Re: Implant 9/29/23 - Dr. Eid

It's been a few years since I checked in on this site. I'm happy to see Dr Eid still at it. He did my Coloplast Titan implant almost 12 years ago. I'm very happy its still working great and no signs of failing. He did tell me then to expect 10-12 years out of it, but I'm hopeful it will continue. An...

Re: Golf/Implants

I'm not sure I fully understand the original question. Nobody else would have noticed anything for me at any point after surgery. The only issue was at what point I was healed enough to do it safely and with tolerable pain. For me, 21 days after surgery I played 18 in a cart with no pain of any kind...

Re: 10 Years After Implant

I don't really count pumps. Next time I'll try to remember to count. That said, if I pump fast each pump is probably not as much as it could be, whereas if I pump slowly and fully squeeze, more is transferred and probably less pumps. Flaccid to erect takes roughly 40 seconds either way, though I don...

Re: 10 Years After Implant

I'd say no change in erect shape or size post surgery. Flaccid was larger right away, but I was a significant "grower". I was actually happy for the increase in flaccid size, but I'm about average or slightly above average. My flaccid is now pretty normal for a locker room, whereas before ...

Re: 10 Years After Implant

I don't know enough about developments since mine to know if they've improved. And frankly, I'm not sure what improvements there could be that would matter much to me. The pump is quirky, but I figured that out pretty fast and Dr Eid give a some suggestions, so that really is not an issue for me. I ...

Re: 10 Years After Implant

I probably average 2-3 times per week, but sometimes more, sometimes less. I have used it multiple times in a day. I think my record a few years ago was 7, same woman just multiple times. Mostly just once though.

10 Years After Implant

Well, it's been a little over 10 years since implant. I don't check in here much anymore, but just thought I'd drop in and say everything still works great after 10 years. I couldn't be more pleased with how things turned out. 22cm Coloplast Titan with Dr Eid. I've documented my initial experiences ...

Re: Low libido

OK, after a month on Androderm I had my T tested again. Before starting on Androderm my level was reported at 238. After a month the level is now reported at 130 ( :o ). I am not noticing much change in how I feel (energy, mood, libido), but I'm guessing that one of these readings is incorrect. I'v...

Re: Testosterone Therapy options

Would you say 350 ng/dl is low for a 59 yo man? If you're asking me, I have no medical training whatsoever. So, not sure what my opinion is worth. According to the book above, "the widely accepted medical limits espoused by knowledgeable urologists and endocrinologists" is: "MILD HYP...

Re: Testosterone Therapy options

I thought I would see an increase in libido, but I have not. I went on T for that reason. Here is a book reference that might, or might not, be helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Improving-Male-Sexuality-Fertility-Testosterone/dp/0984187782/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1407856373&sr=8-5&keywords=...
