Which I thought was decent because I was 7 inches before surgery. They deflated it a bit to what they say is about 60% before I left the hospital and today they changed the wrap and it's down to 5 inches now. I have the ams 700 lgx at 21cm+1cm rte. If I inflate it back to 100% is it going to be 6 inches again or am I looking at a 2inch loss here? Anyone with the ams 700 lgx, how much length comes out in the last 30-40% of pumping? Honestly I'd be really happy if I saw 6.5 inches after a few months of cycling. How likely is that to happen?
First of all, congratulations on a successful surgery. May God bless you with a smooth recovery and many stress-free, enjoyable moments ahead.Second… welcome to the bionic club Don’t panic about the “smaller bird” phase at least it’s going to work nonstop, lol. Just kidding.Early measurements don’t mean much. Swelling, deflation, wraps, and healing all mess with length in the first weeks. My own surgeon already warned me not to obsess over size early on (which killed my joy a bit, lol), but from everything I’ve read here, there’s still room to regain some length with proper healing and cycling.
Honestly, right now size should be the last thing on your mind. Focus on recovery first. I’m a little over 20 days post-op myself, and I still have strong pain that comes and goes, so this phase is all about patience.
Once cycling starts and the healing settles, we’ll have plenty of time to worry or laugh about that inch we think we lost
