FYI, if you are going to have this op I strongly recommend that you either have a short plane ride home or stay and recuperate in the city where you have it done. It was very uncomfortable, especially since we had to change planes in transit and the whole urination thing in the airplane toilet was not too much fun. It was a joy to get home, lie down and take some serious drugs and say bye bye to reality for a while
Post op I forgot to mention there is also attached to my belly a thing called a "painbuster" (™ presumably) which drip feeds much needed painkilling meds directly into the wound via 2 catheters. These catheters get removed about 48 hours or so, post op, by yours truly. Its a bit scary watching these as you draw them out of your skin, but don't worry, there's no pain and its sort of interesting - but make sure you go very carefully and slowly as you do so.
Oh yeah, the medications :) Duo Augmentin (hardcore anti-biotic), Cephalex (soft-core anti-biotic), Xanax (anti-anxiety drug with an anti-erection side effect - an erection would be a Very Bad Thing at this point), Paracetemol/Codeine and Mersyndol Forte for moderate pain relief, Temazepan (for sleep), Nizoral (anti-fungal, like the hair shampoo but in strong tablet form) and Prednisone (anti-inflammatory steroid). I got quite a nice buzz off the Panadeine/Xanax combo but I'm being good and sticking to the regime despite the temptation to over-indulge.
OK, so at this point (in this retrospective account) I'm lying in my hospital bed a couple of hours after surgery, generally wide awake but with a pretty decent buzz going from the various drugs that have been passing through my system. My wife is with me and I'm feeling somewhat shaken by the whole thing as you might imagine.
What's happened while I was under the knife ? Well, as far as I understand it, the surgeon has made an incision across my lower abdomen from hip-bone to hip-bone, at precisely the "crease line" that's created when you sit down and lean forwards. This is so that when the scar eventually heals its even less obvious that a scar even exists at all. Via this incision the surgeon has removed a layer of fat for the "deermal fat grafting" aspect of the operation. Consequently I have a dressing across my lower abdomen from hip to hip and covering the region between my belly button and above my pubic bone.
Now, I'm not sure how it was done technically, but (as has been mentioned in my earlier entries) the doc has also released the suspensory ligament thus allowing my penis to drop lower. And just as importantly, through some extraordinary surgical magic that I still don't understand, he has effectively wrapped the body of my (now slightly longer) penis with the fat that was removed from my abdomen. Apparently this fat is more fibrous and remains in one piece, compared to the fat that is injected using the older surgical techniques and results in a smoother, consistent and permanent increase in width across the full length and diameter of the penis shaft.
As you can imagine this involves a certain degree of trauma to the relevant areas and so clearly there is some amount of pain involved. The penis itself surprisingly is not wrapped in a dressing ! But I gotta tell you that it is swollen and bruised as you might well expect and my balls fucking hurt: they feel like they were nailed to the operating table whilst all the other terrible things were done to my penis. The muscles where my thighs join my groin hurt like hell and getting out of the hospital bed to take a leak is a painful, shaky and not pleasant experience but I would guess that it hurts a lot less than the post-operative outcomes for other types of surgery that people undergo as a matter of course, so I'm not complaining too loudly.
Urinating. Ahuh, that is tough - it sprays every which way despite my best efforts and my thigh muscles hurt but there is no actual pain during urination (i.e. no "pissing razorblades" to worry about, at least in my case anyway.)
And yeah, of course, the penis is longer and fatter etc etc (rather impressive really! haha) but this is mostly post-op swelling and there's a long many months ahead to get through yet, during which there will be some contraction, then some stretching and lengthening again, but more on that later.
[In case you're interested, today is actually Day 8 Post Op in "real time" and things are going OK. I'll try and catch up the lag between blog time and real time in the coming days]
Cold. Pain. Fear. Wrapped in a foil blanket and being asked how I feel and if there's any pain. Yes, there is, but not so bad. Adrienne zaps Pethadine in my IV and things get a bit fuzzier again. The surgeon comes by, smiling, I ask how we went and he tells me it went very well indeed, so I feel pretty re-assured by that. He's the Man. Vague out for a bit and catch the Pethadine express up to my room on the trolley and into bed. Beautiful wife waits for me there, thank god. Long scary night ahead for me.
More about the state of my penis outcome later. I guess you'll want to hear details in full. Suffice to say that it is NOT horribly painful and you really don't want to know how difficult it is to piss. Think of a fountain spraying everywhere but in the toilet bowl ! Funny. Kinda.
So, the big day arrives. Admission is at 7am so up early for a shave and shower and get all my gear together for the hospital stay and then into a taxi for a short ride to the airport. This particular taxi driver decided that I had told him the wrong hospital and starts to ask various questions, culminating in the astonishing query "what are you going in for ?" I couldn't believe that someone would ask such a personal question !!! I told him it was none of his fucking business and when we got to the hospital I had to get out of the car and leave my wife to pay the bill because i was so angry that I couldn't speak to the driver.
Inside it was a different story at the Admissions desk of this fairly small private hospital where the staff couldn't do enough to make me feel at home. The male nurse took us upstairs where I was weighed in and then had to answer loads of questions and sign more forms etc, before having to strip off for the delightful experience of being shaved. Shane the nurse was a really wonderful guy and helped me feel not so embarassed as I might have been under the circumstances - he made me feel at least dignified and we had a good laugh. I was a bit annoyed when the hospital porter (ie. the trolley-pusher) came in and stood around having a good look at me lying on the bed being shaved, but whatever, it was all over soon enough.
Now for the scary bit. On with the obligatory attractive hospital gown (ass gaping at the rear of course !), quick walk down the corridor and onto a trolley to be wheeled into the lift and down to the operating theatre waiting area (not sure what the correct named is for that room) where I said goodbye to my lovely wife and lay down under a blanket, behind a screen, listening to the sounds of a surgical procedure getting ready to roll. Various people would magically appear from behind the curtain, ask questions etc and then we were off and rolling into theatre.
Due to childhood traumas that I won't elaborate on here, I find going into theatre a terrifying thing but I overcame the fear mostly due to my trust in the surgeon and the kindness and professionalism of the crew in there. It was cold, blue and bright and after the anaesthetist did his bit with the IV into the top of my hand it was LIGHTS OUT baby......... I never even knew I was going under.
I'm still flat on my back recuperating right now, as per doctor's Standing Orders and my stomach wound is paining me a bit but I'll let you know how things went post-op real soon.
Hey, sorry for the delay in posting but it was a crazy time getting ready to go away for the op. Lots of things to do like work stuff, organizing flights, accommodation, LARGE bank cheques to pay for the anaesthetist and the hospital costs etc. Plus I've been keeping it secret from everyone so a certain amount of caginess and skulduggery was needed :)
So, Tuesday night (Aug 7th) I flew out of town to see the surgeon for a pre-op consult at his rooms, since it had been 18 months since I originally saw him and got up the courage, money and time to do the deed. Consult involved waiting around for some hours in the airport in the early hours of the morning feeling very tired and drinking waaay too much bad coffee and then finally making my way to his consulting rooms for a brief visit.
Sitting in the waiting room I was quite happy until I saw some poor bastard literally hobbling out down the hallway with what was clearly great pain and discomfort in the,um, genital area ;) As you might imagine this left me feeling more than a little bit worried. In fact I felt sick in the stomach, thinking "holy shit what am I letting myself in for here!!!!?"
But I wasn't going to give up now and I'd already paid out a pile of cash so there was no turning back. No big deal really, just a brief chat with the surgeon (who is a really nice guy btw) including a bit of measuring of the todger in its current state with some vernier calipers.
Unfortunately due to scheduling considerations the operation was booked to be performed in a nearby city so it was back to the airport to catch a plane to City No. 2 where I was due to meet my loving wife and continue on to the hotel.
I feel that I should add at his point that I am blessed with an amazing woman for a wife who in no way wants me to have this op but will still support me through it 110% of the way including travelling over with me and re-assuring me that it will all be OK, because in case you're not aware it really is quite scary to think that someone is going to cut your cock to bits and do terrible things to it. I can imagine many of you men out there are crossing your legs at this point in my blog post :)
So, arrive at the Big Smoke, back to the hotel and out for a quick meal (no booze for me! - gotta stay off that shit before and after the op to ensure proper healing, coagulation and liver function.) Back to bed and set the alarm nice and early since we need to get to the hospital for a 7am check-in.
Oh and did I mention that if you are a smoker, you gotta lay off that shit for some time before and after the op? Because if you keep smoking you will probably not have suficient blood flow for a suitable recovery. Basically stop smoking or just don't bother with the op. Anyway your dick might drop off, and thats not a good look on a man.
In my next post I'll talk through the rest of the pre-op stuff at the hospital, which in case it's not obvious, I've already been through the whole procedure and am writing this from my recovery bed at home since before and after the op was just impossible to do. Suffice to say that (a) I am not dead yet and (b) my dick is still attached :P
So it's all booked and paid for! Surgeon booked, hospital booked, anaesthetist, travel, accommodation, etc etc. How much do you suppose all of this costs ? Well, not allowing for any travel and accommodation expenses, for the cost of the medical aspects which consist of surgeon+anaesthetist+hospital+drugs, the cost is something in the vicinity of 21,500 US dollars (in my particular case.) This operation is not actually being performed in the US and I imagine the cost would easily be triple that figure if you were to have this done in the US. Think of the lawyers ! The malpractice insurance ! I'm visualising some guy with a briefcase and a video camera standing in the operating theatre making sure that it's all done properly or at least recorded in the very likely eventuality of a lawsuit. LOL.
On top of that you need to take time off work - 2 weeks minimum, probably 3 weeks or more if you have a physically demanding job. And for 2 weeks immediately afterwards you need to lie flat on your back, leaving your bed only for brief toilet and shower breaks.
Sounds fun eh ? !! Woohoo ! I hope it's all worthwhile.
Yes. I am serious. I'm going to do it. I really am going to trust the surgeon, go under the knife and (drum roll please...) have what is known in medical circles as a "phalloplasty" or, to the rest of you, I am going to have my dick enlarged via cosmetic surgery.
Whoah, I've done it now. Put that in a blog on the interweb so that like 3 people can read it. Well so what. I think it's important to get this information out there. Not only that, I think that this is something of a world first because apart from occasional TV segments, some fairly tacky magazine pieces on the subject (of the FHM/Cosmo variety) and a few rather dubious entries on the many penile enlargement sites on the web, I've never actually seen a genuine first-hand account of one man's personal experience of a penile enlargement operation.
However I'm not doing this blog for notoriety or fame or gain and to be honest I don't actually want any of those things to occur since I want to stay completely private, but what (and more importantly WHO) I am doing this for is you - the person reading this blog who might be considering doing the same thing. If you are contemplating such a serious operation then you need all the information you can get and I hope that what you find in this blog in the coming weeks is of use to you, now and in the future, because in case you're not aware of this fact, let me state it clearly: THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT RIGHT HERE.
Yes. It is. Shall I elaborate on exactly what we are talking about here ? Just what is involved in penile enlargement surgery?
Well let's have a go at explaining what's involved in this kind of surgery. I am not a surgeon and neither am I some sort of expert in human biology/anatomy (and to be honest you can fuck off if you want to pick holes in my technical accuracy), but there are basically two options available to the man who wants to make his dick bigger: lengthening and widening. Well DUH! Fatter and longer, longer and fatter. I think you get the picture.
But how does this work in practice ? As far as the lengthening goes, apparently there is, at the base of the penis (topside, where it joins the pubic area) what is called a "suspensory ligament" that, um, suspends the the penis. However, according to my surgeon this suspensory ligament is something of a hangover from our days of walking on all fours (Creationist Christians can pretty much stop reading at this point I think) wherein we needed to stop our penis from haning directly downwards so as to avoid scraping it on rocks and suchlike so this ligament was kind of handy. I am suspicious of this whole evolutionary argument but equally I don't really give a shit since whatever the reason for its existence genetically, I am assured that technically we don't actually need it and what my surgeon is going to do is essentially sever it in a way that is hopefully not reminiscent of John Wayne Bobbitt and which will permit my penis to hang lower and set free a certain amount of its length that is still inside me and thus is currently completely wasted :)
So, that is the lengthening side of things in an admittedly rather non-technical and brief summary. I'll let you know how it goes in the weeks and months ahead. That leaves the widening aspect. Hmm.
I looked into this whole business some years ago (about 12 or 13 years ago in fact) and was pretty disappointed. At that time the only option for widening which was available was injections of fat into the penis which sounded (and apparently looked) rather disgusting and over time resulted in a lumpy appearance. Naturally I avoided this. However my surgeon appears to be a bit of a pioneer in what I believe is called "dermal fat transfer" whereby what he described as "fibrous" fat is transferred in a single layer from either above the pubic area or the buttocks or thighs and is wrapped around the penis, beneath the skin. This naturally involves some fairly serious surgery and trauma to the area from where the fat is taken and the area to which is the fat is transferred. Luckily the fat is being transferred to an area that isnt' particularly sensitive - ie. the penis.
Yeah right. I'm sure that's not going to hurt much AT ALL.
Do not adjust your dial. Stay tuned to this station. More info to follow.
The most safest way to enlarge and enhance your penis is by making use of natural ingredients. Before we start our search into natural penis enlargement pills it is therefor smart to explore to most common herbs. By doing this, we get familiar with the purposes of these herbs.
Herbs are nutritional foundation nutrients and good alternative medicine to nourish the body's deepest and most basic elements. Medicinal herbs have been used safely and effectively since the time of recorded history for an endless list of reasons from health, healing, weight loss/gain/maintenance, to survival and more. Herbs can offer the body nutrients it does not always receive, either from a poor diet, or environmental deficiencies in the soil and air.
They are great body balancers that help regulate body functions. Besides this, it is also known that a lot of vitamin preparatives will not be fully absorbed by the human body, on average a human body takes about 30%. Natural herbs mostly are fully absorbed by the body, so this is a main difference.
The benefits of herbs are many and varied. Even the once skeptical traditional medical community is starting to embrace alternative medicine practices using herbal remedies and healing philosophies and practices incorporating herbal medicine and medicinal herbs. Chinese herbs have been used by the Chinese for over 4,000 years to promote health and as healing agents.
Chinese Herbs are taken as tonics to enhance physical and mental well being. Since the dawn of man, herbs have been used for healing purposes and to promote wellness. Today, herbs are still the alternative medicine and primary source of health care for 80% of the world.

You will notice that good quality penis enlargement pills always consists of an extraordinary blend of ingredients which will lead to the results you're expecting. Although this may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, a good penis pill will have the following ingredients.
L-arginine
L-Arginine is an amino acid that stimulates growth hormone release and improves the immune system. This amazing amino acid totally increases ejaculatory volume levels and orgasm intensity when taken on a regular basis.
L-arginine supplements can increase fertility in men who have low sperm counts or poor sperm motility.
Dodder seed
Primary function of this seed is to improve and tune up the kidney, liver, reproductive, urinary and cardiovascular systems.
Most commonly, it is used to strengthen the uro-genital functions. Dodder seed is used to treat impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent urination and sexual disinterest in males. It is also considered to be an anti-aging herb.
Gingko
The Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract develops blood circulation and increases the supply of oxygen to the heart, brain and all body parts. It also acts as an anti-oxidant and therefore has anti-aging effects. In men, it increases the arterial inflow to erectile tissues through arteries and veins without any change to systemic blood pressure.
Herba Epimedii
Herba Epimedii stimulate the supra renal glands, and triggers the increased hormonal secretions. This herb increases male sperm count and semen density substantially. It also develops the circulatory system’s blood vessels, while allowing hormone-enriched blood to penetrate sensitive tissues.
Hawthorn
Hawthorn is definitely the best tonic for the heart and circulatory system. It has restorative and stimulating properties. Hawthorn is the leading remedy for essential hypertension, and often used to reduce stress and anxiety associated with poor sexual function.
Ginseng
Panax Ginseng is the most popular medicinal plant in China. It is used for mental and physical revitalizing effect on the whole body. Ginseng universally fights weakness and gives more energy. It develops the endocrine gland function and has a good effect on the sex glands. Aside from enhancing athletic performance, Panax Ginseng rejuvenates and increases longevity.
Catuaba
Catuaba is in the area of treating incapacity of the male genital organs. It is an innocent aphrodisiac, safe any highly effective for long term use.
Catuaba, a Brazilian herbal medicine is considered a central nervous system tonic with aphrodisiac properties and the bark is used for sexual impotency, agitation, nervousness, neurasthenia, poor memory or forgetfulness, and sexual weakness.
Only the outer layer of the tree is used, this crust regenerates itself quickly. Therefore, the rain forest is ecologically and meaningfully used and is not exploited or destroyed.
Muira Pauma
Muira puama is one of the finest herbs to use for erectile dysfunction. This shrub came from Brazil and has long been used as a effective aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant in South American folk medicine. Its safety and effectiveness in improving libido and sexual function in patients has validated from clinical study.
Zinc Gluconate
This sex nutrient is important for the male reproductive system. Zinc is also essential for healthy prostate function. Testosterone, the most essential anabolic our bodies naturally produce, is recognized to be closely interrelated with zinc.
The aforementioned ingredients did prove themselves to be successfully in penis enlargement / enhancement treatments. The last years we also see a "rather unknown" herb coming on the market, developed for all kind of penis improvements. This herb is originated in Thailand and used for centuries. The term "rather unknown" is relative in this matter, because in the Asian part of this world it is a very popular and known product.
Nevertheless let's keep our focus narrow for this moment, and devote another article about this herb. Otherwise it can become confusing for you and that is not want we want, right?
Wish you all the best and good luck with your developments.

Do you remember my remarks about penis enlargement and enhancement pills in my previous article? Initially I wanted to write about herbs and natural penis enlargement methods in general, but decided to get back to you about the pills. Your advantage will be to know how they work and what they will or can do for you. Why? Because we both know you are in a time frame, right!
A lot is said about penis enlargement pills, positive and negative. The thing is there are a lot of brands available on the market nowadays. So what are you looking for in a good pill to enhance/enlarge your penis? Be aware that there are, of course, also a lot of expensive pills/methods that don't work!!
First lets have a look how your penis is functioning.
Your penis is made up of spongy tissue called Corpora Cavernosa and Corpus Spongisum. When you get an erection, this area expands and fills with blood.
Good quality enlargement pills will stimulate these tissues, expand and stretch them to hold more blood during an erection which in turn will results in a bigger penis. Some methods will help you to gain increased sexual stamina, more semen, harder erections and the ability to ejaculate when you want. Do you see the difference? The first part is to enlarge your penis and the second part to enhance your penis. So some products will only enlarge your penis and others will do both.
In addition to this when you use a real quality product these results will be permanent without having to maintain your size. When you use the right product this will lead to:
Enlarge the penis
Erection strengthening
Increased sexual stamina
Increased head size
More intense orgasms
Improvement in urinary flow
Increased blood circulation to genital area.
Higher sex drive
Treatment of impotence
Increased sperm production
Overall improvement in sexual function
Increased orgasm intensity.
And therefor it's not only penis enlargement but also enhancement.
Generally speaking, enlargement pills are quite safe. This is because their ingredients are non-prescriptive, consisting mostly of natural herbs. However, you should ALWAYS read the ingredients for yourself. Some pill companies state that men with diabetes or genital nerve damage should NOT take enlargement pills. The ones which use the herb YOHIMBE in their pills, should be avoided due to their side effects. (FDA warning). Good suppliers will always provide a list of their ingredients.
Penis enlargement pills are not cheap. They usually cost anywhere between $40-$80 per a month. However if you buy in bulk then you usually get large discounts. You usually have to take them for no longer than 3-4 months. If you compare these prices with surgery, it is not expensive at all and not painful.
Keep in mind that you use only 100% pure natural products.
Penis enhancement pills in combination with exercises will lead to an enlarged penis. The results may vary from person to person, but results there will be for sure!!!
Wish you all the best and good luck with your developments.

Studies have shown that most men are interested in penis enlargement. In fact these studies show that most men are not satisfied with their penis length or their sexual performance. They are also dissatisfied with the firmness of the erect penis, but are unwilling to talk with their doctor about what they perceive as a problem.
