Re: Medical record privacy
I told no one about my surgery. Not even family. I live in Florida. When I get back today, one of my friends that is a pharmacist at the local hospital asked me how my implant surgery went. I've never even been to his hospital. I'm assuming he must have looked up my prescription history, saw the pai...

Medical record privacy
Can a pharmacist at a hospital where I have never been a patient pull my prescription drug history?

Re: revision question
He's a good doctor. I'm sure you are in good hands, and he will make every effort to give you the best outcome.

Re: Instructions post op
Very similar to my instructions... I was told strict bed rest first two days, and then gradually add walking for a few minutes each day when/if possible. My penis was supposed to remain partially inflated and pointing towards my waist. I am so happy that is over! Lol

Re: First activation
Dr Eid repeatedly warned not to inflate unless I was certain I could feel the vale to deflate. I was able to cycle it without issue this morning. I was able to get it to deflate 90% or more, but I can tell there is slightly more fluid than when Dr Eid fully deflated me. Nevertheless it is hanging do...

Re: revision question
Bill,
I'm sorry to read your experience. I can't imagine what you are going through. Hang in there. Is Dr Kramer concerned at all that you may lose size by waiting so long to activate?

Re: First activation
Great info lost sheep. I have been on testosterone replacement therapy for years, so my testes and scrotum are smaller than average. The pump is easily accessible, but the deflation valve is very difficult to reach as it sits inside my scrotum. The minimal swelling I do have is near the valve as wel...

revision question
For those of you that have had a revision, did you find revision recovery more or less painful than the initial recovery?

Re: What do you think of this surgeon in Korea?
I only have the ability to answer the question of longevity. Dr Eid is arguably the most widely respected high volume implant surgeon, and he would not give a definitive answer on longevity. He did say that he has had some last 20 years, and that it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect it to last 10 y...

Re: AMS vs. Titan
As I said above, it was my impression that Eid prefers Coloplast and Kramer prefers AMS. There are situations (described above) where they like to use the other though.
Also please know that I did not speak to Kramer. I only spoke with his office staff.
