I think I may have pulled or stressed something, realized after I was out of the shower, my right testicle swelled to 2x or 3x the size.

It's more uncomfortable than anything, no real pain from it. Doc said I couldve slept on it wrong and to not worry unless it growes larger or becomes painful.

Ouch, never had that happen but you definitely need to make sure it doesn't get worse.

Dang Dave, I've never heard of that either. Now that whole area will appear to grow as you lose weight, but not like that and not two days post-op. Hope everything is alright. Take care of yourself.

I think if my nut had been growing I'd definitely be seeing a Doc.

Never heard of that either.  No pain.hmmm  keep an eye on that .  Family jewels dont come with replacement warrenty.  The thinner the better - remember the 21 rule 20lbs = 1"
thats what WLS is all about

well the swelling has gone down some and still no pain. Doc thinks it could be some type of fluid shift. I'm gonna monitor the swelling and if it gets bigger or painful I'll hit up the urologist.

Now if I can just work out this gas from these shakes! LOL. Walking from one end of the house to the other does the trick, thank goodness there's a toilet on each end!

Geez  ..  "grows LARGER"?   what kind of doc is that, a witchdoctor?   

  Never heard of the "sleeping wrongly" explanation causing a serious symptom like that, if in fact it is the testicle itself (vs. the ducting behind it) swelling up that much  .. 

  You need to see a urologist on Monday, before you end up 50% infertile, or worse  ..

Ok, urologist checked it out today - infection from the catheder on the gland behind my testicle.  Some meds prescribed and in about 30days it should be all cleared up.

Not sure who all will see this post now that it is moved to the second page, but I'm glad you found out what the problem is and that you should be improvement. I'm also glad that it wasn't anything real serious. Very strange.
