Re: Any advise for my pre-surgical appt. tomorrow?
If they have such a thing get a list of post operation instructions. Either that or take notes. The day of and after after my surgery I was so befuddled with all the excitement anything that was being told to me went in one ear and out the other without being registered. For me the worst part of the...

Re: Medical grade pump vs non-medical
IMHO Bathmate is too cumbersome. It produces a pleasant experience since it uses warm water but you pretty much have to bathe everytime you use it. It's just too clunky. My advice is to wait for the Urologist appt. and have him/her prescribe one. That way insurance will at least pay for all or some ...

Re: Shockwave therapy success story?
From what I've read on FT at best the results are very temporary and mostly a waste of time and money. Do a FT search on 'shockwave'.

Re: Questions for men with venous leaks
In my late 20s my doctor gave me a testosterone shot thinking that would jump start my lack of solid erections. It worked for a short time but I struggled. I was embarrassed to go back and I languished for years until Viagra became available. Viagra's usefulness waned after about 10 years. I tried L...

Re: FNG checking in.....
Just a guess but maybe the pharmacist wants to reduce the amount of alprostadil so there's less pain. Why your doctor is reluctant is best answered by him. I'm not sure how long you've been doing injections but I found after a number of tries the ache lessened. My pharmacist was reluctant to use atr...

Re: Rear tip extenders
Just an uneducated assumption but I believe they're for 'fine tuning' the size of the implant since the main implants are fixed sizes.

Re: Implants for growers?
Have any growers lost any length? I was absolutely a grower. Some days I would only be about 2" but erect I was ~6.5". If I was aggressive with a VED I could achieve nearly 7". Nearly a month after surgery I am at 5.5" flaccid and 6.5" erect. :D I chose a surgeon (Dr. Leroy...

Re: Hi - New member here
Welcome. I 2nd Bldoink. You don't want to skip the next alternative(injections) to oral meds IMHO. Another plus to injections is that it is sort of a troubleshooter in that if the injections fail it almost certainly points to venious leak as being the cause and gives you talking points to insurance ...

Re: Initial symptoms of venous leakage and doubts about penile implants
Might I add that I onlyconsidered an implant once I tried all the readily available, medically approved treatments. My last gasp, so to speak, was the VED and when I couldn't keep an erection even using 2 bands I knew I was broken so there was no doubt what to do.
