Re: Initial symptoms of venous leakage and doubts about penile implants
Keep in mind that approx. 1/2 of what you see is what's in your body. Sort of like the tip of an iceberg. Look at the AMS or Coloplast website and see what they have. I'm pretty sure AMS has your size. As far as loosing size some initially loose a bit but regain it after a year or so. Just anecdotal...

Re: Implanted 9/30 still have had 3 Catheters and can not urinate on my own
That totally bites. IMHO the catheter was the most annoying (but necessary) part of my procedure. I take a low dose of terrazosin at night for BPH maybe that would help things relax down there. Another med is Flomax. Ask your doc ahead of time.

Re: Scrotoplasty
I had it done. Same approach as Greg1956, ie, infra-scrotal. I can't say it added any time to recovery, just a bit more to keep clean while things heal up. I had been using a VED prior to getting an implant and it would balloon up all the time so I figured it was excessive and wanted it gone. I have...

Re: Pump stuck at scrotum skin beneath incision area
One day it was just freed. I fiddled a lot with it so not sure if that helped.
That's good to hear. I'll just keep fiddling

Re: Addiction & Adequate Paim Meds
In the recovery room I was asked what my pain level was. I was still under the influence but I said, "a three". Based on that I suppose that's why I was sent packing scripts for Extra strength Tylenol and prescription strength Motrin and nothing stiffer. They did me just fine but I did get...

Re: Pump stuck at scrotum skin beneath incision area
I had the same issue, pump seemed stuck to scrotum, within 2 months it was free.
At 5 weeks plus my pump is still not free. I'm a little less concerned after your post but a question arises. When your pump did get unstuck were you still trying to pull it loose? Pain factor? Okay 2 questions.

Re: Preparing for surgery, losing weight, getting fit, experiences?
I took off about ~40 lbs in ~2 years prior to surgery. Mostly in hopes that maybe that was the cause of a venous leak. It wasn't but I went from the obese BMI rating to slightly overweight. That may have helped in enduring the surgery and recovery. Who knows but it couldn't hurt. I did 4 pretty simp...

Re: Is It Just Me?
It's not as if she totally cut me off but as of late it feels like she's doing me a favor instead of us mutually enjoying each other. I got one last hoorah 2 nights before surgery but I've been following orders to abstain for 6 weeks. At week 5 it seems like 5 months. For sure I'm going to go slow w...

Re: ED Supplements
I take L-arginine and zinc. I find that zinc will give me a headache sometimes, telling me to either cut down or give it a rest. But it helps with libido

Re: Is It Just Me?
men with E.D. really need to be aware of methods of dealing with their partner's (partners') feelings as well as their own.
Pretty much why I posted to 'Emotional and Mental Support'
Hopefully I'll get some of that "responsive desire" now that I have a robo-dick
