TOPIC: This has been quite the mind f***

Had my first PMMA procedure 3/19/24 and was elated with the results. Went from 5" EG to 6 1/8 and held that number for atleast 6 weeks. Flaccid was 5.75 consistently also. Over the past month I've steadily decreased to 5 5 ish EG and 5.25 FG. The swelling was nice while it lasted now I miss it. Even though I'm at a .5 gain it looks and feels like I'm back to pre PMMA again. Initially my goal was 6 25 EG but now I think the long term goal is to have a minimum 6" to 6.25" FG. I'm 6'1 280 and it just looks so much better with a FG that size. Never thought I'd care about FG as much as my EG but since I lost it I want it back. I'm booked on 7/3 with Avanti for another round. If I had to guess this is going to be a 4 round process which I'm absolutely prepared for. I knew this was to be expected I just didn't realize how much it would suck to lose that post treatment swelling.

You were posting about collagen promoting peptides before, what was your aftercare like?

I've got my first round scheduled for the day after your 2nd, so I don't have personal experience, but those early swollen weeks seem like the thing that everyone wanting multiple rounds use as a "sneak preview". So you don't necessarily have to think of it as a loss...

12,000mg Youtheory collagen. & BPC 157 for two months. This time I'm switching to collagen peptide powder , BPC 157 along with the GGK-CU Peptide I spoke about in the post you're referring to. A collagen rich diet wouldn't hurt either I'm sure.

I agree with the way you look at it. Hopefully it's an obtainable goal.

I can hit 6" with a constriction ring so the EG loss has been tolerable atleast lol

I'm staying at the Grand, if you're staying I'm sure our paths will cross. Also, if you're staying at the Grand and like breakfast be sure to visit the buffet, it's unreal. (Assuming you're going to Avanti)

Volttzz,

Go ahead and buy a few “clone a Willy” kits on Amazon and start making pre appt molds. I really wish I had done it before I started. Pics and tale of the tape help, but a mold you can hold, look at from different angles and hold up against the new you is priceless. I didn’t see your EL but when you get into 6x6 and above you will need two kits per mold.

Considering what we spend on this procedure a couple hundred to have the progress saved for posterity is a drop in the bucket.

Mine was after, but being able to see it from angles that YOU can’t see is really enlightening ,

Taken a step further. I could see where it might guide you if there is an area you want to address when Erect , hell being able to go into avant, whip out your mold and say “ here it is hard, I want more , here, here, and here” .

We get used to what we are seeing over time. Someone parks a tank in the parking lot, everyone notices for the first couple of weeks…. Then it fades in to the background.

Here’s one I did before realizing I’d need two kits per mold so had to push the vibrator farther down to stabilize the mold, also I pulled it out of the mold before 24 hours of setting so it has some rougher edges, two kits, following the instructions , and taking your time would result in a better mold, but you can see how even being able to get a good side look can help

This is a great idea, I wish I had of thought of this before I started.

A possible option to get around the "buy 2 kits to have enough silicone" problem is to get a 2lb silicone kit from SmoothOn and probably some more alginate (for multiple casting attempts, if needed). The tube the kit comes with is a useful mold base though.

Hey voltz. This stuff is really a mind fucked you get use to the si,e then it gets smaller it really sucks but more rounds then

How many CC’s of 30% and 10% did you get for Round 1?

That's a brilliant idea and I see your point with the tank analogy. I just hope I can get to the point where I'm truly happy.i already moved the goal post from a goal of 6.25 EG to 6.75 after seeing what 6.25 looked like for the weeks I was still swollen. I lived with feeling so inadequate for 45 years. Even after digging into it and reading repeatedly that I was above average didn't help. It's a mental hurdle I know I need to get over.

what toys for pumping do you reccomend or do you use? if you have links to it, appreciate it. Pumping toys really work?

I don’t pump as I’ve been advised it will accelerate the breakdown and absorption of HA.
