Most of the ring has dropped, except for 5 pins. I had asked my clinic they are saying to wait for 6-7 days more. Does it really takes that much of time for the ring to drop completely? Or I'm a special case. Also my penis feels smaller than before in erect state. (an inch or 2 ) I have read couple of posts that it is normal and things will be better by 6th-8th week post op. Is it true ?

As I understand it, the ZSR ring of pins can take much longer to come out than stitches usually do, so your clinic's advice to wait the full month is probably just right.
Circumcision does not, and cannot, make your penis any shorter (except for the irrelevant overhang of the former foreskin). However some of its length can be hidden by swelling so that as the swelling subsides the penis will appear to get longer until back to its natural size.
