Concerned

[Bwtbbb]

It should be no problem and I had a similar problem. I was implanted with a Titan on Dec 8, then I was seen on Dec 22 for a check up and then again on Jan 13, when I thought I would be cleared for cycling, etc. My surgeon noticed a stitch was still around and told me, "Let's hold off for a couple of weeks as a precaution before clearing you." I was heading to Florida (I"m a snowbird) so she suggested a tele-med visit. Her office postponed my first tele-med call, so I ended up not talking to her almost two months from my surgery. I was like you, very anxious about the delay...our brain is our worst enemy, so I went through all the worst case scenarios in my mind. On Feb 7, I was given the OK to start inflating, told what to do and it was suggested I check the manufacturer's, Coloplast, website. I was instructed to inflate just a few pumps enough to see the penis grow and then deflate a couple of times, just in case the deflate button did not work and I had to go to a local urologist for help. I was able to figure it out, especially after reading FT posts and now I am cycling every day, etc. My first time at "full pump" I was not quite 5" and while not ecstatic, i was OK with the size. The first few times I was a little sore, nothing horrible, but noticeable. However, after a few days I was able to pump more and I have gained almost 3/4 an inch in size already. I am hoping to get back to my old size (6 1/2") in the future. And even if I don't make it, I'm quite pleased as a working 5 3/4" penis in my mind is better than a 6 1/2" non-working penis.

You say it shouldn't be a problem but you lost 0.75 inches? That's not a good outcome if you don't continue to gain more length.

His surgery was December 8th, 2022, only 76 days ago. He'll get there. I think it's fair to say it's a process that'll likely take a year or longer.

I’m now scheduled for a post surgery visit Friday, 3/3/23. That’s 9 days after the original post surgery date. Not too bad. I guess I’ll wait. I have to back to have a stitch removed as a result of the drain they inserted during surgery anyway. Thanks for all the quick replies.

Nice, I'm quite positive you'll be all right. I got my implant November 2nd, 2021, and it was activated November 30th, but I didn't do anything with it until I messaged my urologist on December 5th asking if I should be cycling:



I had no good reason for putting it off. I think it was still just a little sore, but also I don't think I was aware of what my first times cycling would be like. I had some idiotic idea I'd pump right up to my size before implant. NOPE, lol, everyone loses size at first.

So, the day I first pumped and measured my size was December 7th (the 6th was spent with me trying to figure out how the hell to pump it. I kept squeezing the wrong spot). I was a tad over 6.5" then, down from 8.75". That means after implant I didn't touch anything for 35 days. And with your new appointment you'll now be starting after 43 days. So yes, you missing 8 days more than me will definitely not have any impact whatsoever. You'll be trying to exercise it fairly consistently for at least a year now. And improvements will be very incremental. I do remember my first noticeable "gains" were around Christmas. I'd jumped up over an inch pretty quickly, but from that point forward it's all been incredibly incremental. Like, gaining maybe .1" every few weeks. And the measurement sizes you get will be a little sporadic, like you're not always gonna pump the same exact amount of fluid every time before you hit the bypass, and times of day/mood probably matter. So don't expect an obvious increase that's consistent and easily observable, because it's not.

And lastly, I can't find the email anymore (unless someone can tell me how to open those .csv files of old FrankTalk messages I saved before having to delete them to save space in my inbox) but it was around early-January when I sent a DM to someone here on FrankTalk freaking out if my missing that ~week of cycling had destroyed all my chances at regaining my size!!! So, I can totally relate to this post (and I didn't even have any ice storm cancellation that would freak out anyone!) but you could probably miss the first few months after getting an implant and it still wouldn't stop you from regaining your size.

Am I reading this right that you are 9.5 inches with only 24cm of implant? That’s amazing. I got 24.5cm of implant and only measured 7.5 at my peak haha. What do you attribute the monster size to despite having a more modest implant size?

Yep, it is true. I sent JetsFans a message with link to an imgur album I'm keeping tracking my size. Anyone can message me for it if they're interested. I'd share it here but it just seems kinda weird to publicly have a ton of my dick pics floating around the internet. Don't want my niece or some other people finding it. No offense to anyone who does share them here. I think it's helpful for the community, just me openly posting tons of my pics trying to show off how long my dick gets is not a thing I feel like messing around with.

About what I can attribute my size to? Honestly, I don't know and I'm not an expert, but these are my best guesses:

Well first I was 8.75" before. So jumping up to about 9.5" now is reasonable, especially since the AMS 700 LGX advertises as being able to increase length up to 25%. For a man who was naturally a 7" and got a 24cm implant, I don't know how this works but I assume the surgeon measured it correctly and for whatever reason the length from your glans to the spot they use below your pubic bone happens to measure that way. Why? I dunno, body types I guess. Or maybe they were 7" in their 20s but before getting the implant that didn't recover any of their size lost by years of ED? Or I do seem to recall a while ago that people here often said it depended a lot on which surgeon and stuff about being sized aggressively. That's probably true to some degree, but what do I know. I don't think it works to view implant size as directly related to your maximum size, but I don't know all the reasons why if that is correct.

If any of it is due to my recovery process I have been very aggressive and consistent with cycling. Been using a VED every day several times a day, bought a Bathmate 4 months in and used it often for 8 months total until I broke it, doing Perito's exercises as well as lots of bending and stretching and masturbating, etc. I don't wear pants at home and spend more time than normal messing around with my dick because I also have more free time than most people as well as an obsessive personality. Good not having a roommate! Though tbh I don't think this much work is even required. All the studies seem to report men using a VED for just 5 or maybe up to 30 minutes a day is good enough.

These are just my best guesses. And for full disclosure my album confirms I can get my stretched flaccid at 9.5" (can get a bit higher too, and I have wondered myself how that's possible with a 24cm (9.45") implant). I'm also happy that with inflation only and no arousal I am right at 9" or a bit over just about every time (come on, who can judge me for loving that? ). I've measured myself fully pumped and aroused at 9.5" or a very slight bit over also, but don't have any pics confirming it, cause that's like really hard psychologically. To know you're trying to make an impressive measurement is the easiest and quickest mood killerl!!!!

But yeah, I dunno. I suppose I got a 24cm implant and now have a dick that can get up to about 9.5" cause I was super lucky to be born long before, and I'm still super lucky in a lot of other ways too (even though I deserve almost none of them).

Well, only because I thought about it and this is supposed to be "Frank" talk...don't ever forget that if a man shows you a picture confirming that his penis is 9.5" long, that does not make it an undeniable fact that his penis is, in fact, 9.5" long. What I mean by that is my measurements are true; I'm trying my best to make them authentic and I'm not cheating or lying. It's a real ruler and I'm making contact at pubic bone and my shaft too. But for one I recently realized that if you're standing straight up it takes away a good bit of size. So bending over just a little helps. And there's always little things like the angle in which the camera is pointing.

My point is I can measure my dick at 9.5" and I can prove it!!!! But I'm also a man, and it's about my dick, so don't forget your grains of salt.
