 Use some punctuation and help us all out.

I read your post like a rant from a meth addict.

 @OhFuck thanks for sharing your experience thus far. I haven't been on PhalloBoards for awhile and just came across this post. My advice is to stay the course, Removal is always an option in the future.

My partner and I are coming to our two year post-surgery date in July. The healing process isn't fun and it'll take months before things feel normal and your body gets accustomed to the implant.

You're lucky you have length gains. The Girth gains are immediate of course, but I returned back to my original Erect length of 6 inches. So I'm happy I didn't lose any but my partner had length gains. He's sitting at about 7 inches in length when before he was 5.5.

So the question does the Elist Implant give everyone Erect length gains? For me, no. For my partner, yes.

Still, I am happy with the implant. I count myself fortunate that we haven't had any complications or needed Removal. I know there have been others that have had issues and had to remove the implant. I do know that when we got the implants, it was a later model which is now back in July 2016. Previous models came in two pieces that were stitched together on top.

Keep writing and documenting-good or bad. Only time will tell. The nerve sensations will return as the weeks progress.

Off the top of my head: being careful, following directions, staying hydrated, having a history of stretching and pumping, taking initiative on improving recovery with supplements. It's probably mostly luck though. I saw another guy said elist underestimated his EG so the mesh was too tight. I didn't give them any Erect measurements either so I can only assume they eyeball it. Must have got mine right though because I have no problem with the implant size. And like I said it was inserted an Inch or so below where they normally do the incision so that might have contributed to my instant results.

 This is my first post to PhalloBoards although I have been reading for months. Even after reading the bad ones I went with the "this is minority voicing because of there negative outcomes theory" and took a chance. Got mine 6/19/18 ). 15 days into it today. Happy 4th btw,, The first 10 days I thought I was healing ahead of the pack, I've always had a very strong immune system. Cant even remember last time I was sick cuts always heal fast etc. Anyway I developed some pretty concerning puffiness like a fluid build up on day 10. Maybe a Sonoma or maybe not but elist prescribed me some more antibiotics just in case. The swelling brought on some pain to be honest I was freakin out but the pain subsided after a couple days. All I can say is if this thing is successful and I pray it is I really think it's a good deal. I am way bigger than I anticipated. Although I am retracted as of now when the desolveable stitches dissolve and the implant is released from my pubic area and given ability to move out fully as before this thing is going to be awesome!!! Will post in the coming days..

It will be great if you start your own thread with photos to show us your progress.
Not sure about this "dissolvable Sutures" (another elist made up story?) , they are permanent stitches otherwise the implant will slide on the shaft after they supposedly dissolve!
