I had my surgery this past Thursday, making this Day 5 with the implant. As my handle suggests, I flew into LA from the opposite coast and had my consultation a day before the surgery was scheduled. I found Elist to be affable and professional, and he answered all of my questions thoroughly. My wife and I didn\'t care for his approach when it came to signing and initialling disclosures (he tried to rush us through it, although we wouldn\'t let him). He took some pre-op pics of my penis along with
Flaccid measurements (3.5\" length, 4\"
Girth). At full
Erection my length is around 5.5\" length and 4.5
Girth. Elist felt I should go with the large size. Not wanting to push my luck and risk complications, I agreed. After the consultation, we went to the pharmacy across the street to pick up anti-biotics, pain meds and an anti-septic soap.
A little background about me: overall I\'ve been relatively confident and satisfied with my sexual equipment, especially where I\'ve found technique to be a valuable asset. My penis was always sufficient (especially in my marriage with my passionate wife), but I occasionally found myself wondering how much more I could potentially satisfy her with more
Girth. I researched various methods available, scanned many threads on the previous version of this forum, and didn\'t bother much with MNS (finding the descriptions of it to be quite accurate). Although I found MNS and the shills attempting to troll on here to be shady as well as the complications threads to be informative/concerning, I recall coming across several threads that made the implant feel like the right choice (not to mention, I liked the implant having FDA approval and found Elist\'s credentials.to be impressive).
The surgery went relatively smoothly. It took me awhile before I was able to urinate, which was required for my release. I was pleased to note my wrapped post-op
Dick looked much thicker at the base (I discounted the thickness of the shaft with the bandages), and the length was much increased. I don\'t recall being in much pain at this point, probably due to the lingering effects of the anesthesia (probably misspelled that). My wife had to help me get dressed, a nurse wheeled me to the car and my wife drove us back to the hotel. I immediately stripped down to the bandages and drainage apparatus, got in bed, took the pain pill as well as the anti-biotics and wolfed down a chef\'s salad with olive oil (the olive oil as recommended by Elist to encourage bowel movement). Recalling a previous poster\'s experience with pissing, I opted to use the bathtub. My penis protruded outwards at about a 35 degree angle, and my trips to the bathtub (frequent due to 2 IV bags) went as follows: my wife helped me literally slide out of bed (extremely difficult and painful) and I would slowly shuffle from side to side (as my immensely-swollen
Balls were making it difficult to walk). Sleep was on and off throughout the night, especially where I was anxious that I would roll over on my
Dick (I didn\'t). My
Dick remained at a 35 degree angle, although it gradually began drooping leftwards when laying down. I don\'t recall any erections occurring that night or the next morning.
On Day 2, we went back to his office for a follow-up. Upon unwrapping my
Dick, I could see the right side of the shaft protruding slightly beyond the glans. The glans was slightly smaller than usual, the shaft overall nice and thick. Elist instructed us on wrapping as he re-wrapped my penis, answered more questions we had and introduced us to a medical assistant that was to be my post-op liason. We went back to the hotel, and that night went much as the previous night. I awoke several times with erections that were extremely painful (as the skin was being stretched to the max), despite the Advil PM I was told would quell them. Day 3, we went out to pick up some loose-fitting sweatpants for the upcoming few weeks. I felt slightly stronger that day and my glans appeared larger than the day before, but felt my abdomen becoming increasingly sore (probably because of the drainge tube), my thighs weak when trying to walk or get out of bed, my 35 degree angle penis protruding and my
Balls swollen and achy. I spoke with my liason, who answered some questions and said he would call the next day. Day 4 was uneventful with our return back to the East Coast, and I spoke with the liason upon getting home. He said I could remove the drainage tube the next day, and resume the wrapping routine. So far, so good. It\'s difficult even being affectionate with my wife, as I\'m accustomed to twice-daily sex. If my lips linger for too long on any part of her face, I\'ll typically experience an extremely painful
Erection. We\'re playing it safe, and keeping it as platonic as possible!
Approaching the end of Week 1, I\'ll sign off here. More updates towards the end of Week 2.
