Chuck, Your experience sounds familiar; I'm a year further on than you in recovery. Cycling hurt like buggery for about 7 weeks before subsiding. I've always had a slight curve to the left; it was more exaggerated with the implant at first, but has now settled down to pre-op alignment. My Coloplast ...

I have been looking at the ISM saddles for days, comparing shape and dimensions, and agonizing over spending $200! ISM will let you demo a saddle for $20, so I ordered the PN 3.1 which looks to have the largest opening for the boys and their new playmate to hang free. I put my bike in the trainer l...

Question. Is the standard for measuring Penile size pushing to the pubic bone ? Because if I do this I am 5.25. If I don’t it’s only 4.5 inches. My follow up question is, is this too small to get an implant? Thank you in advance. Mate, I ain't a doctor but I'm sure it's not. Loads of guys here spea...

Hi Rancher, So far for me the adjustment to the ISM involves just the same type of discomfort on the bones as the previous saddle did at first, just in a different place. Yesterday was better than Thursday, though it was only a short hour's climbing. But I'm very lucky in that the guy who restored m...

Eh, palace - I'm guessing that the leakage is related to prostatectomy, no? I've been very lucky in that respect. As a matter of general interest, I'm now trying out an ISM PN1.1 saddle in place of the Specialized, in the hope that absence of the saddle nose will allow me to get down in the drops. D...

As another Aussie, I can endorse Smetro's advice 100%, although we went to different surgeons and - as far as I know - are rooting different women. (Because, you know, all Aussie sheilas bang like dunny doors in the wind...) 1. Dr. Eid is likely to know best: it is his business to do so. For what it...

Hi Rancher As one who's been in this situation since May '17 I can offer encouragement. You're doing very, very well if it's only 30 days since your implant: at that stage I could no more get astride the bike than fly to the moon. Your saddle looks good. I found the old Brooks B17 no much good becau...

B-velo, in my case it was probably over 3 months before I could ride at all seriously again. But my recovery from surgery was very slow: I was pretty much confined to home for 7 weeks, and not through any fault of the surgeon. After that, resumption of pedalling was itself a gradual process of trial...

Greg I'm your age, give or take, implanted in May '17. Like hrc714, I wear sideways in lycra these days, and a very impressive sight it is, to be sure. Mind you, I have taken to wearing shorts over the lycra; I found that otherwise I simply had too many 20-something admirers overcome with lust and w...

Mate, I can't answer your question 4 as I've only had my implant since May. At 60, it may last longer than I do. As for question 3, I'm fortunate in that I've never suffered from depression, but I have lived with several family members who have. And loss of libido was common in them while they remai...
