Dave:

Welcome. You will find this is a great place and you will get a lot of support as you become bionic!!! With your post under Implants the guys there can answer questions, share hints, advice and humor. If you are pumping, suggest you keep that activity going to give yourself as much stretch and length as possible. More fun for the Holidays. . . . .

Sounds like by Valentine's Day, your arrow will be more than ready. Whoopee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Join in the Chat room as you can- this time of year it can be full or; guys out shopping at last minute. . . .

If I may where and who is doing you surgery?? There is also a thread entitled surgery schedule (I think) and you might list your big day there.

Have a great Christmas.

Regards,

Dick

I forgot to add, My surgeon is Richard Natale in Concord, NC. He is still a young guy and does not have an extensive track record in implants, but has a very good satisfaction rate and no significant problems. He did my prostate cancer surgery and my wife and i fell in love with him and we both trust him without reservation.He has been my doctor for just under two years. Big day is Jan 11, 2012.

Daverx,
You are about to become a NEW man! Welcome to our world.
I think you will find your wife will be like a kid in a candy store.
You may also find that waiting will be the hardest part (pun intended).
Most of us just could wait to get back in the saddle. I suspect you or mother will
not also! Best of luck to you and have a very Merry Christmas!
