Recently implanted, question

[JustAGuy2020]

Hi everyone, I received grafting revision surgery along with an implant (Titan 20cm) with Dr. Levine on 9/23/21.  My operation was subcoronal due to the grafting repairs that needed to be done.  I am healing well and visiting Dr Levine's office this week for activation / training so that I can start cycling.  I believe they had me wait 6 weeks to allow the degloving incision to heal fully (which it has).

My question is:  the pump seems hard as a rock, is this normal and is there something specific they do to "activate" it? As they instructed, I have not done anything other than feel around and try to start understanding how it works.  I do have the keychain model of the pump which I am sure will help.

I also have a comment that it is weird to see my wife nude and not have my penis respond at all.  I will get used to that but seems strange after a lifetime of "quick response" so to speak.

I have to assume it was not responding much before, or you would not have an implant. -  Trust me.  In a few more weeks, when you see her nude and your mind responds, your penis will respond to the fluid that rushes into it, and she will respond to your unstoppable penis.  The only difference is your hand will pump the fluid rather than your heart.

As far as the pump is concerned, they do nothing to the pump. What you feel is what you have got.  They will simply show you how to work it.  A Titan pump is very stiff when new, and it is always firm.  While it does loosen up, some of that is simply that you heal, and the required firm squeeze is not uncomfortable.

  This could be the selling point of all implant infomercials!

Thanks guys. Hawk - yes I had some ED issues after my first incision/grafting surgery and Dr Levine advised me that it would be a big risk of total ED if I had the revision surgery without going ahead with the implant, so here I am.  I am happy with the results so far and really appreciate all the support from this forum.

Hi Justaguy

Yes, I agree, the pump ball is very hard and you definitely wonder how on earth you will manage to squeeze that. I recall the first few times was very confusing and quite demanding but when you quickly work it all out, you'll never look back.

I must say that after 2 and a half years of using my implant, pumping up is still way more simple than deflating - that can still require a little more effort. Good to know these things now.

In time, your penis head may well start to fill with blood when you see your wife naked or have erotic thoughts, and that feels exactly the same as it did prior to your whole experience. You will get that tingle of excitement. It's just that now, as Hawk says, your chambers fill with fluid rather than blood, and this can provide you with the hardest dick you've ever had - well, since your teenage years anyway.

Good luck!

Roddy

Thanks everyone, I don't know where I would be without this forum and modern medicine!
