I have an opportunity to get an Anthem Blue Cross PPO medical plan which covers the implant procedure, (but only after authorization). The CPT code the doctor’s office gave me for the procedure is 54403. Does anyone know how common (or rare) it is for a big insurance PPO plan to deny the procedure ...

The Hiking on day-4 provokes a question: How many days is one typically laid up in bed? Then how many days walking around in your pajamas taking it easy? How many days till you could sit in an office or on a plane for 8 hours with no huge discomfort? I thought the recovery time was several weeks? A...

Firstcav46, I have only been cycling for less than two weeks but I can already tell this deflation is much easier if I hold the pump in a low position, possibly this avoids kinks in the tubes. Initially I thought maybe a pump or two to clear the valve was needed sometimes but that was inconsistent. ...

I sent you a good cell phone number for Dr. Kramer in a private message

FunGuy69, Nice! That's at least two people that found the 0-3 month baby sock idea useful. I found very soft and thick ones at Target. Besides preventing the glans from rubbing on clothing, it turns out to nicely catch any 'late drippling' urine. Ha! Today, at post-op day 23, I had another successfu...

Andrew, I shared the following in my topic on my procedure of May 1: "Post-op days 5-11 It seems like it took a couple of days after the surgery for the bruising/discoloration to be most severe but by post op day 7 it was definitely starting to diminish. At post op day 11, I would say it’s over...

Post-op days 17-21 I have been cycling for a few days now with my Titan and standard pump and the following 'tip' has enabled me to quickly and easily deflate completely. I make sure I pull the pump into a low position to avoid restrictions from bending or from kinking the tubes. This seems to be re...

Post op days 12-16 After just a few few days of inflating twice a day I feel like the sting of inflation is actually starting to subside a bit. I can hold the fully inflated state longer each day. Inflating with the Titan standard pump is very easy but it’s still tricky deflating with it. At this po...

I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
If you want to see videos of the procedure by a master, just search in YouTube for Andrew Kramer.
I have been posting my May 1 procedure in franktalk. It has a link to my video.
Good luck

So I fully inflated this morning and oh my gosh the second big surprise of this experience. I will refer to it as the sting of inflation! There’s a very definite stinging mostly towards the tip of my penis. I assume this is normal but more importantly how long does this last? how many inflation cycl...
