Re: Greetings to all. I need assistance
Buenas, Ricardo. I agree with everything posted by David_Webb. Try finding a local doctor first for a consultation. I did this both to learn about implants and to find out about the doctor. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions. Write them down so you'll remember what to ask. I consulted with 3 doct...

Re: Bad experience with malleable/sem-rigid implant--had it removed
Hi Boyce. Thank you very much for telling us about your experience. I go in for an implant in June. I thought a little about the malleable for a while. It seemed simpler in some ways - no pump, fewer parts. I decided against it, but your story helps me know I did the right thing. It will also help o...

Re: TreeTop - Finally a decision.
I'm right where you are mentally. I've made the decision, and now just have to wait. Once the decision was done, the questions and concerns have gradually receded, leaving anticipation. I'd do it today if I could. My surgery is scheduled for June 5. I'm not saying that I don't still have concerns, t...

I live in Idaho and looked for surgeons in the western US. The name that surfaced the most was Dr. Karpman in Silicon Valley. After speaking with him, I decided to travel to have him do the implant. I'm sure there are competent implant surgeons in the LA area. My search was not exhaustive by any mea...

Romance leads to . . .
I'm a romantic at heart. When I was young I conjured up some very creative dates. Example: While attending college, I worked for the Electrical Engineering department and I had a key to the engineering building's freight elevator. So I got some friends together and we set up a romantic, candlelight ...

How long after implant to be comfortable on a motorcyle?
I've decided to get my implant in California, about an 11 hour drive from my home in Boise. Surgery is scheduled for June 5. I'll either need to fly back and forth for checkups at 1, 2, and 3 weeks, or just stay in the Bay area. Separately, I'm looking at buying a motorcycle again. It's been about 2...
