TOPIC: Winman36's PMMA Journal-Intro and Day -1

Restoration - Mine was constrained to the left side for whatever reason, but that is similar to what it looked like. Yes, the sleeve helped, but massage on day 4 and 5 probably didn\'t. Made me feel better, though to move a little water around, though. The stretcher may be uncomfortable, but I am going to get one prior to my second procedure. What I noticed was that once I returned to my \"no swelling\" length, the collagen ingrowth tended to grow appropriate to that length, which means a it has to stretch with an Erection. Collagen is not as flexible as the other tissues, so this creates a noticeable drop off in Girth as you approach the glans. I think it is best to keep your penis as close to your Erect length as possible for as many hours a day as you can stand while the collagen is coming in to ensure that your Dick stays relatively uniform in its Girth. I will also be investing in viagra or Cialis so that I can have a sustained Erection to massage against for the second procedure. The whole point of this is to have a bigger Erect penis, after all, isn\'t it?

I wish Wade had been more assertive in explaining that, but not matter. I guess I\'ll just have to go back for the second treatment I was trying to avoid after all.

On a positive note, my Girth is steady at 5\" Flaccid after only 2 weeks. I don\'t feel any water, so that should all be collagen and permanent (crossed fingers). That may not sound impressive on this site, but it\'s nearly an Inch improvement over my pre-procedure Flaccid number and still a few weeks to go on possible growth.

As far as telling my girlfriend: while this is a private matter, I am both confident that she and I are headed towards a more permanent arrangement and that I have as many secrets of hers as she has of mine, so that particular war would produce a lot of casualties and I could just say I had to do it to recover from a war injury (using her revelation against her to acquire \"pity pussy\", as it were).

Yeah, I agree. Wade said try to stretch for up to 6 weeks as much as you can I have the ESL40 on now - I can\'t use my normal one cuz it has the \"noose\" which will cause a dent. It\'s not pulling me to the Erect length because they just want to prevent retraction now in my case. If you\'re more of a show-er then maybe you can pull on it more. I\'m not even sure I can even stretch to my EL right now due to the swelling. I\'ll try to do this for weeks 2-6 per your point...since that\'ll be more for the growth period.

I took a half 20mg Cialis and nothing happened...same w/ another member here who\'s journal i was reading. Viagra gave me an Erection (on top of Cialis - day 2 though, but still active) at 50mg - but only a semi - and only for 10 min or so. The blood and the bruising and remembering I\'m supposed to palpate for lumps ed it pretty easily. Other guys here have had better luck. I think once the swelling and blood and bruising are gone, I will be ok in terms of EQ...but now - not good.

Could you have stretched to your \"no swelling length\"? I am down about an Inch... it\'s just not going any further...which sounds pretty normal (for day 1) and should come back. My size came back over a 4 month period after my other surgery...w some traction but not much traction. We broke up the clumps near the base.

You realize Cialis isn\'t meant to give you erections right? It\'s not like Viagra. With Cialis the penis still needs to be stimulated in order to achieve an Erection, only it does so much more easily. But if you just swallow a pill and wait for en Erection to appear, nothing will happen.

I\'m not sure if I could have stretched to the same length as without swelling right after surgery, but I\'m sure I could have for short periods within a day or two.

Update for this week. I have one Nodule, a little smaller than a bibi, near the circ scar on the left side. That\'s an unfortunate location, because it\'s close to a depression that needs to be filled.

To summarize: The Nodule mentioned above, plus filling the depression on the left side, the area directly behind the glans and the space between the base and the thick portion above the circ scar on the right side. In addition, although my base is now a whopping 6.5\" Girth, it narrows right behind that. If Dr. C can plus that up a little, I\'ll be doing good. Otherwise, without hair, the difference can be seen. Not a cool visual.

I suppose all this isn\'t bad, although I\'m still disappointed at having to return. My plan to be a one-shot hero was a no-go. Everyone else planned on a second or third trip, so I guess I shouldn\'t have been so hard-headed, but...whatever. The collagen growth I\'ve experienced so far places me at my goal of 5.5 Girth mid shaft, with the areas I mention above falling a little shy of that, so with some fill up, this should be the last go-round.
