Well, there are costs incurred from use of the facilities, space occupancy, medical technology to monitor your life functions, anesthesia regulation, etc. I have repeatedly found that surgeon’s fees only make up about 40% of an itemized bill. And there is the whole insurance billing concept of “usua...

Preacher, I got to that point and I never looked back. I got tired of having to make excuses about losing wood and having to take pills to fuck or even rub one out. I’m only 6 days post op (and am still dealing with the nagging ache in my ballsack), and even through the (relative) pain I’ve endured,...

I just wanted to pass on the happy news that on 8/14/18 I was re-born bionic. Dr. Gary Friedlander in Rockville strapped me into a 21cm AMS CX with a centimeter RTE. I haven’t slept appreciably since the general anesthesia. I’ve been laying in bed with a steady rotation of cats, ice packs, and Perco...

I'm glad a Bier block isn't an option! About 13 years ago, I underwent a 5 hour gastric bypass procedure under general. The assigned anesthetist wasn't paying attention when I was becoming more and more conscious, so I choked hard on the endo-tracheal tube and consequently blew a bunch of capillarie...

Hey guys... I'm coming up for surgery next week, and I had a question for the assembled masses... If the surgeon gave you a choice between general anesthesia and a bupivicaine spinal block with a propofol drip, what way would you go? I have my particular preferences because of troubles with careless...

As to your other question, I dont qualify for Medicare so I dont know. Oh, OK. For some reason I had equated you with Medicare. No problem. Medical Insurance can be a finicky bitch. When approaching my insurance about this procedure I had been prepared for the fight I got from United Healthcare 13 ...

I called my insurance which is Fidelis (bundled with medicaid) and a rep there said I'm eligible! The only thing is that I need an 'Authorization Request'. An "authorization request" seems like Fidelis-speak for a pre-approval letter. The problem with this is that Dr. Eid doesnt take Fide...

I called Dr. Eid's office and hes expensive when it comes to implant surgery. I'd like to know what can be my options to financially pay for this? Alterr, When I started this (after I had gotten a lot of information, but before I had seen a surgeon), I dealt with insurance first. After seeing no ou...

Activation day Here’s a funny story yesterday I had to use the restroom so I go and use it while doing number 2 of course as a man I have to pee well forgot I was still inflated a started to pee then boom a little pee hit me in the face lol. More to update tomorrow. This makes me think that I shoul...

My female urologist handled my dick, I looked at her clearly visible labia - my dick stayed limp. Well, that wasn’t my best day... Soon after that I made inquiries about penile implants. Labia or not, if she otherwise looked something like Quasimodo, I'd have given you a pass. Men are visual creatu...
