Hey Big Mike, You need to talk to Minnesota on here. He is the youngest implant guy I know. He was 20 when he got his Titan. I believe your doctor is thinking endurance and ruggedness. You are young and active. think of the Titan as the SUV of implants. Minnesota will be along to say hi to you. look...

spotya,
Both implant companies will work with you if you have no insurance. You can either go through your doctor, or we can help put you in touch with the right people at AMS or Coloplast.
Most hospitals and docs have reduced fees and payment plans for unsinsured.
good luck
Paul

Guys, the ED Foundation (Franktalk's parent organization) will gratefully accept VED's you are not using anymore. We pass them on to guys with no insurance or who are unemployed. If you need a penis pump, let me know. If you have one to donate, you can send it to us - just drop me a line and I'll te...

Ming, Here is Dr. Karpman's website. http://www.healthy-male.com/ I have no idea how many implants he does each year. The number of implants a year does not always indicate how good a doctor is anyway. There is no list of docs anywhere on this website. We hope someday, to have the list of doctors wh...

Please be sure to tell Dr. Karpman that you are on this board. I have talked to him many times and we are talking about his becoming an advisor to us. We would love to have him. So, let him know that you are on here.
Thanks so much. Good Luck! He is one of the best there is!

This bunch of guys has probably had more catheters than any group on the net. Sounds like your bulb leaked and yeah, it's harmless saline. Catheters are much scarier and serious to patients than they are to docs. Must have been a bit of a shock though. And it does feel a bit odd, doesn't it, when th...

Good question - and yeah, you are about average. The rear extenders sound a bit shorter than some....I often hear of them being 2-3 cm, but they really don't matter. Sounds like your doc gave you a longer tube, which can be nice when it comes to deflation since it will collapse more for a natural lo...

mike, There have been several guys with tangled tubing issues on here...they will come along in a bit. We've also had guys with pumps, etc, stuck, grown, trapped in various parts of the scrotum. See your doc. you have every right to say "This is unacceptable." - Antelope used that term a l...

That doc certainly looks good. Remember that the number of implants a doc has performed, does not necessarily indicate that he is the best. I know many surgeons whom I call boutique implant docs because they do incredible work, but only do 50-60 a year instead of 50 a month. If you'd like, I can con...

LOL. You guys are nuts. Yes, we finally got power back on. most of our area is still without it, so we are really fortunate. debris everywhere, trees down, streets closed. it's a fun adventure! But first night in an empty 1842 house during a hurricane is a sure way to think it is haunted - LOL. The ...
