Ali,
Make sure to take it slow. I had a lot of healing to do after the revision. More than after the original surgery, so be patient. I was worried and Dr. Knoll kept reassuring me it would be fine and it was. It just took longer than I realized it would.

Re: My implant journey
My pump was in the way of insertion too. I had to have it revised and now the pump is down and out of the way. Sucks that I'm gonna have to pay twice. Richard, who is going to do the revision? I have a friend that says you can demand the surgeon/hospital who did your procedure, fix it. He claims th...

Re: My implant journey
Didn't you just say your "before" shot was 5.25" and your current pumped size is 5"? That's not much of a difference even at this early stage for you. That is close for 3 weeks tomorrow. I am 2 weeks and can still feel some swelling where that crap ass from hell implant was pull...

Re: Implant getting weaker
I haven't actually had this happen, but I have pumped standing up, laid down and tried to pump some more. I've noticed when I lay down and try to pump some more the bulb is again soft. I am assuming that is because the saline has drained back down into the reservoir while laying down. It sounds like...

Re: Medical Insurance issue
My BC/BS covered it all. I don't know if modeling was ever mentioned, but I'm sure the code showed up in the bill, so I don't see why your BC/BS shouldn't cover it too. Good luck.

Re: Revision 2017
The reason Dr. Kramer did so well on your revision is I told him to take care of my friend, Alibaba. LOL.

Re: Considering implant
Well, I'm certainly no doctor and can't tell you whether you will get better, BUT I can share my experience. My ED worsened through the years. For quite a few years Cialis worked fine, but at one point it quit working. I have high blood pressure and am on blood pressure meds. According to my local u...

Re: any positive results with anti depressants
Some say that Wellbutrin helps increase your libido. I have not found that to be true, but it doesn't shut you down sexually like the SSRI antidepressants tend to do. Abilify really makes a huge difference in my depression and it doesn't have negative sexual side effects. I can go from crying to bei...

Re: Who had their pump adhered to their scrotum after surgery?
After a week or so, you should be allowed to take sitz baths and yes, you can massage gently the scrotum and likely loosen that pump. I took them and they helped loosen and heal. At one point, I was so jumbled up in there that I couldn't define the pump and deflate valve, but I had extensive revisio...
