Thanks Paul, You put my thoughts into words perfectly. At a little over 4 weeks post-op and being one of the over 90% group, already, I hope that the photos and the many negative posts, by the one poster, is not the cause of someone being convinced not to have the implant. For all the guys thinking ...

I researched my doctor and at our first meeting I knew he was going to be my doctor, so my first important question for him was "how soon can you do it?"

Try to find out as much as you can about your doctor before you meet with him.

Lots of luck,

Ron

I CAN speak from experience; Dr. Henry (Shreveport, LA) did my surgery 4 weeks ago tomorrow. He's a heck of a guy. Both my wife and I knew that he was "our" Dr. after talking to him. I have had no pain (some discomfort but not pain) swelling all but gone, I can feel the pump where it's sup...

The one thing Dr. Henry not only told me but also wrote down: "Don't touch, don't experiment, don't play with it", He will show and teach me how to use it at my 6 week visit, until then just let it heal. It's been so long since I was able to use my little guy that I can wait. Good luck to ...

Welcome Craig, The guys on FT have provided so much information for all of us. Tomorrow will be day 7 post-op for me and I hope your surgeon is as good as mine was. I have had some discomfort but nothing I would call pain. I only had to take 3 pain pills (2 on the day of surgery and one pill cut in ...

What a day, well, I'll start with yesterday. We drove 5 hours to Shreveport, LA for a 3:00pm pre-op appointment. Got to hosp. at 6:30am, today. They took me to surgery about 8:30am and Dr. Gerard Henry, MD did his thing. I'm now the proud owner of a shiny new AMS 700 LGX with all the “bells and whis...

Wow Bob, what an encouragement!

I’m having my surgery in 2 weeks and as good as I have felt about it, you have helped me feel even better. Keep up with whatever your doing, it’s working. Continued good healing and good luck..

Thanks,
Ron

Latest info. Found out today that the Project Hero thing isn't going to work for me, it's a procedure deal. But I was pre-approved last week by Blue Cross, and they cover 100%. So it's still Dr. Heny on 10-26-11.

Happy Birthday to me! I got my call from Dr. G. Henry’s (Shreveport, La.) office this afternoon. I am scheduled for surgery on Oct. 26, 2011. The VA approved my surgery back in June and I still can’t get a date from them. I saw Dr. Henry a week ago last Monday and have a firm date already. AND it’s...

Finally got a "for-sure" date today! It will be 10-26-11 by Dr. G. Henry MD in Sheveport, LA. AMS 700 LGX
