Thanks for everyone's support here. Finally calmed down after ANOTHER major let down getting this done. B.P. finally under 170. have to get it under 140 by tomorrow to pass a physical to keep my job. I've been looking around to try to figure out what to sell to pay the difference for travel. Not muc...

Find another doc asap I have seen 2 quacks here. 1 had the nerve to say he does not treat men with HIV because they have to be gay and he dislikes gays. Gay has nothing to do with me having HIV and it is more likely it was an drug user selling blood to buy dope is where the tainted blood came from....

Thanks Zac. Although only one doctor admitted it, I think they are all making excuses because I have HIV. I can't help it the blood supply was fucked 30 years ago. Lots of people have it. Millions in fact. Millions more don't know it and their docs don't either because they have not been tested. I h...

Nashville is about 5 hours way. Travelexpense and my secondary insurance that only covers emergency outside of Missouri but lot of other things here does not work in other states. Every year about August I finally get my deductible met and get the nerve up do this surgery which is permanent with no ...

Zac, go for all you can get out it. Your are one of the lucky ones who can get a working dick again. Go for it! I tired out a sample AMS ( I think) the one with the ribs on the pump and I must say, I was surprised how damn hard it was to pump it to stiff. Took more pumps and more pressure than I eve...

Don't ever have a hernia repair or a prostatectomy or you are screwed getting an implant. See my other post for the reason why. Mesh. They use gortex in both. If you have had surgery down there, only rods or a 2 piece that "Will not deflate fully because the reservoir in the scrotum is too smal...

Finally today the LONG awaited many times cancelled by the doctors and deferred appointment to see about getting an implant. Dick doc Bullock http://urology.wustl.edu/en/Faculty/BullockArnold was a MAJOR letdown. 12 hour wasted round trip. Nothing less than devastating again. doc was arrogant. Refus...

5 years 3 months out. Year 5 was better than 4, year 4 better than 2. 1 sucked major. No matter how much time, things just never get the same. I have to say and I have discussed it with a couple of my doctors in the past, I am certain that the testosterone has helped strengthen the urinary sphinctor...

Time is tough, especially when you don't know how much is left. I have certainly brought up quality of life the last couple of years and plain told a couple of docs no to surgery because there were no guarantees to improve the quality . It did not take me too long to figure out after the surgery tha...

javon, I beat myself up for 2 years saying if I knew what it was going to do to my life I would never had had the prostatectomy. was orignally to have nerve sparing too. with the PSA going up 3/4 point per week and all samples having cancer in all 4 lobes, I would probably have not been alive now bu...
