The discussion here often seems to boil down to "AMS vs Coloplast". In my opinion, the lack of (greater) competition between manufacturers is one reason why the quality of the implants is not as high as the current state of the art would certainly allow. Is this a further development? htt...

Maybe this should be in the humor section but,, In the news today the Secretary of Defense went missing without reporting it to Biden. As I listen to the reports that he had an elective procedure. Something goes wrong and 2 days later he is in intensive care at Walter Reed medical center. Being a h...

I would like someone who knows what to look for to look at it before they put it in my body.

If you don't trust your surgeon to be that "someone who knows what to look for", then you've chosen the wrong surgeon.

This is a good answer.

Artful todger, maybe this reflects a few different things happening. Maybe there is so much pent up desire that needed to be released. Maybe it was the newness of an implant. Hey, your magnetic personality did it. Now that this is in the past. Perhaps gently voicing your concerns are in order. Its m...

This has been talked about before. I almost hate to post my feelings but here goes. I feel like it was designed to be at empty or full. So I try to hit both ends of its range every other day. When cycling, I frequently fall asleep fully inflated much like it might be deflated for 2 days. I do not sq...

Gt1956: NOW I got you! I was confused about the internal measurement (not asleep). I've seen this, but I was unaware that it was used for measuring; I thought it was just for dilation. This response is terrific and pretty much tells me everything I wanted to know! Thanks for this. I guess I'll rese...

I had Aetna. Once I retired & moved to Medicare I switched to an Aetna Advantage plan. I did have coverage thru Mecicare. I'm not sure how or what Aetna covered. I recently learned that the anesthesia doesn't do billing. I need to pass the bill to the approriate companies. I had run into this be...

I'm not sure what you're looking for. The implants are in a sterile package. Normally any prep work is done at a seperate table by surgical staff that is all washed & suited up. This table has been called the back table. I'm pretty sure that this is common now days for infection control. My opin...

tomas1: That's good to hear, but I'm still curious as to how he measured you (?). You have been sleeping in class. The dr measures INSIDE your dick with a special tool once you are sedated & he cuts you open. He has a large selection of sizes available to him at the time of surgery. Once sedate...

Just some observations. While the Titan cylinders are larger when new. The material does not stretch very much. AMS advertises that the LGX stretches up to 25%. They don't advertise that the CX also stretches in girth & length. But it does but not 25%. Myself & several others have 6" gi...
