Infrapubic here & I'm happy to report my sensitivity has improved. Some of this is no doubt due to having experienced so much discomfort in the last 2 years of using shots. My required dosage of tri & then quad mix had gotten ridiculously high & the pain was excruciating. Also now I'm fr...

robcb1, For clarification, did your pump end up lower from you pulling down every time you peed? Or was it just time from surgery or something the doctor did for you? Mine is so high right now I don't think it will be easy to use and I have good manual dexterity. I will know more tomorrow; I just w...

My doc instructed me to gently pull down on the pump every time I peed until my three week appointment. I know what you mean about the skin irritation. I had that too. A little lotion and occasional use of an over-the-counter hydrocortisone itch cream helped with that. My pump has settled at the bot...

I’ve only had my implant for around three weeks now, so I can’t speak to the issue of long-term pain, but my experience so far actually surprised me. I have had an easy recovery so far with nothing more than what I would describe as mild discomfort. Perhaps that’s because I had myself prepared for t...

Wow, Stephen54. This is incredibly well said. We spend far too much time obsessing over things we simply cannot control, and that steals the joy of enjoying what we’ve been given to the absolute max. My implant has just been activated at roughly three weeks. I’m still healing, but my recovery has be...

I told one close friend the truth, along with my daughter, who, as a nurse, is very supportive. My wife has also been awesome about it. She has gone with me to every one of my appointments, as we’re in this together. I told everyone else that I was having an outpatient procedure related to my male p...

You’re definitely going with one of the best, mschicago. My doctor trained under Laurence Levine, and I am amazed at my recovery so far. I have absolutely no swelling. My surgical drain was in for 24 hours then removed today. I have zero pain, just a very dull soreness. Haven’t used ice at all. Fran...

I wish both of you the best! I underwent implant surgery today, and if your experience is anything like mine, you’ll be very happy. My surgery at the Cleveland Clinic couldn’t have gone better from what I’m being told. No unexpected surprises. Very mild discomfort now. I received a Coloplast Titan, ...

From one Bob to another, I wish you all the best for a quick recovery and great outcome. I’m right behind you, brother. I get implanted with the Titan on Tuesday, the 23rd, at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Bajic is doing the surgery. I look forward to hearing about your experience. This site has been re...

Congratulations! Wishing you the best with the surgery and recovery. I’ll bet it seemed like this day would never get here. At least that’s how I feel. I’m right behind you. 19 days and counting ‘til my implant day! Let us know how you’re doing.
