Re: Pleasantly surprised

Here are a few things that surprised me. It has been just 4 1/2 weeks since my surgery. I expected that the pain would be worse than it was. Thank goodness it was minor. I also just got the clearance from Dr. Clavell to start cycling. After two days of cycling, it is slightly better and easier each ...

Re: Titan Pump: Classic or One Touch?

I am 3 weeks post-op with OTR by Dr. Clavell. OTR is less reliable than classic, according to some comments I have heard from other Urologists. I have even watched a YouTube video with Dr. Eid saying the classic has lasted 15 years. In his experience, Dr. Clavell recommends the OTR over the classic....

Re: My turn. Jan 4, 2023.

Great news about your surgery. I am glad everything went as good as it sounds. Just lay low the next few days, ice and relax. The next event will be removing the dressing in 48hrs and getting ready to fly home.

Re: Why so many Titan failures here?

I found this post to be interesting. I just got a Titan installed three weeks ago. I was primarily interested in Titan because of its girth/firmness. Titan also appealed to me because several high-volume doctors preferred it over AMS.

Re: My turn. Jan 4, 2023.

Hi Thailandboud, I wish you the best of luck. I was in Houston, where you were, three weeks ago. I like your attitude going into the surgery. Dr. Clavell is great, along with the staff at the hospital. During the first few days, I was very low-key. I iced about every 30 mins. and I did walk a little...

Re: Underwear after implant

Is it really necessary to change the type of underwear your wear after an implant? Is it not practical to just buy a size up to accommodate for the larger flaccid? How uncomfortable does it get? Thanks in advance! Hi AussiePeyronies, My experience is that it is necessary, especially in the initial ...

Re: Increased pain three weeks out.

I have a couple questions for the gentlemen who didn't breeze through their post-implant recovery. Did you have any pain issues several weeks post-implant surgery, what was it and how was it resolved? For me, the first three weeks after surgery went very well. The incision healed very nicely, there...
