Re: At a Pivotal Crossroads - Some Merrix-Style No-BS Advice Desperately Sought

If only it were so simple. I have natural function. But I don't think my mind will ever allow me to get back to a point whereby it's healthy or secure enough to even want sex, let alone try. It's such a nuanced situation. I am going to be very direct, since you asked for it. It really is not all th...

Re: At a Pivotal Crossroads - Some Merrix-Style No-BS Advice Desperately Sought

What are you waiting for then? Go ahead and schedule the implant. If only it were so simple. I have natural function. But I don't think my mind will ever allow me to get back to a point whereby it's healthy or secure enough to even want sex, let alone try. It's such a nuanced situation. I am going ...

Re: Vasectomy while getting Implanted

Getting down to business, has anybody simultaneously undergone a Vasectomy AND a Penile Implant surgery? What's your experience? Although I did not have a vasectomy at the same time as my penile implant surgery, I had one testicle removed and a cyst taken off the other--so I had three procedures to...

Re: The Journey Begins

Relax--take a deep breath. Take is all one step at a time, ask questions to ensure you understand what is expected, and realize it will be at least a week or two before you feel normal again. Don't push it. Heal.

Re: Ready for the next Chapter

I hope your experience is as good as mine was. I was also implanted at Johns Hopkins--who is your doctor. I had a great experience, even as I walked into the OR and the nurse told me to get on the gurney and make sure my gown was in front. She said that I knew what to do. Stay in touch and best wish...

Re: Sex Positions

I have had no problems with my implant in any position. As a thought, if you think it too rigid, you can deflate it a bit for more flexibility--but I like the strength of the erection.

Re: implant with scrotoplasty at the same time

I had both at the same time and I had scrotal webbing from the bottom of the glans. My surgeon uses dissolving sutures. That results in what he called whiskers for the ends of the stiches and they can be uncomfortable. I still had a few after 6 weeks. And ended up removing the last couple myself. I...

Re: Any Incontinence after Implant

I know I will eventually get an implant. Right now I am using a VED to try and regain as much length as I can I had a RP 10 years ago. I asked my urologist if I could have a sling put in at the time of the Implant and he suggest I wait and see how my incontinence improves after any Implant. Right n...
