Re: Star's Journal

I had a Titan 20 up until two days ago. My tips were consistent (half way up into the head), flaccid or pumped up. You gotta remember the Coloplast implants don't stretch. They may wrinkle or crinkle when deflated but it ain't gonna get any longer than what you started out with.

Re: Infection rate seems quite high...

I'm almost 8 months out now. Some kind of infection started around week two and I've lived with it ever since. My implant is coming out tomorrow.

Re: Worst Case Scenarios

I'm almost 8 months out now. Some kind of infection started around the second week. And I've lived with it ever since. My implant is coming out tomorrow. Dr. Carrion in Tampa. He said he might replace it depending on what he finds when he cuts me open.

Re: Which Type of Medicare Pays for Implant?

Part A covers inpatient hospital and nursing care and Part B covers outpatient and doctor care. Isn't it the other around? I have A and B and it paid everything. But another poster here only had A and he said they wouldn't pay. A is the free part. B has a monthly fee. They take it out of my social ...

Re: Rate your implant 1-10 & why

I wouldn't even rate mine. I'm definitely not happy with it. It's coming out on 6/11.

Re: Have you had both an LGX and a Titan?

Ask your doc to show you an AMS and Coloplast and when you lay them side by side you will see and feel the difference. Here's some photos I took with my iPhone in Dr. Eid's office. Notice that the Titan is stiff and doesn't exactly bend. It folds. And notice that when it's deflated, it flattens out...

Re: The feel of a faccid penis with an implant

Can you leave an implant partially pumped with no danger to the unit or your body? Sure you can pump it to whatever level you desire. Mine never goes down below 5:00 when fully deflated so there's no need to pump it up a little. My problem is the head rubbing on my clothes or the underside being ru...

Re: implant removal

I wouldn’t listen to laymen but speak to a doctor. Over the last couple months, I went to see Dr. Kramer in Baltimore, Dr. Perito in Miami, Dr. Martz in Englewood, FL, Dr. Kata in Orlando, Dr. Eid in Manhatten and Dr. Carrion in Tampa. I've had a CT scan and an MRI both with and without contrast. T...
