

Dependent on your lifestyle, I would say that I prefer marijuana edibles over pain pills from a doctor. No itch, last longer, and puts a smile on your face. If you don’t like those, and prefer the pain pills, be sure to take a stool softener.

Thanks for the update. Glad it's going well. Still terrified of the thought of having this done at some point! Keep the updates coming :D

I know the feeling but don’t be terrified (easier said than done)... I have had my fair share of surgeries and medical procedures, however I will never get used to things like the smell of a hospital, fear of needles, anxiety in anticipation, fear of medical mistakes...etc but just like my fear of needles, EVERY time it’s over, it’s a reminder of how it’s all in my head.

If you find yourself without other options and in need of this procedure, fear not, because once you have a good doctor and let the process play out, the relief is something that can’t be explained. I no longer have to worry about my significant other drinking or feeling frisky, and becoming hopeful of something I can’t deliver. I’ll never feel again that I’m AFRAID this beautiful girl will like me enough to want to come home with me. Instead, my worries will be more about a concern, knowing what she’s in for, rather than sadness and disappointment about what used to be or could have been in my life.

This issue has plagued me tremendously. My wife walked out on us a couple years ago a day after I came home from my second heart attack. I still was able to perform naturally with the help of pills at that time, but after the second heart attack my body became advanced in its inabilities. Following this, I found myself single in my 30’s, for the first time in a decade. I had taken care of myself physically and don’t struggle to meet women. However, what I wrote off as flukes for a while became understood as my body losing its ability to get an erection. I had extreme feelings of loneliness after my divorce but had to play this game where I’d go on dates and then find an excuse to not follow up or ever take anyone up on their offer to come over or go back to my place.

During this time there were a couple girl that I really liked and fell for. But trying to start a new relationship while being unable to perform, in this age demographic, just doesn’t work. Try asking any 30ish woman in the dating world “okay, you find a great guy, checks the boxes, BUT, his penis doesn’t work...” we all know what the honest answer is. It’s the most defeating feeling. So after a couple failed relationships with wonderful people, it started to turn from loneliness and frustration to flat out depression. I tried everything and spent so much money. The p-shot plus GAINSwave, pills, supplements, testosterone, peptides, pelvic exercises, other stretches or holds...etc. I’d get massages to aid body circulation, cryotherapy to send blood flow to the surface... I literally tried EVERYTHING.

So now, having it done and being okay so far, when I think about fears or being terrified... having a couple weeks of soreness and pain, followed by better functionality than I had when I was 18 years old... the biggest fear I can think of, is going back to the lifestyle where I feared building relationships and was terrified that the hot chick I talked to may actually like me. But most of all, the terrifying feeling of going on like that for if not the rest of my life, at least through what still feels like a prime.

People who know me very well can see that I’m in pain from surgery, but they still say I look happier. :)

Day 5+ - So now it’s been a week since the procedure and I’m experiencing extreme discomfort. I am out of pain meds and there is a constant burning sensation. The odd part, is that I felt much progress leading up to this point, but just about 2 days ago it turned into extreme discomfort, a feeling of constant burning, and almost as if my body isn’t accommodating the new equipment very well.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to relieve this painful feeling, I am all ears!
