I also managed without using any narcotics. I told my doc that I was a recovering alcoholic with over 10 years sobriety and didn't want to risk triggering any relapse. He assured me that I could get by with OTC pain meds and ice. He was right! It really wasn't that bad. I would describe it as more o...

Seems to me the newer, more sophisticated pumps have more issues. Simpler design results in less problems. My doctor, who had an OTR poste...

Tangerine, My wife will be turning 52 next month and she is pre-menopausal. She complained about my tips early on after I received my implant. My doc told me to ease up on the pumping, but I think the main factor may have been my glans may not have been engorged enough to cushion the tips. I am luck...

Just went to see him last week for a follow up and I was somewhat shocked to hear that he would be ending his practice March 31st, 2019. I believe he is in his mid-sixties and therefore it shouldn't be much of a surprise, but there I was very much surprised. Knowing his age, it was already in the ba...

Nice shot Mike.....interesting....we point opposite directions Looking down I shape to the left and you appear to point right. You are so right about the transition from early implantee to 12 month plus hardcore erection king Thanks Smetro! I was born with that curve. For years I wondered if it was...

My doctor swears by the older Titan pump, the Genesis pump. I'm told it's simpler design results in less failures.

Just celebrated 1 year anniversary! Can't believe how fast that year went by. For the first time in years, I didn't spend any time worrying about my ED. For those recently implanted, give it time. It really does become a part of you.

I'm in my fifties and it has been almost a year since I was implanted. My implant has become a part of me and I don't really give it that much of thought anymore. Since you are a grower like me, you will probably love being a shower after getting the implant. My glans engorge just like before as tha...

After surgery he left me inflated to about 50%. At my 2 week appointment he deflated me and that was definitely a relief. He told me to come back in 4 weeks for my activation. So I was activated at the 6 week mark, although I think there have been other Garber patients here who have waited longer th...

Stacheman Garber performed my surgery in October of last year. I hear you on his communication skills. All I can say is I put my trust in his credentials, skill, and experience and it all worked out for me. I expected way more pain and bruising than I got. I did have a lot of swelling so I kept a go...
