If you apply for TSA precheck you will bypass the body scanner. I have an ostomy as well, so this works out for me in more than one way.

agree with Mike123. My flaccid is larger now and harder, but as he said, it's not necessarily a bad thing. My implant always has some residual saline in it, even when I squeeze most of it out when deflating. I get a slow "flowback" of saline. It's not an erection, just a semi, I guess. Uri...

I had numbness on the underside, which was distressing. The nurse told me it would "probably" go away, and it did in about 6 months.
