Had my follow up/activation appointment today. Wasn't going to post, as I'm a bit discouraged, but figure talking about the occasional slight setback can be helpful for others to know what can happen. First off, the pump is still stuck to my scrotum. Dr. Kramer still things this is just something th...

OK, back for an update and a question. I'm now 3 weeks post-op and recovering well. Still some occasional discomfort at the base of the shaft, but nothing major. Had my first day back at work yesterday-just doing half days because I can, at least for another week or so. I'd probably be fine doing fu...

Thanks for the feedback! I went in to see Dr. Kramer today. Can't say I have a LOT more peace of mind than I had going in, but a bit I suppose. He didn't seem too alarmed by the state of things, but then again, he said he wasn't used to seeing people at the 2 week point, so it was hard to tell. He a...

Hey guys-I'm wondering if someone can either give some words of wisdom or encouragement. Today was day 11 post-op, and I'm running into a couple weird things: 1. It seems like the pump has gotten attached to my left testicle. I have read some people stating that theirs got attached to their sack, bu...

Well, 2 days post-op and still plugging away. Still consistent with what others have said in that there's not a whole lot of pain, just lots of discomfort. Biggest issue right now is constipation, but I'm hopeful that will start to clear up tomorrow. I've stopped wearing the athletic support during ...

I didn't go in to the office for the catheter removal, I did it at home. They walked me through the process a couple times while we were there yesterday, so I had a good idea what I was doing. Also, I'd read a lot of other people's experiences with it, so I was ready for the worst. Well, it wasn't t...

Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words. Surgery apparently went very well, and I've now been implanted with a Titan. I have no idea what the measurements are, as that's not really much concern to me. Having a working implant that can do the job and satisfy my wife is really what matters to ...

My implant surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning with Dr. Kramer, so I figured I'd begin a journal to hopefully help others in the same way reading other's journals have helped me. Here we go! My backstory: I'm 44 and have been dealing with ED for at least 10 years, although probably longer and ...

I had some correspondence with Dr Andrew Kramer yesterday. His UMMC email is still valid but he offered another one, @gmail.com, that is also being monitored. Also, he is responsive to texts to his personal cell. akramer@som.umaryland.edu (still valid) andrewkramerurology@gmail.com (617) 823-1850 (...

Does anyone have any info on Dr. Kramer's practice? I had an initial consultation scheduled for May 21st (about 3 months from when I made the appointment) which they rescheduled for July 2nd. Now, today I get a call that he's leaving the hospital to open a private practice, and they cancelled my Jul...
