I saw a quote from Sahil Bloom yesterday that said "Everything in life you want is on the other side of something that sucks." I'm 12 days post op and recovery has not been the easiest. Better than some for sure, but not easy at all. This quote really stuck with me as this sucks, but what I want is on the other side.
Keep this in mind if you're going in to have surgery done, or are currently recovering.
Great quote for those considering surgery or recovery

Re: Great quote for those considering surgery or recovery
Great quote. Usually true, but not always.
Recovery after implant can be tough. Just think of what the surgeon did down there.

Re: Great quote for those considering surgery or recovery
I like that quote. I’ll remember it.
2 years ago i was depressed and seperated from my Brazilian wife. Among other issues, ED was a big factor in our breakup. I decided to end the marriage, get an implant, sell all my personal belongings, retire, and move to Thailand.
It was a long stretch of endless hassle. One thing after another. Mediation. Lawyers. Lies. Courts. Producing endless documents and jumping through hoops. Hopping lillypad to lillypad daily trying to get everything imaginable accomplished.
All of that sucked. I dreamed of “the other side”. Recovered from my implant in solitude and got divorced.
As i now write, i am in my rented pool villa in Thailand. 5 minutes to the beach. Retired. My sweet 32 year old Cambodian girlfriend is sleeping in the other room. I love her company and the sex is fantastic. (Thank you Dr. Clavell).
For me, that quote rang true. I’m on the other side now. Thank you forum for being there for me.

Re: Great quote for those considering surgery or recovery
I can’t disagree with any of this. But I’d like to add that it (surgery/recovery) might be totally and incredibly trouble free.
It may sound Pollyanna-ish or unrealistically optimistic but I try to expect the best and if the worst develops, I’ll deal with it.
Thoughts can become self fulfilling prophecies. If you’re expecting recovery from an implant to be torture, arduous, lengthy, and complicated….you might get your wish.
I’m 68. I’ve made it a practice my entire adult life to focus on a positive outcome. I have been disappointed, but rarely. So I would tell other guys who have made the decision that their best course of action is an implant: expect routine. Simple day surgery. Some minor discomfort and pain. Soreness & bruising. A smaller penis for a while until the body recovers from its trauma of surgery and the benefits of cycling kick in.
Yeah, some guys have complications but they’re the exception not the rule. If mine quit tomorrow I’d be beating up the surgeon on the next available surgery date and what are we gonna install.
