First time implant done yesterday.

Postby GoNavy » Wed Apr 10, 2024 3:13 pm

This is definitely a first personally speaking.
I got an AMS 700 CX measuring 21cm and 0 rear tip extenders done yesterday here in Phoenix, Arizona
by Dr Blick. I saw three urologists before him and the last one highly recommended him. Anyway I just got the catheter taken out today and the bandages off it’s much more comfortable. I’m not really sure what to expect here in the future. I’m a 47 year old US Navy Veteran and I look younger than I am. I feel younger too. Hopefully I’ll be healing faster. I’m not really 100% sure what to expect for the healing process and all that good stuff but things look good so far.

best wishes for your speedy recovery, relax, now what's done is done, all that remains is to stay calm and heal, have you measured how much you had before the surgery? in order to understand if everything will return

Awesome!

Expect a few rough patches here and there, but in few months you'll be fine.
Best wishes.

Measurements before and after surgery are identical.
Dr. Blick did the penal scrotal approach. So far walking around with the catheter yesterday was not pleasant, and today after the catheter removal it’s so much better. No loss of sensation. Everything almost seems identical to before except for the soreness from new hardware to get adjusted to.

When I had my surgery the doctor made a 1" scrotal incision. My balls swelled up to 9/10 the volume of a baseball and stayed that way for almost a month. I was getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning from a dead sleep, from the pain, to take a cold shower, all through February and into March.
