Re: Getting frustrated

Welcome to the club! There's a lot to break down there, so I'll contribute what I can right now. First - 10 days in is still very early in the healing process.

Re: Renewal Price and issues?

Hi Rawness - I'm on my 2nd implant since age 20, and like you, expect to have a few more over my lifetime. I will need to budget to hit my out of pocket (OOP) insurance annual spend for a replacement every 10 years (hoping for 15 years per implant, but best to budget for 10). So if my OOP is around ...

Hey Wolfpacker - I believe I'm at 5'' with my revision, slightly bigger than the 1st. Not sure on girth yet as I haven't inflated fully. My first implant served...

Re: Extreme tip pain 1 year post op

Re: Tip pain

Based on my experience with my first implant, I was feeling tip and scrotal pain around various spots where the implant (or tubes) were placed during week #5, 6, and 7. Keep your doctor informed, but they may tell you that you're still healing even though other men are feeling pain free at this poin...

Hello Men! I'm Back! Minnesota here. 31 years old and just Friday (10/2/2020) I received a new implant. I experienced a device failure after 11 great implanted years.
