Cincinanatus, I have had the implant surgery 4 wks ago, by Dr Cornell, and like Roninhouston said, I never felt like I was an assembly line patient. Dr Cornell handled everything personally and when I ask about interns/residents, his answer was I handle this myself, these are my patients and I want ...

What about the rigidity when pumped up. I had a Dr tell me that the AMS 700 system does not get as rigid as the Titan. Does anyone with the AMS system feel like it should be more rigid?

I have also read on one of these forums about someone that used the little 1/2" wide velcro straps that are normally used to bundle your computer cables , etc . They said they were wide enough to hold the blood in with out too much pain. I don't know because I have never used them.

Well even though this is "not what I bargained for" It is what it is. So it is time to move on and try to improve the situation. I am scheduled to get an implant this Friday in Houston by Dr. Cornell. I am hoping that by Christmas I am a happy camper, Thanks for all of the answers and info...

Midwestern, I have tried the whole gambit of things that we try. Pills, Pumps and rings, Muse, Tri-mix and ow Bi-mix. I have progressed to using 82 units of Bi-Mix plus I take a 20 mg Cialis 1 - 2 hrs before hand. that works tolerable at best, but so be it
