Re: Which implant to choose? AMS or Coloplast
To those that are upset at my post. I did not use quotation marks in my go short comment. That was not in the paper thus no quotation marks. Like lots of the multiple data points that we look at. Whether its a paper or a study doesn't matter very much. It is a finding by someone. To show the link or...

Re: no pain when cycling... is that a good thing?
Nor do I. I think maybe Gt1956 didn't mean that. I can easily be wrong. The only thing that I can point to is a member that had a CX 24cm. He got a revision to a Titan 26cm. He complains of losing 2". That complaint continued for several months after his revision. The CX stretching is the only...

Re: no pain when cycling... is that a good thing?
I absolutely don't believe that a cx stretches by 25% Nor do I. I think maybe Gt1956 didn't mean that. I can easily be wrong. The only thing that I can point to is a member that had a CX 24cm. He got a revision to a Titan 26cm. He complains of losing 2". That complaint continued for several mo...

Re: no pain when cycling... is that a good thing?
To be honest, I was looking forward to working through the pain of cycling, as I would think that meant that things were stretching out. I do everything I can to get to pain, and I never do. I pump up to full capacity and leave it inflated for a couple of hours and don't feel any pain. At most, a *...

Re: What is the cost range for an implant?
wow prices have really gone up with inflation. about 3 years ago was seeing costs ranging from 12 to 14K and higher. Now seems the floor is 20K. I recall 14-18 but I honestly can not say at what time they were accurate for. Consider what the inflation rate was last year plus whatever it was in 2021...

Re: Which implant to choose? AMS or Coloplast
Bad habit. I didn't read the study that newbie443 has graciously posted for us. So I just read the first few paragraphs. I'm surprised that no one has picked this out. Considering how much infrapubic ipp surgery is being talked so highly. This might change a few members opinions. "Results from ...

Re: What is the cost range for an implant?
Past quotes have ranged from about $19K up to the mid $20'sK. True but it's basically free if you're over 65 and are covered by Medicare. Not True! Medicare A only covers hospital expenses. You need to have Medicare B as well, which is an elective insurance you pay for out of your SS check. Then yo...

Re: What is the cost range for an implant?
I thank you all for your help. From $20k to $85k is a factor of four. I don't pinch pennies and try to go for the best. How can I reconcile some surgeons charging four times as much? Thank you Don't worry. Those sky high prices are a game the doctors & insurance companies play. All insurances n...

Re: Which implant to choose? AMS or Coloplast
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5654325/ I refer to table 1. Results seem self explanatory. Btw, it does show that the Titan grows in length when most peple claim that it does not grow. Btw, Carrion & Hakky were involved in the study. Ah, thanks for the link GT. I had seen this stu...
