The guy on the home page looks like he could be Robert Costa's brother ;)

Not surprising to me at all. Heck I volunteered to be in a tv commercial for my implant manufacturer or be interviewed on something like Dr. Oz. Having a penile implant is a medical fact just like a hip or a knee. Nothing about it embarrasses me which is why I thoroughly enjoy speaking about it at seminars with urologists.
Became DaveKell 2.0 on July 18th with Dr. Allen Morey in Dallas, TX. AMS 700 CX implant. 18cm with 5.5 RTE's.

DaveKell, I totally agree & really wish more guys would have your attitude. Where I live here in Florida it is a very active retirement community of over 120,000 folks. I put a post on our website about anyone that’s had an implant for Ed to reply. I have had over 200 views with zero results. My surgery is June 18th, & I’ve done extensive research with everything that’s available out there. Decided on AMS 700 LGX after talking to both reps from both companies,FT posts,previous patients, & the guy like you who does seminars with my surgeon. I plan on being a real advocate for AMS & my surgeon after my procedure. I have 1 more office visit prior to my surgery so if there is any advice you can provide me I would certainly appreciate it. Nervous & scared! Loved your post! Bailey
77 yo with ED for over 20 years.Tried everything, & found injections were the only thing that worked.I am so grateful for FT. Was implanted 6/18/19 with a 18cm AMS LGX w 3.0cm RTE,100ml reservoir, infrapubic procedure by Dr. Richard Roach, “Bailey”

I would think, out of 120,000 folks (is that a total count or just the men?) there should be probably (just my W.A.G) 5,000 implanted me, of which probably (another W.A.G.) 500 would be willing to talk to you. But perhaps none participate where you posted.

I met a fellow willing to talk to me by posting a personal ad on Craigslist (before they terminated the personals section). Have you thought about posting a discreet invitation on a community bulletin board?

If privacy is an issue, buy a "burner" cell phone and post that number.

Good luck.

The site developer probably just bought rights to stock photos and this is likely just one of them. A common affordable practice.
Yeah I suspected as much, just thought it funny how much the guy looks like Costa 8-)

Few people know that I am a volunteer... :)
