Sorry, forgot to answer this.

I had the infrapubic. Everything seems to be perfect so far except for the location of the pump, which seems to be higher up than expected and emerging from the left side of the base of my dick. This means that the top of the deflate button housing rests against my scrotum high on the left, which can be a bit uncomfortable when my legs are together or crossed lying down.

I've tried pulling the pump down with varying degrees of courage, but it seems anchored. I would be happy to leave it to the surgeon to have a hands-on diagnosis except that the consultation is due via telehealth phone call three weeks post op (which seems earlier than many). Perhaps it's better to book a flight instead.

We walk every day with the dog in the beautiful autumn tree-lined streets without any discomfort.

However, I do have to put both fists in jeans pockets when passing impressionable young girls, but otherwise I'm not ashamed of the trouser bulge.
I reckon that there's a lot of body shaming of male genitals, but females wear the most revealing tops and tights/leggings, even to the extent of visible camel toe.
By contrast, guys feel that they have to wear those ridiculously long shorts at the beach or pool, which makes swimming awkward.
Whatever the reason - and I'm guessing that it's shyness at making visible one's cold-shrunken junk - that is no longer necessary now that the Bionic Brotherhood has Proud Private Parts.

Wear your bulging budgie smugglers with pride, brothers! 8-)


Hahaha Doggedly, you're right about women these days, they wear the most revealing clothes and they think we're not gonna look. My wife keeps watch on my bulge and wants it in check when we go out :!: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Dog, you're not from Alabama are you, I've never heard a guy from downunder use reckon :lol:

Heal up soon, so you can start using that Bionic Weapon

I had post op checks at 2 weeks, 6 weeks (activation); and have a further one scheduled at 4 months. I'm grateful to have my medical team close by, about 15 minutes drive. It's been comforting to have them check things in person, but I've also been able to email photos of visible issues like stitches, swelling etc. Pump is a bit more difficult to assess. I would probably book a flight if it was me.

Pumped or not? :o :o :o

I guess it depends on how game you are :lol:. Actually I wouldn't pump it, you'd probably get arrested :shock:.

Now that I'm older young women dressed like that often give me a smile if I make eye contact.
I'd like to think it's now because of the bulge in my pants, but they probably figure that I'm harmless :lol:.

Hell, no. We get US culture beamed at us non-stop, so we're slowly becoming Yankee clones.

I live in a beautiful place - Tasmania - which couldn't be further away from Alabama.

Hey, Hey, Hey, :lol: There's nothing wrong with a little bit of Southern Alabama slang :lol: No Yankee clone here, I'm from Alabama :lol: But I settled in San Antionio, Texas after my Air Force career. :)
My wife and I haven't been to Australia yet, we would love to make a trip over there and visit Tasmania also.

Sorry about the beaming the US culture over there,

Keep in mind that LGX 21 expands in length to about +3cm. So at full inflation it's like having a titan 24cm (and that's very big)


I think you misunderstand the concept of the implant expands. From all my reading and videos I’ve watched, at its max it would be the length it’s advertised. The advantage to these implants is that they allow you to have a smaller flaccid. So they shrink back more.

I’m really enjoying this thread as I just started it a few minutes ago and get to see the progress over a few minutes…. lol
Your whole recovery is pretty much textbook! Sound like your on the road to a great full recovery.
I will add that at 3-4 months I thought wow it’s starting to feel normal….. yes and No… it does to a degree but by 6/8 months you really began to feel normal and actually forget about it for many hours at a time. But, by the one year mark when I quit cycling every day it became a totally normal dick. By this point your new flaccid is just totally normal and you can go days without much thought of even being implanted. Now at almost 3 years is as normal as it ever was back in my youth. Hard to remember what a grower was ever like! Love my bionic member and never regretted a single day. Hang in there, it only gets better with time!

stop propagating false information. We have already discussed this! LGX 18 when fully inflated expands to a total of 21cm (similar to what happens to a LGX 21 that becomes about 24cm upon inflation), here is the proof:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23486&start=10#p227106
LGX 18 + 1, 90 cc. 2023/12
Pre-OP VED length: 5.5". Post-OP: 4". At 3 months post-op: 5".
Cycling with a lot of pain for the first 5 months, now improving
If you have a motorcycle or a bike stop using it (ED with motorcycle accident).

At ~7 weeks post op I can only comment on my very limited experience with the LGX 21. But my flaccid dick is already consistently much longer than it has ever been in my life. Definitely gone from "grower" to "shower". I am not at pre RRP erect length, but I'm only a week into cycling so I don't yet know what will happen further down the track.

Thanks Rider! :) Yes, I'm definitely happy with how it's going so far.
Fingers crossed we keep going in the right direction without too many bumps in the road.
