What happened to my my balls? Or maybe I should say where are they? That is a bit of hyperbole as I still "seem" to have them but.... ...? Here is what I am talking about, last nov-dec as my upcoming implants, IPP and AUS, were being discussed, a big concern of mine was, will all the pumps and tubing fit in there with my balls? Since then I have comented to others on support boards, to not worry, mine ended up fitting just fine. Thinking back to the weeks post surgery I remenber not wanting to feel around to try and find them as I thought they were hiding up somewhere and as long as they didn't hurt much, just leave them alone as I had had enought soreness in that area to not be too curious. Well now I have decided to try and find them and think I have but they are now in a much different state. Before the implants they were firm and large grape size now they are poorly defined shapewise and soft and mushy and I would say hard to clearly distinguish.  Hmmm, do I need an implant for that too? new plastic ones implanted? Actually, I think I'll just leave them alone but I am wondering if anybody else had this happen? I don't know excatly when this happened but it was definately post implant. Could the IPP and AUS pump constantly bumping into them made them that way? Whatever is left of them longer hangs down much they are pretty high up with my two new nice pumps occuping their former space. Or is that why the doc said not to worry, while he was thinking, ha ha , they will fit cause you ain't gonna have any left?
I am not treating this as a seroius problem, mainly I am just curious.

knotreel,

I can not say that I have experienced the scenario you described. If anything, I feel like my "sack" may have gotten larger to accomodate my new two "friends". One of my testicles is a hydrocele. For years, it has been about 3 times larger than the other. Both have remained pretty much the same size since my implants.

...So, after reading your post, I went on a search & discover mission down there.  I had not given any thot to the boys for a long time since I had them rendered unproductive many, many years ago.  I found one of them, resting fairly high above the two new thingys.  Like you said, it was kind of mushy but still very tender so I did not pursue any further.  Every now and then, whe I get into my pickup a little carelessly, I discover anew that there is at least one of them left.  The implant doctor said nothing about taking any out, so I'm presuming both are still there. 

But I have a theory: Since they are now riding high and away from the Creator's disigned riding place for them, I think they have, sort of, melted from the body heat. 

So... what do you think of that theory?  Since I don't "need" them any more, and IF they produce no harmful effects... no problem.

Gene, yeah, like you, they can still get bumped and remind me that they are still there, based on that I just figured they had gone up higher, which they did, but now they are a lot easier to hide and I really can't say if there is one or two up there where they stay now. My voice hasn't changed but people or the telephone say "yes mam", is that a bad sign?I had left that area alone for a while and now I sorta wish I had not gone groping around for them, let sleeping balls lie, maybe.
Your theory sounds resonable and unless nobody comes up with a better one we'll stick with that. Harmful effects? other than a high voice, big boobs and wearing women's underware I think I'm ok.
I just remember everybody telling me not to worry, all the new stuff will fit in there comfortably. Now when somebody asks " are you sure all this stuff will fit?" I am not sure what to say now.
Wigs, you better check again, don't assume they are still ok.

Ron, When you start shopping at Victoria Secrets I will start worrying about you. :)
