His penis still curves to the left and he has some extra skin bunched on the underside. We have been trying to potty train him and when he does go, he misses that little cup and pees all over me instead. I just asked my husband if we could go back and change it, would he and he said absolutely. If we could turn back time, we would NOT do the surgery. <br /><br />I'm sure there are plenty of people who had a fine experience with this, but ours didn't have a good outcome.<br /><br />As far as he's concerned, he doesn't notice. He's only 2 1/2. I don't know how things will be in the locker room. He doesn't have any new or remaining problems other than not being able to pee straight as a toddler :) <br /><br />Good luck. And remember it's okay to get another opinion or cancel and do it later. You can always put it off and do it later on, you can't take it back.Talia Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348450767692526779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659320844842403654.post-65697429837113938202014-11-13T20:45:04.072-06:002014-11-13T20:45:04.072-06:00How has everything healed?

Please update how the healing process went.

If I could do it over again, I wouldn't do it. My husband feels the same. I had no idea anything was wrong with him until the doctor told me and we were there for another reason. They scared us saying he'd have problems later on and he'd handle the surgery better now. I should have gone with my gut and said no. I don't think it looks good, clean, it's more jagged, bumpy. Maybe that's normal. I don't know. He's my only boy. If I could go back in time, I would have not done the surgery and let him do what he wanted to do with it later on. Maybe he would have been mad at me, maybe it would have been more painful, but it would have been his decision. <br /><br />I don't know how severe your son's is. Maybe it's worse than my son's or maybe it's better. But I say go with your gut. It's something you can do later in life, not something you can take back.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting. It's good to know somebody is seeing this and that it's helping. There wasn't a lot of information/stories about it when I was looking, so I knew I had to write about it :)Talia Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348450767692526779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659320844842403654.post-80297693915598210852014-02-25T01:47:24.617-06:002014-02-25T01:47:24.617-06:00Hi, my son is 2 and at birth they told me we neede...Hi, my son is 2 and at birth they told me we needed to go in at 6 months for a chordee correction. I haven't ever felt like it was necessary and didn't want him circ'd so we haven't went in yet. Do you think that he would have been fine without the surgery? I never feel like it looks weird, I just don't want for him to have issues later in life over a surgery I could have gotten when he was young. It is very difficult to find other women that have been here before, thank you for posting this blog. brittney.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08996955875787927517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659320844842403654.post-61871468834631905952014-01-27T10:48:30.587-06:002014-01-27T10:48:30.587-06:00Thanks for commenting.

It doesn't look normal or "clean". I definitely regret doing the surgery. I wish I could turn back time. My husband agrees too. <br />Our son doesn't seem too traumatized anymore. It's been a little over a year now. He still doesn't like me to wipe him well. During diaper changes if he was some fuzzies or a hair stuck to him and I try to get it off, he has a fit. So I don't know if he remembers that "someone hurt him down there" or if he just doesn't like it. Otherwise, I don't think there are any emotional problems.<br />I hope things get better for you and your little guy.Talia Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348450767692526779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659320844842403654.post-27266001376753237482014-01-27T09:22:51.194-06:002014-01-27T09:22:51.194-06:00My son recently had chordee surgery also. The hos...My son recently had chordee surgery also. The hospital was great, the doctor was great and the nurses were great. I have no complaints about any of that. <br /><br />I was told it was a simple procedure that would hardly effect the appearance of his penis. It, it fact, looks like he has been butchered. His penis is maybe 1/3rd of the size it was before surgery. It is barely there. It was necessary for them to do a circumcision also and the result only strengthened my belief that circumcision is a barbaric practice. That looks like it is more painful and raw than the chordee correction.<br /><br />He has had no complications and seems to be in very little pain, (which also scares me because it makes me worry that he has lost sensation as a result of this surgery.) He has been clingy like he has never been in his whole life. He seems spooked and doesn't want to sleep without us right there - not for naps or at night. It takes hours to get him to sleep. He has slept through the night since 2 months and would have slept through the night since day 1 if I had allowed him to, so this is very unusual.<br /><br />I hope we didn't make a terrible mistake. sunshynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417665588522746306noreply@blogger.com
