Are you supposed to be trying to inflate this soon? 

Quote from: Kiwisurfer on June 01, 2024, 06:28:42 AMCurrently at 55% to the left. He has recommended the nesbit procedure in a few months time. Needless to say like the rest of us I am nervous about selecting the correct surgeon.

I assume you mean 55 degrees curvature. And I have never heard of anyone developing a curve due to a prostatectomy. Perhaps Dr. Ralph is familiar and comfortable with the Nesbit procedure. 55 Degrees is tough to correct with Nesbit. There are other procedures I would investigate to correct that severe of a curve. Excision and grafting is an example.

Thank you so much everyone for your support and words of wisdom! It helps so much to read your posts.

Day 3

I have now gotten the hang of pumping and deflating the implant. Pain is around a 5/10 when I have it inflated a decent amount and around a 2/10 when I have it ~ 20% inflated. I now have the ability to hide my penis in my waistband if I want to go outside.

I am excited to get the drainage tube removed on monday and continue on this MARATHON.

The make up pads on the Amazon link are different now. They are a triangle shape. Do you think those will still be good?

Also, you can disregard the question I had about wrapping twice.

I'll take a look. Thanks

I actually reread through the Restorex manual and realized the clamp is supposed to sit right after the ridge of the glans. This has been very uncomfortable when trying so far.

I'll have to experiment more though.

Congrats on having the procedure done! It takes a lot of courage. But you are still healing and so fresh into recovery. Please stay calm. You are in amazing hands with Dr. Hakky!

You will have to physically and mentally adjust to a "new penis" and that will take time. I don't have an implant but i can tell you that the tips being like that is a good thing. That means the implant has been properly sized. You can take cialis before sex or even MUSE tablets throught the glans if you are concerned about your glans not filling up. Please are different and not everybody gets an engorged glans after this procedure. But again... stay calm for now and focus on healing. Follow all his instructions to a T!

Please stay with us, and try to read the diaries from other implantees on the board.

Hey CalmnCool:

Please have a look at my diary. I went through the same struggle. I have pictures and detailed accounts of what i went through.

I am currently not doing traction but at the time, there were a few things that worked for me.

Where did you purchase the second base and set of rods?

So do you think I should work on the side curve for the first 3 months and than do traction on the upward curve after that?

Hey Roddy!

Thank you for checking in, despite not having done so in a long time. In the past i would feel somewhat sad that the members would sort of, not stick around.... but as time went by i understood that, that's actually the way to go. You come by, you get support and hopefully you will find success in treating your disease whilst sharing your progress with us as you encourage other members.

You did just that. Explained in detail what you went through and showed others where they could get support as well. I commend you for that. Now you get to enjoy, and distance yourself mentally from those dark days you went through.

Thank you, and all the best!

Hi everyone.

Today is my 5 year anniversary of my Impant Surgery. I'm sorry to report that I rarely check in at all on the forum anymore but it struck me just now, when I saw the date today, that I could give many men the hope they search for by logging in and sharing that I've had 5 years of complete success from my implant. It was and still is entirely life changing. Like many on here, I was in a very dark place with an unusable penis (downward 90 degree bend that made penetration impossible) until I had nothing to lose and agreed to surgery here on the NHS in the UK (Glasgow, Scotland). My recovery from the surgery was painful and difficult, physically and emotionally (all documented in this journal), but through the strength of many on this forum, I kept positive and the outcome from 4 weeks onwards was unbelievable - and still is. If anyone ever needs any advice, I'm contactable still as the forum sends me an email when anyone sends me a message.

Take care,

Roddy
