Re: D Day Coming Up...
So which is worse, being kicked in the nuts or implanted for a few days after?

Re: D Day Coming Up...
Okay so I lied about next post being after the surgery 21 hours from now. I was wondering what kind of pain meds are given to take home after an implant? How long did you actually need them before being able to switch to tylenol or advil?

Re: D Day Coming Up...
I am so ready to be in surgery in less than 24 hours now so I can finally get some sleep again! I awoke at 3:30am from a fitful sleep anyway. Got out of bed at 4 since anxiety was gonna keep me awake. In the past few days I've read as many posts on this forum about implants as I could. I've now mana...

Re: What is your optimal T level
I'm 64 years old and my last T level blood panel showed 1300 on a scale that only goes I think to 1220. After 2 years of injecting I asked the doc to cut dosage in half. The only vast improvement I gained was results at the gym working out 4 days a week and much more energy. I'm also argumentative a...

Re: D Day Coming Up...
I apologize for apparently being the first to be journaling my implant experience before it's even happened! I woke up again at around 4am and immediately the anxiety about this procedure overwhelmed me. I tried reminding myself how calmly I faced my previous 18 major surgeries that didn't ever phas...

Re: Uncooperative partner
I have decided to move forward with a penile implant. The problem is that my partner is not really on board with the idea. She has gone from saying "it isn't natural & there is nothing sexy about it" to "I'm not sure how I'll react." I'm a bit disappointed nobody has given yo...

Re: D Day Coming Up...
My pre op was yesterday. I got the usual medieval torture of the sticks for blood test. I'm a hard stick as they say. On the second try the nurse found the vein after some digging with the needle. After she took it out she apologized profusel because she was supposed to get 2 more vials out! After a...

Re: Face it guys
I leave in an hour for my pre op testing for implant on Tuesday of next week. I've opted for a few major surgeries before with what I knew would be a grueling recovery. None of the 18 surgeries I've had, with up to 6 months hospitalized afterwards, produced the trepidation I feel right now. I backed...

Re: D Day Coming Up...
Geez I was trying to get my morning workout in at the gym this morning and had to take 2 calls about upcoming procedure. I have pre op testing tomorrow. They told me I would have a catheter in overnight and have to come back next morning after surgery to have it removed. 3 hours of riding time the d...
