Thank you both so much for sharing your timeframe. It really helps hearing from others who went through this so I can frame my own healing progress. My doctor's appointments have been pushed back several times. The only comment I got from the doctor shortly after the surgery is that it looks good which is a little vague.

I did not know there was an option for another reconstructive surgery. I'll remember that if large bulb doesn't improve after some more healing time. Biting my tongues several times hasn't helped.
