Re: Lost size?!?

Re: How old were you when you got your implant?

How old where you when you got your implant? How was the pain factor with your recovery? How long did it take before you could use it regularly? I was 53, the pain factor was not an issue at all (just discomfort for a few days like someone else mentioned), and I could use it regularly at 8 weeks, w...

Re: Do successful implant men stay on Frank Talk?

I try and check FT at least once a week, but to your point, celebrating two years this month I am not as active as I was before the implant, probably for reasons (my problem is/was solved).

Re: New to ED

"Hi all. New to ED, thanks to non-nerve sparing RALP in Jan 2023. Before surgery, my wife and I agreed, along with the surgeon, that our goals (in order of importance) were 1) get rid of cancer, 2) have urinary control, and 3) maintaining sexual function. I had an aggressive cancer (Gleason 9) ...

Re: What was it like first day of activation?

This afternoon my wife asked me if we will be able to have sex the day of activation. My date is June 2nd, 2023 at 3 P M eastern time. I could not believe how enthusiastic she has become over this procedure. I am enthusiastic also but I am not saying anything for fear of jinxing the whole thing. My...

Re: Prostate Biopsy: How many snippets?

So sorry to hear this Lost Sheep - but I know through your posts that you are strong enough for this potential challenge. Prostate cancer brought me here searching for info on my future implant. You are on the right path with priorities. Bone scan, blood scan - make sure this is a localized event. O...

Re: AMS CX 21 CM

[quote="rauljazz77"]It is about 6 inches in my case the length that I had before the surgery.[/quote]

Exactly my point. OP, you will likely end up right where you started. And that is what we call a successful procedure.

Re: AMS CX 21 CM

Man, tempted to take a Vegas-style guess here but there are too many factors in play. The biggest question might be - what was your size pre-implant? And is that a recent measurement or one many moons ago, before the causation of your need for an implant presented? Help us out if you want an honest ...

Re: Looking to get implant

Dr. Hakky is indeed well-regarded in these parts. And he won't be implantting you if you are not a good candidate, so no harm in chatting him up. You don't mention any potential causes or mitigating influences on the ED so I don't want to assume the rest of your story. But Good Luck and keep us post...
