Hey, all. I know I owe an update, but my family and in-laws surprised my wife and I for the holidays... between showing them around town and all, I haven't exactly managed to fit in the time to have a bunch of carefully-groomed dickpics up on my computer screen to upload for you folks.
Know that all is going well. The little bit of pain I did have is all but gone. Itchiness from healing is noticeable from time to time, and soreness after I've been in one position for too long (laying for sleep, sitting for work). I started
Hanging with their provided 9oz kit (AutoExtender AutoXleeve) as soon as I had removed the Iodine wrapping (1 week post-op). I bought the 14oz weight from the AutoExtender website and have been using that for about a day. Honestly, this is the most comfortable ADS I've ever used.
My only gripe so far is swelling. My scrotum is still swollen and containing fluid. It goes down day to day, but is still much larger than normal. This makes pissing while going #2 a bit of an art. No infection, and my wife (medical background, though not
Urology) says all looks normal. This swelling is especially noticeable at the end of a day of sitting upright/standing. The fluid also makes its way into my
Foreskin, but this is alleviated by wearing the stretcher. It almost looks like the inner-tube effect some notice after they go a bit too hard with pumping.
Now that all of the gauze/etc is off, and my drain is out... all that's left is to have my wife remove my staples in about a week. I can safely say that I enjoy the new length: just how it sits is an improvement. No more
Turtling. No more excessive
Foreskin/fupa tucking it away. I honestly have yet to measure, so expect numbers in the future update after the New Year, but mentally this surgery has already been well worth it to me, even if I gained fuck-all and it's just the 'perception of length' due to FUPA
Removal.
I am still leaning towards likely getting the excess skin on my scrotum (scrotoplasty) l looked at at a later date, to further improve the 'perception of length' from the other end... and I feel like
Girth fillers might be on the menu as well. That said, I promised my wife (and myself) that I'd fully recover before making a determination. Right now, my
Dick is still beaten up, and not at all indicative of what it'll look like 3-4 months from now.
Happy Holidays!
