WOW!! Your issue has taken me aback significantly! Months ago, I was very concerned about being implanted and put off my first scheduled procedure of July 16 until November 1st this year. While I may outwardly say that I have a great deal of confidence in my Virginia Urology surgeon, your pics showi...

All...great discussion to have in advance of procedure day. I had been very concerned about a similar insurance coverage issue: whether or not Medicare covered the anesthesia/ anesthesiologist portion of the surgery. I just spoke to the patient accounting office at the surgical center where my urolo...

Interesting article, DougAnd. I'm hoping that with the hundreds or thousands of implants performed by many of those surgeons mentioned here by FT recipients, no reasonable doctor would subscribe to this moronic suggestion. My uro surgeon seems to be 'on my side' when it comes to measurements and, al...

Concur, all. Have read other sites that all can weigh in. Was not impressed by some of the sniping back and forth. FT is best kept men-only!

Thanks for the clarification, Larry! Good for your wife! I just got the impression (mistakenly, obviously) that the pic was snapped during the surgery.

OMG, Larry!!!! So glad you had 'that' result fixed and are done. I don't want to see a picture like that from my scheduled procedure next month. I guess if I wanted to continue this thread, I'd ask why someone took the pic during surgery in the first place?

Quincy...many thanks for your journal!! My implant is in 5 weeks so your 'day by day' is VERY helpful. I've purchased a pair of Nike training shorts (like U/A compression shorts) for the post-op days. Is the jock working well for you? Did you try any compression shorts? I'm just trying to be prepare...

arlorider...although I am not yet a true 'brother' (my surgery is next month, 7/16), I truly share your fears. Only three real surgeries in my life...two at 4 years old (left side hernia and tonsil/adenoid removal) and one in 2010 for a right side hernia (laparoscopic). All, of course, were necessar...

Chuck...I'll be following your positioning 'adventure' closely since my Coloplast Titan OTR implant is scheduled for 7/16 (close on the heels of a two week trip to Paris/ Bordeaux). I know that my surgeon will tape me 'up' upon discharge but, understandably, I haven't been given any positioning guid...

Woundedlion...I've read lots on this site from any number of other men who have suffered with ED for many more reasons than I have and echoed many regrets for not having an implant sooner. I am neither a doctor nor a medical rep for any of the leading prosthesis manufacturers and, like you, I've bee...
