Re: new guy

Call your doctor and get new copies of the instructions. Check with your doctor about soaking. Soaking is ok if they use the right sutures and close in a watertight manner to allow for soaking. Some doctors do, some don't. If your's didn't, soaking might be bad for you. If your pain is not well cont...

Re: Another comparison thread.

My understanding is that if your penis is 7" or longer go with the Coloplast if not go AMS. I had the Titan installed, it was to along and started eroding through the skin, the second surgery was no fun at all and at 5 months post op I'm still in quite a bit of pain and discomfort…OUCH! And th...

Re: Anyone "solve" their venous leak ED with a penile implant?

Basically I want to EMPTY OUT the existing arsenal of weapons at my disposal before I pass the proverbial point of no return with an implant. I'm also meeting Dr. Tom Lue at UCSF in a little less than three weeks. I've wanted to meet him for the past 5+ yrs and looks like I'll finally have my chanc...

Re: Anyone "solve" their venous leak ED with a penile implant?

When a 'normal' guy gets aroused and gets an erection, the erectile tissue inside the caveronsa expands and presses against the tunica. That creates the hardness and rigidity of the erection. The spongiosum, which runs the full length of the penis on the underside (including inside the body) also en...

Re: Eid versus Kramer?

I was very very happy with my experience with Dr Eid. Results, bedside manner, office setup, responsiveness, the whole thing. Many others have been too. If you search the implant forum for 'Eid" you will find many experiences, and searching for 'Kramer" will also get you many experiences. ...

Re: My New Normal

A few guys who have posted here on FT had surgery in Houston. If you search for "houston" using the search function you will find which surgeons they used and a little about their experiences. You will get some extraneous results too, but its not hard to bypass those. As for your other que...
