Re: New TSA machines
I get flagged every time in the full body scanners. Strangers in line don’t tend to pay attention and not sure I care if they did. My wife thinks it is funny. My issue was travel with coworkers who began to notice a pattern. I worked with former military fighter pilots, and if they knew I had an imp...

Re: Insurance coverage for replacements
BCBS gave me a hard time on the initial implant. A lot of back and forth before they would pre authorize, and then again after surgery to get them to pay. It got to the point that I paid the cost and then got reimbursed from Dr after they finally got paid. The reimbursement was another battle. After...

Tube location on shaft.
My initial surgery proximal measurement (inward) was only 7cm. With my current 26 cm Titan, the protruding joint where the tubes enter the cylinders is about 2 cm out onto the shaft. I don’t have any rte’s as that would only make the situation worse. The large lump on the penis is uncomfortable and ...

Re: Reservoir size
I have the same size titan and don’t recall the reservoir capacity or the amount filled, but the surgeon told me she went 25cc beyond the recommended fill to level for the 26cm. She does this to accommodate for the stretch which happens over time. No downside to a bit of extra fluid in the tank.

Re: Warranty on devices and revisions
When my AMS failed at 3 years, I believe the device was under warranty. The revision doctor wanted to switch me to Titan to eliminate the need for RTE’s. My concern was that insurance would disallow the device cost as an AMS replacement would have been covered under warranty, leaving me responsible ...

Re: Flaccid Penis after implant
Not sure if unique, but my flaccid length is slightly longer than my erect length. When inflated the penis gets much wider and pulls back about one cm.

Re: I broke it... Revision coming. AMS or Titan?
Had both. Titan is harder but that puts it as ludicrous hard. AMS is harder than any natural erection and more natural when soft. I have titan now but preferred the AMS, notwithstanding the fact that it lasted only 3 years.

Re: Insurance questions
Insurance coverage and approval are separate things. My insurance would cover implementation but it was several cycles of proving I had exhausted all other forms of treatment before they would authorize. My initial surgery was postponed by Dr twice before the approval was granted.

Re: Before and after
Both were exceptionally ridged. Perhaps the Titan more so due to the shorter and wider outcome. At this point I am having an issue with the Titan pump not always pushing fluid into the cylinders. I can feel the reservoir tube vibrating as the pump pushing backwards into the reservoir on most attempt...

Before and after
Just to set an expectation of erection appearance after implant, in my case it not as full or as round or as high or as long as my original erection. It is going to be hard and it is going to stay hard! I did my best to scale pictures from before and after.
