About 8 hours after the procedure. No idea of the measurement, but I have very large hands (long) and it felt amazing in my hands. Previously, I felt small in my hand. Previous measurements varied between 4.5 and 4 3/4 or so Girth with between 5 3/4 and 6" Erect length. I'm very much a Grower, which was another big reason for this. In a hurry now, will write more later. Flacid Girth now is between 5 and 5 5/8. Goal is 6 + Erect Girth.
