Got the circ done with a brand new device called a Langhe Stapler (similar to ZSR)
Unwrapped it today, all is good.. no more gauze! hooray
(for anybody who experienced this, the gauze sticks to the frenulum and in my case had to go back to hospital every 3 days to get it changed with new gauze which was so incredibly painful each time)
a little bit swelling with the remainder of loose skin left (0.5mm below glans) which makes my penis look more natural looking, even though its circumcised due to the loose cut which is the right fitting for those like myself who are growers and not showers as it gives space for the penis to grow into when erect without any pain or later risks such as bent penis etc.. not sure how its going to look when erect
the cut line is only noticeable now because of the staples and slight swelling around where its been cut, however supposedly the cut line is not noticeable when it heals as its so close to the glans
staples are left in, mine has no plastic band with the staples in which sounds like a benefit but time will tell. Some people on here have scared me saying the skin grows over - I asked the nurse about this and he said to give it 6 more weeks (2 months in total) for them to drop out and if they don't, come back and he will pull them out
I'm fucking terrified of having them pulled out and everything in my life is never simple or straight forward, always complicated and painful so on that note - CAN PEOPLE PLEASE RECOMMEND WAYS IN WHICH I CAN INCREASE THE ODDS OF THESE STAPLES FALLING OUT NATURALLY - I HAVE 6 WEEKS FROM TODAY FOR THEM TO FALL.
ALL RECOMMENDATIONS APPRECIATED, TRIED AND TESTED TECHNIQUES EVEN MORE HELPFUL!
