Re: Medicare vs Private Insurance
Medicare Part A is given to you when you turn 65. I don't think you have to sign up for it. Medicare Part B is the one you have to enroll in, and the cost is deducted from your SS check. I imagine there is a private pay method since you aren't retiring and won't have a monthly SS check. Medicare Par...

Good to hear healing is going well. Many positive mentions around here of Dr. Levine.

Re: Next steps in my pre-implant journey
Good planning. It's nice your wife is more on board with the idea. Let her know there are more mental effects other than the worry of undergoing the surgery. We feel broken if we can't perform and satisfy our wife.
Good Luck working on that A1C.

Re: Living the Dream
That sure sounds like a Dream. At least for a single straight guy.
Glad the implant is working well for you.

Re: Could one continue to lose size indefinitely??
After fighting ED for 12-13 years I definitely lost size. Tried everything along the way before getting my implant. Just before ED started in my mid-50's to post implant my length is close to one inch less. It's not a use it or lose it thing, it's caused by the tissues not getting stretched as often...

Re: Can it be fixed without full replacement?
That really stinks you've had so many problems with the implant. If that was me lawyers would already be on call if not putting together a case already. AMS should cover the cost of a faulty device. The doctor bill should be covered by them too, but I'm sure they have a clause in the guarantee that ...

Re: Persistent Swelling
Even at 5 1/2 weeks I was still swollen and sore when my doc finally deflated me.
May be time to try a switch from ice to heat? Or the contrast method where you ice for 5 minutes, then heat for 10, repeat that about 3-4 times.

Re: ED opinions
Your best bet is seeing a urologist who specializes in men's sexual health. Over the counter meds just don't work. I took many when my ED started and the only thing I got was heartburn. If you read in the Shockwave therapy posts there are very few positive results noted. The biggest reason you want ...

Re: Incision healing
Took mine about 4-5 weeks if I remember. Doc took some excess scrotal skin off too, and it pained me for close to 2 months.
