TOPIC: Edupd's Progress Report

@edupd Echo briceb.

So, on eighth day I finally got a chance to try things out. I\'ve been with the same gal for nearly 15 years and she actually doesn\'t know I had this done. Timing-wise things worked out and I was totally healed of any bruising before she was able to see it in the light.

Being keen to spot a difference, I was quite certain I could sense things being a little tighter when pushed in beyond the half way mark where things start to increase into the 5.5+\" territory. It was definitely a more pronounced squeezing sensation whenever she\'d get excited and clamp down indicating to me that I\'m now \"taking up more room\", but still not quite there yet.

Although she didn\'t mention anything there were a few more audible \"oofs\" than is usual and she did indicate that she felt \"split wide open\" afterwards. Also, what was notably absent were the frequent burps of air that would be forced out which is a good indication of a more air-tight fit.

It may be only a 1/3\" larger but it\'s made a notable difference so far. This morning we were just lounging in bed before getting up and I had morning wood in addition to us getting frisky so I was about a big as I was going to get at the moment. She was giving it a real good look and I had a flush of panic come over me thinking she was going to figure things out all of the sudden. But after a good 10 seconds of eying it up she just grabbed hold and jumped on. Whew!

So, if she\'s perceptive enough to hesitate but doesn\'t notice enough difference to comment then that tells me the esthetics must be pretty darn good considering the 1000s of times she\'s seen it previously. It also tells me I\'ve got a ways to go yet.

It will be interesting to see how things go. It seems like you are currently at your low point so now she will see it gradually increase in size. Let us know her reaction as time goes by.

@edupd
You and I are apparently in almost the same situation at a similar stage of recovery, my injections were on July 21st. The lady I\'ve known for about as long as you also wasn\'t so informed. I did tell her however that I have been taking supplement pills which are said to affect the libido and erections. I also said that some are rumored to actually reboot hormones which can lead to slight changes in size.
You have to prepare her to somehow cope with the day when she has to ask \"what the frack is happening?!?\" or else deal with it some other way, coming clean to see her reaction. I\'d however advise against that. I recently told a woman I cared for dearly that I had had several surgical interventions, not specifically mentioning PE. After a year of sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings, she broke off our friendship entirely saying \"I don\'t feel comfortable\".

I\'ll likely just tell her it\'s manual PE if she ever asks, however she\'s always had this notion that my penis size is directly related to how turned on I am, so she may also just attribute it to an increased libido. We\'ll see.

It\'s not so much the operation that would floor her but the lengths I went to have it done (flying to SD). She\'s probably spent over $7k in a multitude of rejuvenation procedures but they\'ve all been done locally.

@edupd
Thanks for mentioning that here. The lady I\'ve been with since getting extra Girth also reacted that way, and I think that she was wooed at first thinking I must be extra turned on. After all size does change somewhat depending on the intensity of an Erection and it\'s all bloodflow entrapped in cavernous bodies. So it only makes sense to connect excitement and desire with larger hard-ons so this is definitely one thing which can be argued with a pretty lady:
\"I only get HUGE when it\'s you!\" looool
By the way, if the cat ever gets out of the bag, you can ask her if she would have traveled if her own treatments were only available far away? Yet I wouldn\'t advocate coming clean lightly, I just got dumped by a woman I love for telling her I had procedures done, and I didn\'t even allude to Phalloplasty.

Session 1 +21 days

It\'s now been three weeks and I\'ve continued to see collagen growth from about the 2 week mark. However, with that growth has come the unavoidable inconsistencies that everyone else seems to experience to one degree or another.

I have developed ridges on both the right and left sides of the base that start on the sides and run around the back following the crease that forms while Flaccid. These ridges have grown to about a 1/4\" higher than adjacent areas and continue to grow. These are what I believe someone else has termed the \"pockets\" at the base that are filled downwards from the injection line, and it was these pockets that got rather swollen during my long plane ride home on day +2 where I couldn\'t massage for about 6 hours while stuck in the seated position. I\'ll need the areas both above and below this ridge filled in during session 2 for sure.

I\'ve also developed a slight ridge on the top of the shaft about 2.5\" from the base. Actually, from the base up to this ridge I have been developing collagen rather rapidly over the past 4-5 days so my hope is that this may even out some as the rest of the PMMA is encapsulated in collagen over the next few weeks. If not then I\'ll need some touch-up above the 2.5\" mark to smooth things out.

Beyond those two things there are no other areas of great concern, but I will need some touch ups down the full length of the shaft on either side to get things symmetrical. The left is slightly concave while the right is convex to a certain degree, but this a pre-existing condition that was just made more prominent during session 1.

I\'m starting to think about when to schedule session 2 and I think I\'m going to give it a full 8 weeks as I likely won\'t have the time to get away at the 6 week mark and the extra time would probably be preferable to let things settle a little more.

Great update, i hope my 1st round comes out similar to you. great gains so far

edupd I\'m a few days behind you but my results seem really close to yours, I was just noticing the ridges at the base becoming more and more prominent as well, do you notice it Erect as well?

Yes, actually when Flaccid you can hardly tell because they fold into the crease between the penis and the scrotum. It\'s when I\'m Erect that they become very visible.

Just a quick update at +26 days...

I\'m beginning to wonder if the rapid development of collagen actually causes some brief swelling to occur. Just over the past couple of days I was pretty sure I was losing Girth and sure enough, I\'ve dropped an 1/8\" at the mid-shaft and almost a 1/4\" at the base. It\'s beginning to feel less \"doughy\" and what bumps and ridges were there last week are now more clearly defined. I believe that the new swelling that came with the collagen gain 7-10 days ago was probably helping to conceal the anomalies that have recently formed.

The horizontal ridge across the top at mid-shaft have settled into 3 separate lumps about the 3/16\" long and 1/8\" in diameter. They all seem to be running horizontally across the shaft and are somewhat randomly situated. You can\'t see them at all while Flaccid and are barely visible while Erect but you can definitely feel them under the surface.

The only change with the large ridges at the base is that they are more defined as all swelling has completely dissipated again.

I will definitely need some clean up of these areas during the second session.

@ Edup

Great numbers Edup an I agree with EP 8 weeks or more is a good gap to leave. I take it you had 10% as well? your numbers compare well to the 20% guys!

Would you be prepared to post photos of the lumps? I know some people are reluctant to post photos and totally respect their right to do so, but I\'d really urge anyone with slight irregularities to post photos if at all possible, as it would be so useful for others who experience the same in the future.

So far EP is the only guy who has posted a photo showing a lump, but I know there have been a few other guys reporting them.

@edupd

I agree with hoddle10. Not only does posting pics present members and guests with a visual aid demonstrating different types of cosmetic/aesthetic imperfections but also provides Dr. Casavantes\'s team with a photograph to compare with preoperative pics. If memory serves, they are aware of PhalloBoards and likewise benefit from patients sharing their results, recovery and complications. If you choose not to post, I completely understand and respect your privacy. Congratulations on you procedure edupd! I\'m confident it will turn out to be everything you hoped for! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

Have you hugged your Avatar today?

Yeah, I should at least post pictures of this I suppose. I spent about 20 minutes this morning massaging the top of the shaft and the lumps were significantly reduced though they did partially return by this evening. I\'ll just keep at it and see what happens. It would seem that the PMMA and/or collagen is still dynamic at this point, however I attempted to do the same to the ridges at the base and they definitely weren\'t going anywhere.
