Well, it has officially been about a month since the procedure. (I wanted to wait a full month before I got on this board again after the procedure...it\'s been tough and I almost made it!) Everything has been going pretty well. Here is a summary of my experience...
Made it to Tijuana on Wednesday afternoon (1/7). My procedure was set for the next day at 4pm. I planned on getting a workout in and getting some work done, but I was so excited I just ended up watching movies in the hotel room and ordering room service (stayed at the Marriott down the road). I pretty much didn\'t leave my room for over 24 hours and felt great about it.
Went in for the procedure. Everyone was really great. Sat down with Wade and Dr. C before the procedure and chatted with them for a while and told them I wanted only 10% and aesthetics and safety were my top priorities....over massive gains. I have a wife at home who didn\'t know I was getting this done....more on that in a minute.
I opted out of the Ativan(?) before the procedure and it was finally go time! Everything was going fine during the procedure until I looked down and saw blood coming out of my
Dick. I started feeling a little queasy. Then I started feeling REALLY queasy. I have passed out a couple of times before, and I knew that I was well on the road to passing out again. I think Dr. C and Wade realized this, and they asked me how I was doing. I said not good, and they instantly stopped what they were doing, put me upright, gave me an Ativan and an apple juice. We took about a 20 minute break...enough time for the Ativan to kick in and to regain my composure. It definitely helped. It was amazing how quickly they reacted to this. I thought maybe this had happened quite a bit and that is why they reacted the way they did, but after we started again I asked them if anyone has ever passed out during this procedure and they said no. So maybe it didn\'t happen very often! I was close to passing out though. I would say had we not stopped it would have only been a couple of minutes before I did.
Anyway, back to the procedure. They finished up and everything went fine. Dr. C recommended doing 30% at the base, and I was pretty adamant on the 10% only, but he said he really recommended it, and the Ativan was settling in pretty good at this point, and I said do whatever you think.
Anyway, procedure was complete. We were doing some post-procedure photos, and I couldn\'t stop shaking. I mean I was shaking uncontrollable. I felt fine though, but just couldn\'t stop shaking. My entire body. After they were sure that I was fine, Christian was laughing quite a bit while trying to take the pics. Wade thought that maybe i was a little bit hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). I hadn\'t eaten since about 11am that day, and it was now about 5:30pm. I recommend to anyone to eat before the procedure if you have any issues with that!
Back at the hotel, I tried to follow the post op procedures very closely. Nothing hurt, and surprisingly, there was hardly any bruising when I first got back. Then I started massaging. I thought I was massaging it fairly aggressively (until I went back to my post-procedure follow up I realized I wasn\'t massaging aggressively at all compared to what Wade did!). Anyway, every 2 hours or so I would massage. Stayed up until 2am, decided to get some sleep and I set my alarm for 4:30am, slept right through that and woke up around 7. So competely slept through alarm. Everything still looked good though and I continued to massage until my post-op followup at 11am. Everything looked pretty good, Wade put me in a little pain with the massaging and then i hopped on a shuttle back to SD airport. Rode on the shuttle with sfdude, who told me he had his procedure done on Tuesday and then stuck around until Friday mostly to let Wade massage it everyday. I wish I had done that!
Anyway, flew home, got home late Friday night and pretty much went to sleep. Like I said, my wife didn\'t know I had this procedure done. Take that however you\'d like, but over the next few days (mostly Saturday & Sunday), I came down with a (fake) \"stomach bug\". So I spent a lot of time in the bathroom that weekend (secretly massaging) and taking care of my junk. Plus, I used that as an excuse to not have any sex. I travel a lot for work, but I didn\'t have any travel planned for the coming week, so I just knew that I had to get through that week without having sex with my wife, and then the following week I was gone the whole week with work. Anyway, long story short I made it through the week without having sex and then I was gone the whole next week with work and it was 2 weeks post op.
I was having issues getting hard during the first 3 weeks post procedure. I got back from my work trip and the wife was ready. We started playing around a little and I couldn\'t get hard. She was giving me a BJ and I still couldn\'t get hard, but she did say, \"wow, it feels like it is thicker!\". I told her it had just been a while since we had sex. I guess she accepted that response. We went another week or so without having any sex (mostly me avoiding it), and then I took a
Cialis - this was last weekend. The erections came back! I told the wife I took a
Cialis - which, as far as she knows, I have never taken one before. We ended up having sex (this was last weekend - first time since the procedure!) and we were both so revved up that we didn\'t need any foreplay. I stuck it in her and I noticed that her eyes got pretty big and she moaned quite a bit to begin with. Much more than pre-procedure. She really seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit! AND, she never mentioned (or maybe realized) that I had anything done!! Maybe she thought it was the
Cialis, because I told her I bought a bunch of
Cialis and that I heard from some people that it makes your
Dick bigger.
HA! So now I have 40
Cialis that I am going to be taking, and the next 40 times that we have sex it is going to be bigger because of it, and then after 40 it is just going to be the norm and she won\'t remember my old
Dick! I\'m hoping this works.
I know I am writing a novel, but this is a month worth of not getting on this board or talking to anyone about this coming out. Alright, to the gains. All of the swelling has gone away obviously, and I am thinking I might be pretty much where I am at now might be pretty close to final results? Not sure, I have heard plently of people say it could change up to 3, potentially even 4 months after the procedure. But currently I am at 5 in. EG at the base and mid-shaft, and 4.8ish under the glans. I started at 4.5 at the base and mishaft and 4.25 under the glans, so I have seen 1/2\" gains all around.Honestly, considering I did almost all 10% and was mostly concerned about aesthetics and safetly, I am very happy with those gains. Speaking of aesthetics, in a
Flaccid state, it is obviously much bigger. The
PMMA is not allowing me to turtle, which is nice. However, it doesn\'t look completely natural. I have low spots and high spots. Not sure if anyone would notice (no one has seen it
Flaccid since the procedure), but I can surely tell.
Erect it looks pretty damn good. There is a small ridge by the circ line, but I believe that was pretty much to be expected after round 1. It looks pretty damn good
Erect, and it is ROCK SOLID....which is nice. I have lost about 3/4\" in length.I\'m at work right now, so I can\'t post pics, but I will post pics in the next 24 hours or so. Overall, I am very happy with my results. I do have a
Nodule near an entry point, but it\'s not huge or anything and hardly noticeable if you didn\'t know it was there. Hoping that just magically disappears one of these days.
Hey, I have said it before and I will say it again, thanks to everyone on this board. I would have never known about this procedure (probably) if I hadn\'t found this board, and I surely would have freaked out (more than I did) over the past month with all the highs and lows since the procedure. So, thank you all! Now that I have made it a month, I will get back to the board on a regular basis. Pics coming soon.Scoobs
