Re: New, Interested in AMS 700
Good day RG. I am just a dude on the internet, not a doctor or reliable source. If you go to a high-volume surgeon, she/he will size you correctly. I too got all twisted by numbers and assumptive sizing before my implant. But only your doc will know how deep your crus is - that crus depth plus your ...

Re: Have I ruined hope of any gains
Just an internet dude here - I feel it's not too late, but it is time to make it a priority. I would also get aggressive with the Pierto (spelling?) exercise.
I also experienced gains after a year, but I was cycling with purpose and consistent at it.
Good luck!

Re: Trimming a Coloplast cylinder
I am interested in this answer.
I assume the trim comes in on the backside of the cylinder, like the opposing function of a RTE?

Re: Going Bionic Nov 27
I agree with everyone - you are trending in the wrong direction and taking an appropriate step to mitigate further damage.
Trust the process, follow instructions, enjoy for a long time. Good luck brother!

Re: What to do and who to chose?
To hell with money/out-of-pocket costs, insurance, and/or time - you want the BEST surgeon of the two. That's where you focus, let the rest play out.
That's what I think anyway. I am unfamiliar with the surgeons mentioned so I can't help you there. At least a solution is on your horizon either way.

Re: How much pain should there be when cycling?
Normal brother. When I was where you are right now, a couple of guys suggested cycling in a hot tub/hot bath. This worked great for me. Cycling was still uncomfortable for a bit, but the heat helped immensely. I was able to go longer and get more pumps in during the looong acclamation stage I went t...

Re: Tubing placement
yes, the bottom of the shaft on the right-hand side. I don't think it's an inch up the ladder but it could be I suppose.
Meh, I would rather it not be there but small beans compared to the net value.

Re: Interesting Topic of Conversation
I agree with others who mentioned diet and a sedentary lifestyle. Also, I think the younger generation is more apt and adept and communicating whereas older generations might tend to suffer in silence out of embarrassment or unwillingness to show "weakness." I also agree that the pharma av...

Re: Did Insurance Cover Your Implant?
Medical Mutual here - surgery covered but for the deductible. So my assumption based on my experience is the "diagnosis" your physician submits. I looked at some of my medical records and noticed my Doc listed me as "impotent." I think this might be an important step in getting p...

Re: Lengthening exercise that works for me!
I started late (8 mos, maybe even a year in) and this definitely helped me regain size.
