I have an appointment with another doc in 27 days. I agree the first doc did not want to do the surgery for whatever phobia he suffers from. Insurance has approved though it may cost me $3-6k out of pocket. After the first let down the excitement about getting this done is over but I still want it d...

$30k is what they quoted me if it was uncomplicated. I have had so many surgeries that had other issues that I figure I should pad it another 60% in case. That is where I came up with $50k.

urologist is a Georgetown grad and supposedly one of the best in Central U.S. I checked other docs in the St. Louis area and was shocked how few do implants and how many are credentialed about the same as a mail carrier.

thanks

I do not remember which forum, but I read here that some of you folks changed from Androgel to injectible T and had a sizable increase in libido. I've been on 4 pumps androgel for a long time. Big improvement in muscle,, no-longer losing weight, turning into a hairy ape except head which is falling ...
